How to Remove SharePoint extended web application;How to change SharePoint web-application Host Header

I came across the issue where I have to change Host Header of Extended web application in SharePoint 2010 , I found that you can not change host header of extended web application  to new one ,To achieve this we have to remove that extended zone web application from central administration 

1.  Go to Central Administrator, Application Management, Select the Web Application you wish to change and hit the arrow under Delete and choose  Remove SharePoint from IIS Site.

2. Next, select the associated site you which to update the host header URL against.    For Delete IIS web sites, select No and hit OK.

After these steps ,extended web application will no longer be associated with your web application and you can extend it again with new Host Header and details for the same zone , I hope it helps.

I found above solution @ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2013/02/27/how-to-properly-change-the-host-header-url-of-a-web-application-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx , Thanks to  "Russ Maxwell"
