@Cloud Platform Support: Nearly four years later, this is still a (dumb) issue. I searched the issue backlog <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:187065%20status:open%20default> a few different ways, but didn't see a post from @Ashton Holmes, nor a backlog issue that matched this description.
*Desired behavior*: GCP App Engine is the analog to Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). When deploying an app to PCF, I can both *stop *and *delete *that app, down to zero apps. I'd like the same for GCP App Engine. *Current behavior*: Once a default app is deployed to GCP App Engine, you can't delete it. You can turn it off and deploy an app with no code, but you can't delete it. The workaround as outlined above is silly. The "delete your whole project and lose all your other work" (!) solution in the Quickstart doc <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/quickstart> is extreme. This feels like a dishonest, ever-so-small-yet-cumulatively-large billing entrapment, where GCP relies upon the lack of a developer's fastidiousness to earn a few bucks. I don't like feeling suckered by a tutorial.
