Create an agent
To create an agent with the console (common), follow these steps:
Click Create Agent in the left menu.
(If you already have other agents, click the agent name,
scroll to the bottom and click Create new agent.)
Enter your agent's name, default language, default time zone and GCP project, then click the
Create button. (You can change the
agent edition
after creation.)
Click on the settings settings button next to the agent's name.
Select the General tab,
and scroll down to the bottom.
Click Delete this agent.
If you do not see the Delete this agent button,
it is because you do not have the required Owner/Admin role.
Enter DELETE in the text field.
Click Delete.
If you
delete your project,
all Dialogflow ES agents and data associated with the project
are deleted within 60 days of project deletion.
If you receive an error when attempting to delete a project
due to an existing lien,
see the troubleshooting documentation
section on project liens.
