# [Changing Firestore: Datastore to Native Mode | GSuite Solved](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/firestore-change-to-native-mode-4162)

I have a project I use from long time and I can't create a new one. I have two questions

1. Currently Firestore is in datastore mode. I want it in Native mode? I can't see any options to do that. how do I achieve that ?
2. I also have a app engine in central region and I want to switch it to a different region. I don't use that any more? How can I delete the app engine to that I can change regions eventually?
