you can remove elements like this

var element = document.getElementById("element-id"); element.parentNode.removeChild(element);

or document.getElementById("my-element").remove();

Try adding a quote

$('#Dictionary1').find('#row1').remove();

Your #Dictionary1 was missing a quote

An id should only be used once within a document. If you are planning on having the same identifier more than once, you should use classes. 

<div id='Dictionary0'>
  <div id='dept'>
    <table id ='books'>
      <tr class = 'row1'><td>..</td>
      <tr class  = 'row1'><td>..</td>
       ..
       ..
       </tr>
     </table>
   </div>
  </div>


<div id='Dictionary1'>
  <div id='dept'>
    <table  ='books'>
      <tr class = 'row1'><td>..</td>
      <tr class  = 'row1'><td>..</td>
       ..
       ..
       </tr>
     </table>
   </div>
  </div>

Using this approach you can then delete all the elements with the row1 class with the following code:

$('#Dictonary1 .row1').remove();
