Google Cloud Delete Resources

Introduction

During the course of our trianing we have started multiple gcloud instances and created several GCP buckets as part of the training. You can continue to work with these resources or choose to terminate them as you will incur some charges if they are kept running.

What are we going to cover

In this chapter, we will cover the steps required to follow that will terminate your GCP assets.

Steps to delete

Terminating via console

• In the Google Cloud console, go to the IAM & Admin Settings page.

• On the IAM & Admin Settings page, click Select a project.

• Select the project you want to delete.

project delete

• Click Shut down & enter the project ID, then click Shut down.

• You can recover most resources if you restore a project within the 30-day period. Some services have delays in restoring and you might need to wait some time for services to be restored.

• At the end of the 30-day period, the project and all of its resources are deleted and cannot be recovered. Until it is deleted, the project counts towards your project quota but you won't be charged.

Terminating via gcloud

• Follow the below command to terminate the project

gcloud projects delete PROJECT_ID
