I found this post that also works for Share point 2013.

according to that, we can do this :

1. Launch the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell with administrator privileges (Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products -> Right click on SharePoint 2010 Management Shell -> Run as administrator).
2. Run 'Get-SPServiceApplicationPool'.
3. Run 'Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity <"Name of the application pool">
4. Run ‘Remove-SPServiceApplicationPool’.
5. Input the Identity <"Name of the application pool">.
6. Input 'Y' to delete the application pool.
