Prototypes, for example, are used once and thrown away. You use it to prove something is possible (or not), then you throw it away to make a actual solution. Other examples are code/scripts to perform a one-off automation of a task.

It is software which you are not going to maintain. Because it will no longer exist after it has been used.
