removing the last 3 divs inside the div using native javascript

It should first look like this:

<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
      <div>three</div>
      <div>four</div>
      <div>five</div>
</div>

After removing it:

<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
</div>

I tried removing it by assigning individual id names on them but its impossible to track the changes since its constantly changing and shuffling.

The last three can be identified with .slice(-3) on the node list (when converted to array):

const parent = document.querySelector("#name");
[...parent.children].slice(-3).forEach(parent.removeChild.bind(parent));

<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
      <div>three</div>
      <div>four</div>
      <div>five</div>
</div>

You can select the last 3 divs with :nth-last-child(-n+3) and delete them in an iteration

document.querySelectorAll('#name > div:nth-last-child(-n+3)').forEach(n => {
  n.parentNode.removeChild(n)
})

<div id="name">
  <div>one</div>
  <div>two</div>
  <div>three</div>
  <div>four</div>
  <div>five</div>
</div>

Loop through the set in reverse and remove the first 3 you find:

let divs = document.querySelectorAll("#name > div"); // Get all the child divs

// Set up loop to go from highest index to lowest, but not to the first two
for(var i = divs.length -1; i > 1; i--){
  // Remove node at the current index
  divs[i].parentNode.removeChild(divs[i]);
}

<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
      <div>three</div>
      <div>four</div>
      <div>five</div>
</div>

You can get all children nodes of #name with document.querySelectorAll('#name>div'). The rest should be easy enough:

function deleteLast3() {
  var childrens = document.querySelectorAll('#name>div');
  for (var index = 0; index < childrens.length; index++) {
    if (index >= childrens.length - 3) childrens[index].remove();
  }
}

<div id="name">
  <div>one</div>
  <div>two</div>
  <div>three</div>
  <div>four</div>
  <div>five</div>
</div>
<button onclick="deleteLast3()">Delete 3</button>

You can use this code:

EDIT: using parentDivDOM.children you retrieve all the direct chilldren of your parent div. Then, starting from the last one, you check if it's a div checking its tag name: if it is, you delete it.

Notice that you also keep track of how many div you have deleted with the count variable.

const parentDivDOM = document.getElementById("name");
const childrenDOM = parentDivDOM.children;

for (let i=childrenDOM.length-1, count=0; i>=0 && count<3; i--) {
  if (childrenDOM[i].tagName === "DIV") {
    childrenDOM[i].parentElement.removeChild(childrenDOM[i]);
    count++;
  }
}

<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
      <div>three</div>
      <div>four</div>
      <div>five</div>
</div>

Here is a try

function deleteLast3() {
document.querySelectorAll('#name div')
.forEach(function (x, i, self){
if (self.length -3 <= i) 
    x.remove();
});
}

<div id="name">
  <div>one</div>
  <div>two</div>
  <div>three</div>
  <div>four</div>
  <div>five</div>
</div>
<button onclick="deleteLast3()">Delete 3</button>

Although the question for javascript I would suggest to do this with jQuery.

$('#name').find("div").slice(-3).remove();

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="name">
      <div>one</div>
      <div>two</div>
      <div>three</div>
      <div>four</div>
      <div>five</div>
</div>

Hope it helps.
