How to remove Subscription from product list in developer console and what will be its effect on the old subscribed users?

Question

I want to remove the existing subscription product from product list.

How would I be able to perform so as I didn't found any option on my developer console to delete the subscriptions ?

Also if in any way possible it is allowed, then will it have any effect on the existing users who have purchased that subscription when they call for RESTORE_TRANSACTION from their app while communicating with Google Play ?

Since the introduction of the new subscription setup in May 2022 it is now at least possible to deactivate the base plan of the subscription making it unavailable to new users, the mess in the console remains as I created a bunch of test-subscriptions which I can't hide or get rid off. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/140504?hl=en#zippy=%2Cdeactivate-or-reactivate-a-base-plan

It seems you can also change price and move users over according to this
