I was trying to install tectonic on a coreos image in Google Compute Engine. It didn't work out well & I made some configuration mistakes so I tried to delete the VM but now it keeps on creating these instances -
Here are the operations log i found in the google cloud compute admin panel -
which suggests that they are in some kind of a target pool which is recreating these instances on deletion.
Can anyone tell how to fix this & permanently delete all the instances.
We have discussed this issue at this thread, and it seems you have been using a managed instance group with autoscaler and load balancer enabled. The autoscaler is setup to recreate the instances as per the configurations.
In order to delete the entire instance group, you have to delete all resources that are using it first, such as the load balancer, backend services, etc.
