GCP SLQ instance wont stop ,restart, or delete

Resolved! I was able to get through to Google tech support and after hours of screen sharing, had the ticket escalated. sadly the only way they could get me past it was to delete the instance. level 1 tech support could not do this, so I had to wait for the ticket to move up. Once the instance was deleted, I could create a new one and move on. Sadly there was no easy fix that retained the instance, so data was lost. Good thing it was just class exercise and not real business. (also why there wasnt a backup). No explanation given by tech support, so nothing valuable learned here. sorry
