How to delete a project from Google Cloud Console

Question

It seems that, from Google Cloud Console there is no way to delete a project.

Note: As of 2013-09-19 this is no longer an issue because Google had fixed

Answer 1

As of Dec 30, 2017, this appears to be different (yet again). I did the following.

Logon to the Google Cloud Console, Select IAM & Admin then Settings (from hamburger menu on top-left nav-bar). This is a cascading menu. After choosing that I saw the following.

On the bottom left of the screen is a button/link labeled Manage resources, click on it.

After clicking on it, I saw the following screen, on which I selected the project name I wanted to delete and clicked the Delete ICON/button.

Then I was asked if I wanted to "SHUTDOWN" the project and to do so I had to enter the project ID number, so I did and then clicked on the SHUTDOWN button/link.

Hope this helps someone. The others answers did help me out but were not the exact steps I had to follow.

Important Note: The terms "Shutting Down" a project and "Deleteting a Project" seem to mean the same thing, so if you stumble across something that says "Shutdown the project" you have likely come across another way to "delete the project".

Answer 2

Deletion of projects is no longer available under the old Google Cloud Platform Console. To delete a project, open the latest console. Once done, you should be able to see a list of your projects as well as the delete icon(s) on the right side:

You must be a project owner to shut down a project.

Answer 3

Just found that Google doesn't allow you to delete project in old console anymore. For now, you need to click on project, then "Billing & Settings", you will find delete button there.

Answer 4

You must first disable billing before deleting any project. See link https://developers.google.com/console/help/#deletingaproject

To delete projects created using Google cloud console, you can use the following method:
1: Create a dummy gmail account.
2: Add the dummy gmail account as an owner of the project.
3: Login into the dummy gmail account.
4: Accept your role as owner of the project.
5: Visit Cloud console.
5: Go to Cloud Console -> Permissions and delete the main user from the project.

NOTE:
Other than Step 2, rest all the steps should be performed using dummy gmail account.

You may need to visit https://appengine.google.com/, select an application, then go to Administration -> Application Settings, scroll down half-way and click "Disable Application" under "Disable or Delete". One the next page you can also request permanent deletion.
