You need to use && instead of AND and length to check if element exists. JQuery selector returns the object even the selector returns No element. So using .length will return zero when no element is return by selector and greater than zero when element(s) are returned by selector.

if($("#one").length && $("#two").length) {
   $("#one").remove();
}
