How do I delete my Google Cloud Platform Account?

Question

I have 2 cloud accounts and only need one, how do I delete or cancel my account so I do not have to pay for the one?

Answer 1

By "account", I assume that you mean "Google Cloud Platform project", because a "Google Cloud Platform Account" is the same as a Google account, assuming you're referring to user credentials. You don't pay for such an account; you only pay for the resources you use, which are attached to a project.

You can easily delete a project from Google Cloud Console — once you delete it, it will delete any contained resources and you won't be charged for them.

Note that a project will not cost you anything if it is not consuming any resources.

Thus, there's no need to delete or cancel either your email accounts or projects. As soon as you stop using resources within a particular project, you will stop being charged for those resources.
