Unable to Delete VPC

[Riddhesh Ganatra]

When I try to delete a VPC it keeps throwing below error :
The network resource 'projects/<project-id>/global/networks/<vpc-name>' is already being used by 'projects/<project-id>/global/networkInstances/v-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-......'

How do I find the above resource?

The SUBNETS, STATIC INTERNAL IP ADDRESSES, FIREWALL POLICIES, FIREWALL RULES, ROUTES, VPC NETWORK PEERING, PRIVATE SERVICE CONNECTION are all empty for the selected VPC

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Riddhesh,

I trust you are well.

Below is a work around:

1. There are resources in your project which are using the VPC, i.e Compute instances still running which are on the network you are trying to delete. Check the Compute instances section and first stop all running instances, then you can proceed to delete the VPC. Note once you delete the VPC you will be unable to start the instances hence you will be required to create a new VPC then add the instances initially de-allocated from the deleted VPC to the newly created VPC.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Hello,

Hope you are fine.

Another option that I can see:

1.- Try to check all your compute instances that still are running on the network you are trying to delete and identify them.

2.- Once you have localized the VM, try to create a new VPC network for this VM’s.

3.- On every VM you had identified on the step 01, Delete the network and associate with the new VPC network created.

4.- At this point, any VM will be not running on the network you are trying to delete.

5.- You should have the possibility to delete the VPC network that you were trying to delete.

Hope this information can help you.

Kind Regards,

Alejandro.
