The official statement from google:

“During the initial deployment of a Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) Private Cloud for the customer using an internal tool, there was an inadvertent misconfiguration of the GCVE service by Google operators due to leaving a parameter blank. This had the unintended and then unknown consequence of defaulting the customer’s GCVE Private Cloud to a fixed term, with automatic deletion at the end of that period.”

Are you saying that Google lied about being responsible for it? What would they possibly gain from that?

The original news article says Google deleted the account. As per your quote and official statement - no account has been deleted.

So that news article is completely false. Point proven.

The difference between deleting an account and deleting everything in the account is semantics.
