Suppose I have only 1 project left in my quota. If I delete an existing project, will it make it 2 projects in my quota?

If you are left with fewer projects in your Quota, a notification will be displayed showing of projects you are left with to do in your Quota Page. If you have reached the Limit, either you can request for Quota increase or you can delete a project.

According to your concern , if you are left with only 1 project in your quota and if you delete the existing project , it will not immediately make 2 projects in your quota.

Reason is : when we delete or shutdown a project it has a LifeCycle and it stays for 30 days. After 30 days it gets deleted completely.Until it is deleted, the project counts towards your project quota. so basically if you delete your existing project it will not make 2 projects in your quota until the project has got deleted completely.
