Steps to Delete GCP Storage Bucket from Console

A Google Cloud Storage bucket is a vital part of GCP that stores data in the cloud. Buckets are logical containers that can hold a variety of files, photos, videos, and projects. When creating a GCP bucket, we must define its name, storage capacity, access permissions, location, and storage type.

Each bucket in GCP has a unique name and may store an endless quantity of data. We can use buckets to organize data and control access to items within them. The steps to delete GCP storage bucket from console is as follows:

1. Initially, go to the Google Cloud Console and click the ‘Cloud Storage’ tab.

2. Then, click on ‘List Buckets’ to see a list of all the cloud storage buckets.

3. Now, select the bucket we wish to delete.

4. Lastly, press ‘Delete Bucket’ to confirm we wish to delete the bucket.

Best Practices to Follow during Deletion

1. Buckets must be empty to be deleted. All objects in the bucket must be erased first.

2. Lifecycle management make it possible to remove items after a given age. This will empty the bucket, making it suitable for deletion.

3. Removing a bucket is an irreversible action. Before starting, make sure to back up important data.
