Delete a blockchain node

This page describes how to delete a Blockchain Node Engine node using the console or an API call.

Note: While the blockchain node is being deleted, the response to the ListBlockchainNode command continues to display the node, but shows its state as DELETING.

Using the console

To delete a node using the console:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Blockchain Node Engine page.

   Go to Blockchain Node Engine

The Nodes list page is displayed by default.



2. Click More > Delete next to the intended node.

3. Type the node name in the confirmation dialog and then click Delete node.

Using an API

To delete a blockchain node using DeleteBlockchainNode, send the following request:

curl -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
https://blockchainnodeengine.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/\
locations/LOCATION/blockchainNodes/NODE_NAME

Where:

• PROJECT_ID is your Google Cloud project ID. For example, my-project-id.
• LOCATION is the location in which your resources are hosted. For example, us-central1.
• NODE_NAME is the name of the node you created in Create a blockchain node. For example, my-node.

Here is a sample response to the above command:
