This page describes how to shut down (delete) and restore a
Google Cloud project that contains Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources.
Shut down (delete) a project
When you delete a project, it's marked for deletion and isn't usable. At the end
of the recovery period, it's deleted. However, during the recovery period, the
billing continues for the Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources. If you want to stop
the billing for your Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources immediately, you can
delete them before deleting the project itself. However, in this case, the
resources are permanently deleted and you can't recover them.
Google Cloud adds a lien on the project containing your
Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources to protect them against project deletion.
Therefore, before deleting a project, you must remove its lien.
