How to delete Project from Google Developers Console

Question

Seems like Google services are increasingly harder to manage. Now i want to delete a project ID that was previously created in another test account.

Assuming that I could recreate it in another account. The main reason for this is that the Google+ app is connected/created in this test account and the email address will be shown when someone is confronted with the login credentials.

Google says that this is possible (https://developers.google.com/console/help/):

Deleting a project

Deleting a project from the Console releases all resources used within the project itself. Please note that in order to delete a project, you must first disable billing on the project. Additionally, please note that the time it takes to delete a project may vary based on the number or kind of services in use within the project.

When I go to billing, it shows that no billing profile has been set up.

Answer 1

The delete button is right there where the help page says it is.

To shut down a project using the Cloud Platform Console:

• Open the Settings page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.

• Click Select a project.

• Select a project you wish to delete, and click Open.
• Click Shut down.
• Enter the Project ID and click Shut down.

Please note that there is a 7-day grace period before the project is actually purged from the system. Which means you won't be able to immediately create another project with the same name.

To other Googlers: this is outdated now. – Hausfrau

The link works as of March 7th 2019. The interface doesn't look the same but you can access the 'delete' function by clicking three vertical dots on the extreme right of each project. – Worn

I used console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager – Casern

As of this writing, it was necessary to:

2. Click the delete button (trashcan icon) for the specific project on the project listing page

Currently, In newer console this is how you delete it. – Montelongo

Well, I've deleted and still can't use my SHA1 key – Eisk

This puts projects into a pending deletion list. Why can't it just be deleted there and then if there are not billing settings for this project. All I have is a Android Maps api key. Hello 21st century. – Ruralize

Answer 6

1. Click "Utilities and more" near the upper right corner of the screen after choosing your project
2. Choose "Project settings" from the drop down of the "Utilities and more" icon.

Now you may see trash icon and DELETE PROJECT button.

Answer 8

I found when I accessed here https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard

Then I got redirected to my active project, which was something like https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard?project={THE_ID_OF_YOUR_PROJECT}

Then right bellow the project info, there was this Manage Options (note: I'm using Portuguese language here "Gerenciar as configurações do projeto" means "Manage project settings")

Then, finally, the delete option ("Excluir Projeto" means Delete Project)

Yep, it was hard

For me only way to delete project was switch language to English (UK) - from Polish and then button "DELETE" worked. If anyone have problem with not working or missing options in Google Cloud Platform I suggest switching to english after that everything works like charm...
