Delete connections

When you delete a Cross-Cloud Interconnect connection, Google shuts down your ports, and billing stops immediately.

You must also notify your remote cloud service provider to discontinue your port in their network and avoid further billing.

Before you can delete a connection, you must delete all of its attachments.
