Delete a Google Dedicated Interconnect

To delete the connection from the PacketFabric side, it must be on a month-to-month contract and/or was provisioned with the last 24 hours.

After 24 hours, if you selected a longer service term when creating the connection, you must wait for the term to expire. When your service term ends, you can elect to enter a new one. Otherwise, you are automatically shifted to a month-to-month contract (allowing you to delete the connection).
