If you dont need to remove specify item, you can delete your element. And then create new one.

HTML

<div class="mainSection">
    <div id="main"></div>
</div>

Script

<script>
   $("#main").remove();
   $(".mainSection").append("<div id='main'></div>");
   $("#main").msDropDown().data("dd"); 
</script>

In my opinion the best way to delete all item is

var oHandler = $("#main").msDropDown().data("dd");
oHandler.set("length", 0);

You need to specify an index when calling the .remove() method and you can get the count of all options by accessing the childElementCount property. Then you just need to remove all the options. Example below:

var oHandler2 = $("#main").msDropDown().data("dd");

for(var i = 0; i < oHandler2.childElementCount; i++){
    oHandler2.remove(0); //remove the current first option
}
