error deleting TargetPool %s: %v

Error message

error deleting TargetPool %s: %v

What it means

deleteTargetPool wraps the Compute TargetPools.Delete failure during teardown. NotFound is treated as already-deleted; any other error (dependency still in use, permission) is wrapped here with the target pool self-link for identification.

Solutions

1. Ensure forwarding rules referencing the target pool are deleted first, then retry
2. Check compute.targetPools.delete permission
3. Inspect the wrapped error for dependency violations
