Core

var customerKey = "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3";

var lst = List.Init(customerKey);

var result = lst.Remove();

<script runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core", "1");

	try {

        var request = List.Retrieve({
            Property: "ListName",
            SimpleOperator: "equals",
            Value: "MyNewList"
        });

        var customerKey = request[0].CustomerKey;

        var lst = List.Init(customerKey);

        var result = lst.Remove();

        Write(Stringify(result));
		
	} catch(error) {

        Write(Stringify(error));
        
    }	

</script>

"OK"

WSProxy

var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

var result = api.deleteItem("List", {
    ID: "12345"
});

<script runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core", "1");

    var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

    try {

        var request = api.retrieve("List", ["ListName", "Category", "ID"], {
            Property: "ListName",
            SimpleOperator: "equals",
            Value: "MyNewList"
        });

        var id = request.Results[0].ID;

        var result = api.deleteItem("List", {
            ID: id
        });

        Write(Stringify(result));

    } catch (error) {

        Write(Stringify(error));

    }
