[google-developers-console] How to delete Project from Google Developers Console

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.

The answer is


  1. Open https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager
  2. Select the projects you want to remove
  3. Click 'Remove'

You can try delete project via Google Cloud Platform https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/projects delete project from google cloud platform

Select required project and click DELETE PROJECT. The project will be completely deleted after 7 days


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.


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")

enter image description here

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

enter image description here

Yep, it was hard


As of this writing, it was necessary to:

  1. Select 'Manage all projects' from the dropdown list at the top of the Console page
  2. Click the delete button (trashcan icon) for the specific project on the project listing page

Simply go to https://console.developers.google.com/iam-admin/projects you must be signed in of course. There you will see the all your projects google console projects so just select the project you want to delete, and click delete project option which is shown at the top of the table. I have provided the screenshothere


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

Now you may see trash icon and DELETE PROJECT button.


Go to Google Cloud Console, select the project then IAM and Admin and Settings

enter image description here

now SHUT DOWN

enter image description here

Then you have to wait for the project deletion.

  1. Go to the developers console and pick the application from the dropdown
  2. Select the utilities icon (see image below) and click project settings
  3. Click on the the Delete Project link
  4. Enter the project ID and click Shutdown, project will be deleted in 7 days

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...
