In the Google Cloud console, go to the Experiments page. Go to Experiments
In the experiment details page, click the name of the experiment that
is associated with the experiment run you want to delete. The
Experiment runs
page appears with the list of all the experiment runs for that experiment.
Select the checkbox associated with the run that you want to delete.
The Delete button appears.
Click Delete
Alternatively, you can go to the
more_vert options
menu that's in the same row as the experiment run and select
delete.
