What is Google Cloud Project?
Google Cloud Project is a functional unit in the Cloud Console. A project is necessary to create for using services offered by the Google Cloud Platform. All the services like Virtual Machines, Databases, Storage Buckets, and all APIs for GCP services are configured under a project. A project can be created and deleted depending on its usage.

Once it has served its purpose you can remove items and delete the project.
