Answer 1

Shutting down a project in the console releases all resources used within the project.

To shut down a project:

1. Go to the Cloud Platform Console.
2. Open the console menu Gallery Menu on the top left and select IAM & Admin, then select All projects.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Google is charging for resource usage. If you delete a project, your project will not use any resource and you will not get charged.
