I am trying to remove/delete a static IP address that I do not use any more and do not see a way to do this. The closest I could get from documentation is this page which says:
When an instance is stopped, you can still perform actions that can affect the stopped instance, such as:
- [...]
- Removing or setting a new static IP
P.S. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If anyone would like to take a quick glimpse on how to do this here is a short video on how and why it's a good practice to release the IP if not in use. Hope that helps.
Go to "Start > Run" and type " cmd " (no quotes), then select "OK" Type " ipconfig /release " (no quotes) and press "Enter" Once the prompt returns, type " ipconfig /renew " (no quotes), then hit "Enter," Finally, type " exit " (without quotes) then press "Enter" to close the window.
On Windows 11, it's possible to remove a static IP address and switch to a dynamic network configuration in multiple ways, including using the Settings app, Control Panel, Command Prompt, and PowerShell.
Per the Google Cloud networking docs:
Release a static external IP address
gcloud compute addresses delete ADDRESS --project PROJECT --region REGION
You can also do it via the Web interface. In left menu, go to "Networking", then "External IP Addresses".
You can manage your current projects IP's from there.
