I'm trying to clear the div's innerHTML before repopulating it. I tried removeData() but once that's called, when I try to add the data, I get nothing from the next line after remove whereas if I remove the removeData() it's fine again. I just want to clear out any previous content in that div before I re-populate it.
divToUpdate.removeData(); //clean out any existing innerHTML div content first divToUpdate.html(data); It looks like it never gets to my divToUpdate.html(data) for some reason after it calls that removeData();

innerHTML strings. You only need to + sign when inserting variables, not between HTML Tags. Also, you should use " only when opening & closing part of the string and ' for attributes. Or the opposite.
To set the value of innerHTML property, you use this syntax: element. innerHTML = newHTML; The setting will replace the existing content of an element with the new content.
The use of innerHTML creates a potential security risk for your website. Malicious users can use cross-site scripting (XSS) to add malicious client-side scripts that steal private user information stored in session cookies.
jQuery Data is a different concept than HTML. removeData is not for removing element content, it's for removing data items you've previously stored.
