After the Image Import Job completes, successfully orotherwise, there's no further use for the Image Import resource.

The image is imported to a Google Cloud Project, desginated by the TargetProject resource. To get a list of Target Projects, run the gcloud alphamigration vms target-projects list command. Use the Google Cloud console to addtarget project resources. For information on adding target projects, seehttps://cloud.google.com/migrate/virtual-machines/docs/5.0/how-to/target-project.

A project can support a maximum of 1000 Image Import resources per project.Hence it's recommended to delete an Image Import resource after the Image ImportJob is complete to avoid reaching the Image Import resources limit. Deletion ofImage Import resource does not affect the imported image.
