Remove all li from ul inside a div

Question

I need to remove all items from a list that is inside a div using jQuery

The problem is that the ul has no class or id but the div has an id.

<div id="myDiv">
    <ul>
        <li>1</li>
        <li>2</li>
        <li>3</li>
        <li>4</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Answer 1

use .empty()

$('#myDiv > ul').empty();

Answer 2

$('#myDiv ul li').remove();
