ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.delete) Could not fetch resource: The resource not found

I would like to delete a secondary VM, spun up from the master VM already deleted, on Google Cloud Console. I tried several times from the console, anyway, by reloading the page, I can see it again loading.

From the console, it is NOT possible to:

Start--> You can't start this VM instance because it's not stopped
Stop--> You can't stop this VM instance because it's not running,
suspended or being repaired.
Suspend--> You can't suspend this VM instance because it's not running.
Reset--> You can't reset this VM instance because it's not running.

I tried also to delete the browser cache, and from another browser, with the same issue persisting.

I also tried typing on the Cloud Shell Terminal:

gcloud --quiet compute instances delete projects/PROJECT-NAME/zones/europe-west4-b/instances/nf-f29c7405-169839-353a2991-c482-4fbb0-group0-0-0m4g

But still, I get the error:

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.delete) Could not fetch resource:
 - The resource 'projects/PROJECT-NAME/zones/europe-west4-b/instances/nf-f29c7405-169839-353a2991-c482-4fbb0-group0-0-0m4g' was not found

Has anyone else experienced the same error?

Solution

You need to use the --zone parameter in your command.

gcloud compute instances delete instance_name --zone=europe-west4-b
