Cannot delete Agent Builder data store

[bretthoshaw]

Trying to delete the last remaining data store in my vertex ai deployment (this was a POC) but I am unable to delete it.  It prompts me to type the data store name and no matter what you put it fails to recognize it is correct and I am unable to delete it.

1. I tried typing it in manually.
2. I tried copying and pasting it directly from the pop-up.
3. I tried copying and pasting it directly from the error message itself.

Seems pretty clear this is a backend issue, but I am unable to open a support ticket because we have "basic" support. Thanks in advance.

Hi @bretthoshaw,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Since you're unable to delete a data store in Vertex AI despite trying various methods, it’s likely a backend issue. Since your support plan doesn’t allow you to open a ticket, here are a few things to try:

• Retry Later: Sometimes, transient backend issues resolve themselves. Try again later, perhaps at a different time of day.
• Try Different Browser/Incognito Mode: A browser caching issue could interfere with the interaction. Try a different browser or use incognito mode to see if that makes a difference.
• CLI or gcloud Command: Sometimes, the web interface has issues, and using the gcloud command line tool can bypass such issues. You can try running the following command to delete the data store: 

gcloud ai datastores delete DATASTORE_NAME --region=REGION

Replace DATASTORE_NAME and REGION with the correct values. If you don't know the region, you can find that by checking your resources in the console. You can also check this document. 

• Check for Associated Resources: Though you mentioned it's the last data store, double check if there are any related resources (like apps or models) still linked to it. The platform might prevent deletion if dependencies exist.

If none of these solutions work and considering the limitations of your support plan, your best option may be to reach out to Google Cloud support for additional help.
