Killing Zombie Websites

Isn't it annoying how deleting a folder from your wwwroot$ doesn't automatically remove the corresponding website in IIS? You have to go into IIS and delete the website. If you're lazy like me, you probably have about a dozen left-over zombie websites waiting to be deleted (or eat some brains).

I know that this post was years ago - but I can relate to the picture you have.
Check Server Health (the url you show) returns a page that is mostly not text - appears as when you see a non text file using notepad

What am I doing wrong? or What is broken?
