Seems like Google services are increasingly harder to manage. Now i want to delete a project ID that was previously created in another test account.

Assuming that I could recreate it in another account. The main reason for this is that the Google+ app is connected/created in this test account and the email address will be shown when someone is confronted with the login credentials.

Google says that this is possible (https://developers.google.com/console/help/):

Deleting a project

Deleting a project from the Console releases all resources used within the project itself. Please note that in order to delete a project, you must first disable billing on the project. Additionally, please note that the time it takes to delete a project may vary based on the number or kind of services in use within the project.

When I go to billing, it shows that no billing profile has been set up.

The delete button is right there where the help page says it is.

To shut down a project using the Cloud Platform Console:

  • Open the Settings page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.

  • Click Select a project.

  • Select a project you wish to delete, and click Open.
  • Click Shut down.
  • Enter the Project ID and click Shut down.

Please note that there is a 7-day grace period before the project is actually purged from the system. Which means you won't be able to immediately create another project with the same name.
