oh look there’s no easy “delete just my google compute account” button.

I've had conversations with Google employees about this problem. I know you're speaking about your situation with essentially a homelab, but for business customers its more complicated than it seems on the surface. Many customers aren't savvy enough to understand "just delete anything that is generating a bill" also means all of your data stored on Persistent Disk or in GCS.
