We have traditionally restricted changes to our appInsight templates, but this is a request I'm monitoring under   If you're interested, please upvote that feature request.

Can you confirm whether this has been deleted in IIS? Are you trying to remove this just from being monitored?

While AppInsight templates are locked from being changed, there is still a way to unmanage any of the components that are discovered within the AppInsight application template.

Here is one way that you can accomplish this. Starting at the point shown in your screen shot, click on the 'DefaultAppPool' object link. On the proceeding page, you'll see the details of the 'DefaultAppPool' application pool. If you click the button to 'Unmanage Application Pool' (or likewise for the Default Site, etc) if will no longer monitor and no longer alert on this component.

CAVEAT: Whenever you update Orion OR rediscover the node[s], you will most likely need to re-unmanage this component. That has been my experience. (serena​, I should probably submit this as a bug/feature request?)
