cleanup.sh — Delete multiple GCP projects (and keep going)

This script deletes a list of Google Cloud projects and continues on errors.
It retries transient failures with exponential backoff and logs results to files.

What it does

• Iterates over a hardcoded projects=(...) list
• Runs gcloud projects delete <PROJECT_ID> --quiet
• Retries up to $RETRIES times with backoff $BACKOFF_BASE
• Skips non-retriable errors (e.g., PERMISSION_DENIED, NOT_FOUND)
• Writes:
  • deleted_projects.txt — successfully deleted project IDs
  • failed_projects.txt — failed/skipped IDs with error messages

Prerequisites

• Google Cloud SDK (gcloud) installed and authenticated:

  gcloud auth login
  gcloud auth list
