Google Inactive Accounts to Be Deleted: How to...
In a recent announcement from Google, starting from December 1, 2023, Google will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for at least two years. This means that if you do not log in to your Google account during this period, all related data, including emails, documents, photos, videos, browsing history, etc., will be permanently erased.
This move by Google aims to mitigate security risks associated with inactive accounts. Accounts that remain inactive for extended periods are often not updated with passwords and additional security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA), making them attractive targets for hackers.
