Deleting a SharePoint List using PowerShell

I recently encountered an issue whereby a SharePoint List was restored to a site using a Granular Backup, however, the site could not be deleted from the User Interface.

Of course, I decided to try deleting it via PowerShell using the following script:

$siteUrl = "http://sp2013sp1"

$listTitle = "My List"

$web = Get-SPWeb $siteUrl

$list = $web.Lists[$listTitle]

$list.AllowDeletion = $true

$list.Update()

$list.Delete()

$web.Close()

As you can guess, the PowerShell script worked!
