Cannot delete version

Question

I cannot stop or delete versions of a project created as it was created as a flexible environment within the EU. I understand the restriction by region but cannot work out w

Answer 1

You have to have at least one version for the default module. That's the reason why it doesn't allow you to delete it.

You need to deploy a new version, it can be a Flexible VM (deployed to another region in your situation), or Standard VM.

As a workaround, when you don't have any app to replace it right now, you can deploy an empty app instead. You have to create an app.yaml:

---
runtime: python38
handlers:
  - url: /
    script: auto

and deploy it using:

gcloud app deploy app.yaml

As your app.yaml doesn't have any script to execute, you'll not be charged for any instance.

Answer 2

If you want to stop app engine you can disable it App Engine -> Settings -> Disable application

This will only stop traffic to you Application after that you can remove the instances.
