How do I completely delete my App Engine instance? - google-app-engine

I've decided to go with Google Compute Engine instead of App Engine.
I want to completely disable the App Engine.
I've already deployed an empty project (app.yaml + empty index.php) instead of the older one to save on storage space, but the URL (*.appspot.com) is still accessible and it'll create instances when accessed.
How do I disable that?

If you go to application settings on the console then Disable or Delete Application you can stop instances spinning up by disabling the application or queue it for actual deletion.
You may need to go to the "original" console as I'm not sure this option is available yet on the new 'cloud' console.
This link might help with getting to that original console if needed:
https://appengine.google.com/settings?&app_id=s~YOUR_APP_ID
Here's a screenshot of the location of the disable application button on settings page:

You need to shutdown your project and that will queue it for deletion.
To do that, go to IAM & admin > Settings for that particular project.
https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/settings/project?project=%appengine_id%
Then click on SHUT DOWN.
It will take 30 days for the appengine project to be completely deleted.

For the Cloud Developer Console you need to select the App Project that you want to delete. Then you have to go to "Billing & settings". Then click "Delete project" to delete your App project.

Use this console to delete your app.
Click the "Remove" Icon to delete your apps.
You can see all of those deleted apps by clicking "Projects pending deletion".
You will receive an email next day, whose title is "Project Removal Announcement".
The Google Developers Console team will remove your project permanently one week from the time of your request.

Eclipse send build to our old account after we change it

for technical reasons we need to change our codenameone account and all our proyects, we created the new account correctly, and on eclipse plugin we loging with the new account, (we had to reset our password in the old account).
The problem is when we try to send the build to the new account, all the builds are sending to the old account. whats the problem?
How must we change to send the builds to the new account.
Regards.
You need to open regedit and delete all of the usage of codename1 and codenameone you can find. On the web you need to delete all cookies and storage related to the domain auth.codenameone.com. This should let you relogin properly.

Giving access to others on new GAE console

With old GAE console you could invite others to join a project as owner or developer. Recently this option is moved to the new cloud console.
I used to use the old console to get access to client's so I can deploy application and make changes to it. The process involved with login into the project and inviting the new user. Then an email was sent to the new user and after he/she accepts the invite he/she could access this application directly from his/her console at appengine.google.com.
I tried the same process with the new changes couple of days ago, logged in into the new project and from the permission menu added myself to the project. However no email was sent to me and I still don't see this new application in my console!
Interestingly enough if I go to https://console.developers.google.com/project I see this new project there is no logs or data-objects listed. If I go to appengine.google.com I won't see this project and that's where I can go to application's console!
Not sure what's going on, has anyone seen this? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I found the issue!
If you add a new project via appengine.google.com (old way) the application won't show up under Compute/App Engnie section of console.developers.google.com as simple as that.
The proper way to get all functionality is to add the new project using the console and then use the permission to add others.
It's strange and I couldn't find any documentation that explains it but I've tested and resolved my own issue this way. Hope this helps others.

Retaining original app name after a high replication datastore migration

I seem to have 2 separate applications on GAE, the original one with the fictitious name xyz and an hrd one with the name xyz-hrd. I only want one with the name xyz but I want it to use the high resolution datastore. I am trying to use the instructions here.
I am near the end of the HRD migration stage on xyz and have clicked on "Activate Read-only". In step 11 the instructions say the following.
You will be notified when the migration tool is ready to alias the application (by email if you chose that, or by a message when your refresh the browser window). Click Finish Migration to complete the migration. At this point, the new HRD application begins serving incoming requests.
When I launch xyz at appspot.com, there are no changes.
When I launch xyz-hrd at appspot.com, there are changes, but only new data items.
Do I click on "Finish Migration" or not, and when I do, how will I get all the changes and all of the data items under the application name xyz? I am very nervous about this because the instructions say there is not way to revert after clicking on "Finish Migration".
By the way, in my "dashboard" I can select from among my applications which lists both xyz and xyz-hrd. When I select xyz I (still) see 2 warnings, but no warnings are present when I select xyz-hrd. Below are the 2 warnings.
A version of this application is using the Python 2.5 runtime, which is deprecated!
This application is using the Master/Slave datastore which is deprecated!
There is no way to reclaim the old app url for the new one. I know, its lame.
To avoid that in the future, map the appspot to a google apps domain so it has a fixed url.
For now, at most you can upload a new version to the old app which redirects to the new one.
Before migration you are supposed to stop using the old one by making it readonly. Otherwise changes there wont migrate.

Can't add new hostname to google app engine

I am trying to add my new hostname "www.malaysiakini.com" to google app engine web address, but it fail to do so.
I was mapped my hostname to google pagespeed since last year. And i already remove google pagespeed service from the project list today.
I thought the hostname is now not being use by any service. Then, i tried to add the hostname into google app engine web address, i get the error message showing "Already used, please remove previous mapping first".
Can anyone help me on this?
I dont think you can use that name again, even if you deleted that app or the name.appspot.com domain seems not to exist. I think Google keeps a list of used app-names and I dont know if it's possible to delete an unused name from that list after you registered it, even if you deleted the app itself.
If you go to: https://appengine.google.com/settings?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
You should be able to see a button: "Add Domain" click on it and it will take you into the process of assign your own domain for this specific project.

