View, update, and delete folders

Console

1. In the Cloud de Confiance console, open the Manage resources page.

   Open Manage resources page

2. The resource list displays your hierarchy as a table. Select your organization resource.

3. Click the arrow next to the organization name to expand the tree view and see its child folders.

4. To perform actions, such as moving, deleting, or viewing settings, click the more_vertActions at the end of the row for that specific resource.

5. Use the Filter bar at the top of the resource list to search for resources by name, ID, or label.

For information about how the Manage resources page calculates the Last accessed timestamp for folders and projects, see Understand the Last accessed timestamp.

Using the project picker

The project picker is located in the navigation bar and isn't part of the main Resource Manager page interface. Use it to switch your active global context to a specific project or folder.

1. Click the project picker. In the dialog that appears, select your organization from the drop-down to filter the results.

2. Browse the hierarchy or search for the project or folder you want to switch to. Clicking a resource in this picker changes your global context, affecting which resources are visible in other service pages (like Compute Engine or Cloud Storage).
