In order to remove a search service application, i have tried to remove the search content dbs using powershell mentioned here:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/66f664b5-1586-4290-beb3-a7acfe739fb7/unable-to-delete-search-service-application-operand-type-clash?forum=sharepointadminprevious and I got the removal of contentd dbs related with search. But when i went to central admin -->service accounts --> selected the dropdown credential mgmnt-> that service application pool for that unwanted service application pool was still showing up! how to remove that item from the dropdown?

why this applicqation pool is not shown in INETMGR ? here is the scrn shot: SERVICE-APPLN-ACCOUNT-REMOVAL

when i tried to delete the spmanaged account :

An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SPManagedAccount Name=managed-account-S-1-5-21-266749940-1637964444-929701000-1532211", could not be deleted because other objects depend on it. Update all of these dependants to point to null or different objects and retry this operation. The dependant objects are as follows: SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool Name=SearchPool SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool Name=UserProfilePool SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool Name=UserProfileServiceAppPool

how can i Update all of these dependants to point to null ? can i do this using powershell?
