Deleting a Google App Engine application

Is it possible to delete an GAE application after it has been created?

I made a mistake while typing the name and now have a dummy application that I haven't been able to remove.

There currently isn't a way to delete a GAE application.

I was evaluating if we could use AppEngine and ran the standard tutorial which created a test app for me under my the default project. When I tried to delete the App I was shocked that it can't be done ! The only way is to delete the project which would delete all other GKE and any other services under that account.

After a bunch of research and calling product support of Google this what they suggested: To upgrade to Silver Support for 150$/month and send them an email to delete the app.

Here is the chat session with Google Support. If you were considering using Google AppEngine I would think again.

Beyond disabling the App Engine application you can:

  • Disable it's API permission under APIs & Services
  • Remove the App Engine related files from Storage
  • Delete App Engine permissions under IAM & Admin
  • Delete the App Engine Service account

This will freeze all App Engine related billing charges for the undeletable disabled App engine application. At least it worked for me :)
