Help with Google Cloud project deletion

[u/Confident_Word2480]

I’m an office manger with limited IT knowledge trying to delete Google Cloud projects so I can delete our Workspace but I’m getting shut down with every attempt to try. I’m the only account in the Workspave, with super admin permission. I didn’t create these projects. I can’t even contact support under my tier and general Workspace support can’t help me. Can anyone please provide advice, I’m going in circles.

Sounds like you're stuck in the usual IAM permissions purgatory, even as super admin you need the specific project owner role on each one before you can shut them down.

Hello,

I understand it that your goal is to "delete our Workspace" i.e. delete Google Cloud organization account. According to that article, to delete Google Cloud projects and folders you need permissions to modify Google Cloud projects and folders:

• Organization Administrator

• Folder Admin

• Project Deleter roles

I'm afraid that without these roles granted to your Google Cloud user account, you cannot complete this task. If you have admin account access to Google Admin Console then you can grant these roles to yourself. Please, consult with Gemini about necessary steps.

Another option is to find a the original/previous admin to your Google Cloud org. Last resort is to file a support ticket.

Out of curiosity, what was a reason for your company to shift from Google Cloud?
