EXAMPLE 1: Adding a Web application and removing it

IIS:\>New-WebApplication -Name TestApp -Site "Default Web Site" -PhysicalPath "$env:systemdrive\inetpub\TestApp" 
"Sleep for 5 seconds before Web App is removed"; Sleep 5 
Remove-WebApplication -Name TestApp -Site "Default Web Site"

This example demonstrates how to create a Web application named TestApp on the Default Web Site. The application is then removed after 5 seconds.
