I figured it out by looking at iisweb.vbs, Delete_ does work:

def delete_site(self, site):
     """ stop and delete a website """
     for website in self.iis.IIsWebServerSetting():
         if site['name'] == website.ServerComment:
             webserver = self.iis.IIsWebServer(Name=website.Name)[0]
             webserver.Stop()
             webserver.Delete_()
