./scripts/sandbox/Linux/rollback.sh --cloud gcp
./scripts/sandbox/Linux/rollback.sh --cloud all -y      # all three, skip prompts

What rollback does:

Azure rollback uses az group delete --no-wait (cascade) — the entire RG goes away in one call. AWS and GCP delete resource-by-resource.

For GCP, a single run tears down the shared VPC across all regions: it discovers every region that still has a subnet or router on the VPC and removes each region's subnets/router/NAT, releases orphaned Cloud Run serverless egress IPs, removes the PSA range + servicenetworking peering, and sweeps any leftover VPC firewall rules before deleting the global VPC. Like the running-VM guard, it also refuses if a live Rancher management node or an active GKE↔sandbox-VPC peering is still attached — decommission those via the dashboard first.

For Azure the whole resource group goes in one call, which cascades everything in it — so that arm refuses while a managed Portainer/Rancher node VM, or an orphaned node data disk, is still present. A data disk is meant to outlive its VM, so it can be the only thing left, and cascading over it would destroy the node's only copy of its users, environments and settings. Tear the node down via the dashboard (which asks about the disk separately) first.

Service principals (Azure) and service accounts (GCP) are also deleted. The AWS ecsTaskExecutionRole is only deleted if it was tagged by us; an existing role created outside the sandbox is preserved.
