Clean up
Use the following instructions to delete your Google Cloud project.
Before you begin
When you delete a project, the following actions take place:
All contents in the project are deleted. If you used an existing project
to get started using NetApp Volumes, you delete any other
work completed in the project.
Custom project IDs are lost. When you created the project, you might
have created a custom project ID that you want to use in the future. To
preserve the URLs that use the project ID, such as an appspot.com URL,
delete selected resources inside the project instead of deleting the
whole project.
Delete the Google Cloud project
Use the following instructions to delete a Google Cloud project:
Go to Manage resources in the Google Cloud console.
In the project list, select the project that you want to delete and then
click Delete.
In the dialog, enter the project ID and then click Shut down to
delete the project.
