OnSeptember 15, 2026, all Cloud Composer 1 versions and versions 2.0.x of Cloud Composer 2 willreach their planned end of life. You will not be able to use environments with these versions. We recommend planningmigration to Cloud Composer 3. Cloud Composer 2 versions 2.1.x and later are still supported and are not impacted by this change.

This happens automatically during the environment deletion. If you delete the cluster before the environment, then attempting to delete your environment results in an error. To fix this problem, see [Troubleshooting](/composer/docs/composer-1/known-issues#deleted-cluster).\n\nDelete a Cloud Composer environment \n\nConsole\n\n1. Delete the Cloud Composer environment:\n\n 1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Environments** page.\n\n [Go to Environments](https://console.cloud.google.com/composer/environments)\n 2. Select your environment and click **Delete**.\n\n 3. Wait until the environment is deleted.\n\n2. Delete your environment's bucket. Cloud Composer\n does not delete the environment's bucket automatically.\n\n | **Warning:** Deleting your environment's bucket deletes all objects stored within the bucket, such as DAGs and plugins. You might not be able to recover these objects, depending on the [bucket's settings](/storage/docs/soft-delete) and the length of time since the bucket was deleted.\n 1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Storage** \\\u003e\n **Browser** page.\n\n [Go to Storage \\\u003e Browser](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser)\n 2. Select the environment's bucket and click **Delete** . For example, this\n bucket can be named `us-central1-example-environ-c1616fe8-bucket`.\n\ngcloud\n\n1. Delete the Cloud Composer environment:\n\n gcloud composer environments delete \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eENVIRONMENT_NAME\u003c/var\u003e \\\n --location \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eLOCATION\u003c/var\u003e\n\n Replace:\n - `ENVIRONMENT_NAME` with the name of the environment.\n - `LOCATION` with the region where the environment is located.\n2. Delete your environment's bucket. Cloud Composer\n does not delete the environment's bucket automatically.\n\n **Warning:** Deleting your environment's bucket deletes all objects stored within the bucket, such as DAGs and plugins. You might not be able to recover these objects, depending on the [bucket's settings](/storage/docs/soft-delete) and the length of time since the bucket was deleted. \n\n gcloud storage rm gs://\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eBUCKET_NAME\u003c/var\u003e --recursive\n\n Replace:\n - `BUCKET_NAME` with the name of your environment's bucket. For example, this bucket can be named `us-central1-example-environ-c1616fe8-bucket`.\n\nAPI\n\nTo delete an environment, construct an [`environments.delete`](/composer/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.environments/delete)\nAPI request with the environment ID.\n| **Caution:** Cloud Composer doesn't automatically delete the environment's bucket. If it's no longer needed, delete it manually.\n\nTerraform\n\nTo delete an environment using Terraform, remove the\nCloud Composer configuration from your overall resource\nconfiguration and run `terraform apply`.\n| **Caution:** Cloud Composer does not automatically delete the environment's bucket. If it's no longer needed, delete it manually.\n\nWhat's next\n\n- [Create environments](/composer/docs/composer-1/create-environments)\n- [Enable and disable Cloud Composer service](/composer/docs/composer-1/enable-composer-service)"]]
