"If a Google Account is not used or signed in for at least two years, the personal account and the content in the account will be deleted," Google announced.
Inactive accounts will be deleted in stages, starting with addresses that were created but never used.
The new policy adds that in addition to losing access to email addresses, other data including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, documents in the Workspace suite, and Google Photos backups will also be deleted.
Google currently has no plans to delete the YouTube channel associated with the account. This is because some channels or videos may be historical, used for reference or long-term storage.
To avoid having your Gmail account deleted, the simplest way is to immediately log in to your account today. This will remove your email from the list of accounts that have not been used for a long time and have not been deleted during this period.
Each Gmail account is provided with 15GB of free online storage by Google. In case you do not use Gmail service, you can still take advantage of this 15GB of storage to store important data, in case your computer hard drive is damaged and you lose the data stored on it.
