title: Google Cloud Storage bucket disappeared from GCP project but still in use somehow
body: <p>I have had this problem for days, so I decided to post here hoping for a little help.I am not a GCP expert. :D
  So last year i created a static website for one of my friends. She bought a G Suite package for her business so i made a website, hosted on the google platform using Cloud Storage.
  I made a project in GCP, created a bucket in it which i named <a href="http://www.domainname.hu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.domainname.hu</a> (example name), uploaded the static website. In terms of DNS management i use Cloudflare. I have an A record with the root domain domainname.hu (again, example name) and a CNAME record named www pointing to c.storage.googleapis.com, along with some MX records. Everything worked fine.</p>
  <p>Some additional info:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>i picked default settings during bucket creation wizard</li>
  <li>i did not touch bucket lifecycle</li>
  <li>i made the bucket public for the internet by adding allUsers Storage Object Viewer permission</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Earlier this week we wanted to update the website with some new content, so i logged in into GCP.
  The project was empty, the bucket with the website in it disappeared.</p>
  <p>So i just need to create a new bucket with the same name and upload the website again right? Wrong  :DD</p>
  <p>When i tried to create a new one with the same name an error message came up : &quot; That bucket name is taken. Try another. &quot; Interesting...</p>
  <p>As far as i know your bucket name must match your domain name so google can point the requests to your bucket in the cloud. Obviously, the bucket name <a href="http://www.domainname.hu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.domainname.hu</a> that i created is in use somewhere in the cloud. Not by me, because it disappeared from my project. Now i can't make any updates to the website.</p>
  <p>So i'm confused, why did the bucket disappeared from my project?</p>
  <p>Why can't i create a new bucket with the same name?</p>
  <p>Why is the bucket name still in use after it disappeared from the project?</p>
  <p>Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance for any help or ideas.</p>
