You can use parentNode on the element to get its parent, and use removeChild on it.
var el = document.getElementById( 'id' );
el.parentNode.removeChild( el );

Actually I am tring to remove the div elements of Google Hangouts Page, while loading my application.
In jQuery, just $('#your_id').remove(); will work.

+1 for showing how easy it's done with jQuery, even though the OP didn't ask for it. )

@raina77ow your statement says the following "congratulations for promoting a certain project" and "the OP didn't mention being able to use this library but what the heck +1 none the less". In other cases answers that require an external library that wasn't specifically asked for or accepted as a possibility by the op are downvoted.

Well, in my environment it's always beneficial to use some library instead of writing your own code - unless one has very strong reasons not to do so. Besides, I suppose the OP just begins to learn JavaScript: in that case studying jQuery as well will save him a LOT of time - as this answer clearly shows. If you want him to reinvent the wheel instead, good luck.

I'm using
$("#another-media["+data.id+"]").remove(); but it doesn't work
