Delete connections

When you delete a Dedicated Interconnect connection, Google shuts down the ports on Google's routers, and billing stops immediately. You must notify your vendor to remove the Dedicated Interconnect connections from the unused ports on the Google demarcations.

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