How to delete a project from Google Cloud Console

It seems that, from Google Cloud Console there is no way to delete a project.
Note: As of 2013-09-19 this is no longer an issue because
Google had fixed it.
- Now you can click on the check box and then
click delete
As 2017 approaches, Raptor's answer pretty much nailed it, but here is a screenshot and the basic steps to delete a project from the google cloud platform.
Go to console.cloud.google.com
Select your project (from drop-down on top nav-bar)
Select IAM & Admin (from hamburger menu on top-left nav-bar)
Click Settings in the left-side-bar nav.
Click SHUT DOWN (image shows DELETE PROJECT)
Enter text per instructions to confirm project shutdown.
UPDATE 11-2020
After clicking SHUT DOWN, you'll see the final dialog popup with instructions on what to type to confirm.
Try to change back to old console design.. You can find delete button there.
This is the old url
https://code.google.com/apis/console/
Then you click in the left sidebar on the project name, you'll have a "delete" link :)
Deleting your project from old console is no longer available!
So in the new console go to Billing and Settings and delete your project from there.
And you are done. Project will get deleted after 7 days waiting period!
You must first disable billing before deleting any project. See link https://developers.google.com/console/help/#deletingaproject
Since the console design has changed, many of the given solutions here won't apply anymore. Here is what Google help says here: https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6251787?hl=en&ref_topic=6158848
To shut down a project:
Go to the Cloud Platform Console.
Open the console menu Gallery Menu on the top left and select IAM & Admin, then select All projects.
Find the name or project ID of the project you want to shut down, then
click DELETE PROJECT. A confirmation screen describing what will
happen appears.
To confirm, enter your project ID and click Shut down.
Shutting down a project stops all billing and traffic serving, shuts
down any Google Cloud Platform App Engine applications, and terminates
all Compute Engine instances. All project data associated with Google
Cloud and Google APIs services becomes inaccessible.
After a 7-day waiting period, the project and associated data are
permanently deleted from the console.
As of July 2017 the waiting period has increased:
After a 30-day waiting period, the project and associated data are permanently deleted from the console.
As of Dec 30, 2017, this appears to be different (yet again). I did the following.
Logon to the Google Cloud Console, Select IAM & Admin then Settings (from hamburger menu on top-left nav-bar). This is a cascading menu. After choosing that I saw the following.
On the bottom left of the screen is a button/link labeled Manage resources, click on it.
After clicking on it, I saw the following screen, on which I selected the project name I wanted to delete and clicked the Delete ICON/button.
Then I was asked if I wanted to "SHUTDOWN" the project and to do so I had to enter the project ID number, so I did and then clicked on the SHUTDOWN button/link.
Hope this helps someone. The others answers did help me out but were not the exact steps I had to follow.
Important Note: The terms "Shutting Down" a project and "Deleteting a Project" seem to mean the same thing, so if you stumble across something that says "Shutdown the project" you have likely come across another way to "delete the project".
open cmd in google cloud(which can be found after clicking in your project in right top corner) and type
gcloud projects delete [..your-project-id..]
Login with your Google Account
Navigate to this page: https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager?organizationId=0
Select a single project
Click "DELETE" (on top, above projects table)
You may need to visit https://appengine.google.com/, select an application, then go to Administration -> Application Settings, scroll down half-way and click "Disable Application" under "Disable or Delete". One the next page you can also request permanent deletion.
Just found that Google doesn't allow you to delete project in old console anymore. For now, you need to click on project, then "Billing & Settings", you will find delete button there.
Deletion of projects is no longer available under the old Google Cloud Platform Console. To delete a project, open the latest console. Once done, you should be able to see a list of your projects as well as the delete icon(s) on the right side:
You must be a project owner to shut down a project.
It's July 2018, none of the above works. Here is what I spotted and successfully deleted un-needed projects.
https://cloud.google.com/go/getting-started/delete-tutorial-resources
You need to delete all the unwanted project(s) else will be billed regardless.
Answering the question after a long time its been asked. Hopefully it will help someone who is looking for it in 2022.
As per the documentation of creating and managing projects in google cloud. its a simple process.
Search for IAM & Admin in global search.
Once we click on IAM & Admin we will land up in a page as follows.
Go to settings page from the left menu
It will take us to the currently selected project's settings page. On top there is a shutdown button. Press that for deleting the project.
Please note as per the official documentation,
This method immediately marks a project to be deleted. A notification email will be sent to the user who initiated the delete operation and the Technical category contacts that are listed in Essential Contacts. If there's no contact in the Technical category, the fallback contact will not be notified. A project that is marked for deletion is not usable. If the project has a billing account associated with it, that association is broken, and isn't reinstated if the project delete operation is canceled. After 30 days, the project is fully deleted.
Once we press the shutdown button, GCP will show a popup as shown below.
As a confirmation GCP is asking for project id to be manually entered in the popup. Enter the project id with caution and press shutdown in the popup.
It will show the success message as show below.
That's it. Hope it will help someone.
