You can navigate to the 2nd line with

2G

and just type

dd

You can use the Ex mode command

:2d

to delete the second line.

However, this is such a trivial/basic task that I wonder if you have
some other more complex task in your head, such as iterating over a
large number of files and deleting the 2nd line on each of them.
This could be done with

:set hidden
:argdo 2d

you can then review the changes and issue

:wall

to save them all, or you can

:qa!

to abandon those changes.
