Hello @thomasbaulch1,

Thank you for contacting Google Cloud Community.

Please check for any active projects available in the folders you are trying to delete. you can validate the same using the command: gcloud projects list --filter='parent.id=**********. I request you delete this Project first using the command: gcloud projects delete project_id  and then try deleting the Folder, please refer to document [1 & 2] for more information.

If you delete your Google Workspace account, it will delete your organization resource and all resources associated with it. Therefore, if you want to delete your organization resource, you can do so by deleting your Google Workspace account. For Cloud Identity users, cancel all other Google services, then delete your Google account. This is potentially a very damaging action that might be impossible to fully reverse, so it is recommended to only take this action if you are certain there are no resources in active use.

Cancel your subscription & delete your Google Workspace account by following the below steps :

1. Export any Google Workspace user data that you want to save.
2. Delete any Google Workspace Marketplace apps you purchased.
3. Delete domains that you don't want to keep.
4. Share domains that you want to keep with your @gmail.com Google Account.
5. Sign in to Google Domains.
6. Click the name of your domain.
7. Open the Menu .
8. Click Email > Manage Subscription.
   • If you don’t find this option, make sure you’re logged into your Google Workspace account.
9. Under "Cancel subscription," click Cancel.
10. To finish cancellation, click Cancel my subscription.
    • You'll be prompted to sign in to Google Workspace and delete your account.

Google begins deleting your Google Workspace data 51 days after you cancel your subscription. It’s important to note that:

• When your domain expires, your Google Workspace subscription also expires. 
• After you cancel your subscription, you may receive an email from Google Workspace prompting you to set up billing. You don’t have to take any action and Google doesn’t charge you. 
• You can’t use your domain with another Google Workspace  account. If you want to use your domain with another Google Workspace account, cancel your custom email with Google Workspace subscription. Then cancel your subscriptions and delete your organization’s Google Account.

Workaround: 

Before deleting a Google Workspace account, the super admin must first delete all associated Google Cloud projects and folders. If you want to find resources associated with your Cloud organization, go to Google Cloud. The super admin will need the Organization Administrator, Folder Admin and Project Deleter Role to modify project and folder resources.

If your Cloud organization has Apps Script Projects, you need to delete them along with other Cloud projects before you can delete the Google Workspace account. For details, see Get a list of Apps Script Google Cloud projects

If your Cloud organization has Access Context Manager policies defined, you need to also delete them before you can delete the Google Workspace account.

If you would like a programmatic way to interact with your Organization’s resources, see this script found in our open source Github repository.

I hope the above information is helpful 🙂

Thanks & Regards,
