I am trying to remove/delete a static IP address that I do not use any more and do not see a way to do this. The closest I could get from documentation is this page which says:

- Removing or setting a new static IP
P.S. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If anyone would like to take a quick glimpse on how to do this here is a short video on how and why it's a good practice to release the IP if not in use. Hope that helps.
Per the Google Cloud networking docs:
Release a static external IP address
gcloud compute addresses delete ADDRESS --project PROJECT --region REGION
