Delete your test project

Deleting your Google Cloud project stops billing for all resources in thatproject. To release all Google Cloud resources in your project, follow these steps:

    Caution: Deleting a project has the following effects:
    • Everything in the project is deleted. If you used an existing project for the tasks in this document, when you delete it, you also delete any other work you've done in the project.

To preserve the URLs that use the project ID, such as anappspot.com URL, delete selected resources inside the project instead of deleting the whole project.
  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to theManage resources page.

    Go to Manage resources

  2. In the project list, select the project that you want to delete, and then clickDelete.
