Resource purge
The Networking service provides a purge mechanism to delete the
following network resources for a project:
- Networks
- Subnets
- Ports
- Router interfaces
- Routers
- Floating IP addresses
- Security groups
Typically, one uses this mechanism to delete networking resources for
a defunct project regardless of its existence in the Identity
service.
Usage

project can delete resources for all other projects. A regular project
can delete its own network resources and those belonging to other
projects for which it has sufficient access. -
