This is a useful PowerShell snippet.

I tried running this and I get problems with the delete tests. Delete does not work against the app pool when the site still exists. Surely you should run website delete test first.

# check if web site exists and delete it - for testing purposes
$tempWebsite  = gwmi -namespace "root\MicrosoftIISv2" 
                     -class "IISWebServerSetting" 
                     -filter "ServerComment like '%$name%'"
if (!($tempWebsite -eq $NULL)) {$tempWebsite.delete()}

Run this first, then run the app pool deletion test.
I realise you have marked these as tests but surely it is useful to exit or delete if webs site exists.
