Hello @ekowreel  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Once you release external static IP, you are not able to recover it by default ( in fact you are not able to provide or choose IP address).

However, when EXTERNAL has been released, there is a chance that IP might be the same. As per : "

After the IP address is released, you might not be able to reserve the same static IPv4 or IPv6 address because some other user might have already reserved it." / https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/reserve-static-external-ip-address#release_ip

So there is a chance to get the same EXTERNAL IP ADDRESS, however there is no direct way to recover such IP.
