RE: [Apps-Script] Created a side project and work and have been asked to delete it, but it won't delete

[cbmserv...@gmail.com]

I went through a transfer of project recently and here is what I learned that may help you.

 

• Deleting the folders and files from old account is not enough. Since you shared them to another account, they still exist and your old account is still owner so deleting them actually accomplished nothing except remove the links you may have had on your Drive to access them.

 

• What you need to do is after sharing them to another account, also make them owners of the files, then you can delete the files or remove your old account from sharing list (from the new account) to permanently remove them from old account.

 

• Software activations remain in place even though you no longer own the file.. (head scratcher, I know) So before you remove the old account from all files, make sure you delete any triggers that you may have created and archive any webapp deployments. This means you need to re-add the triggers or deployment from the new account after all this is done.

 

• Software usually also has file ids or folder ids that they use to access certain folders, files to run the software. Go through the software and delete all those ids that point to files on your old account, and you will have to replace them with equivalent ids on the new account side.

Hope this help.

Subject: [Apps-Script] Created a side project and work and have been asked to delete it, but it won't delete

 

Hello, I started a side project in Google App Script, but made the project on my work account. I had approval to do it, but have been asked to remove it from my work organization and use my personal account. We've been trying to figure out how to do this for days but every time I create a new project on my personal account, it re-creates it again on my work account. The code won't run either.

 

This is what I've done:

• Removed all shared folders related to the other project and shared them with my personal account
• Deleted the project in "My Projects" in on script.google.com/home
• Shut down the project on the Google Cloud Console
• Removed the folders associated with my work account at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

Regardless, every time I create any google app script file on my personal account, the project name is recreated in the "All Projects" folder at script.google.com/home at my work organization. How do I unlink the shared folder associated with my side project from my work account?

 

Also, I've copied and pasted the code to the shared file I'm working on (now shared only with my personal account and not my work account). I keep getting the error Service Spreadsheets failed while accessing document with id xxxxx

 

 Thank you
