I am unable to permanently delete Google App Engine managed VMs I\'ve created. I\'ve deleted them multiple times both from the developer\'s console and by using the gcloud
I ran into the same problem this is how i was able to stop the managed VM permanently. Just go to appengine -> settings -> disable application. This will automatically stop and delete your VM. In future if you want to run managed vm just enable application this will redeploy your application to the last known version.
