How to delete logs from _Default Sink

I have started using google cloud recently, especially Vertex AI and the Gemini API. When I started, I also looked around at  some things like Colab Enterprise and Ray on Vertex AI, I had set up Ray to see what it was but forgot to turn it off. I understand that is my fault, but now I am being charged $10 an hour since it had generated 182.01GiB worth of logs in my _Default Sink

I have tried many ways to fix this, like running gcloud commands and even help from Gemini, but hours later I am still being billed, and the data is still there!

This was one of the commands I had ran in the Cloud Shell:

gcloud logging logs list --format="value(NAME)" | grep -v "cloudaudit.googleapis.com" | xargs -n1 gcloud logging logs delete --quiet

I have also added exclusions for the bucket to stop saving logs after I deleted all of them, and even disabled the sink.

I would love an answer before all of my credits are gone!
