Google to Delete Inactive Accounts: What You Need to Know

Google will begin deleting inactive accounts as early as Friday, as part of its update to inactive account policies. Inactive accounts are more likely to be compromised due to outdated passwords and lack of security measures. An account is considered inactive if it hasn't been accessed across Google's products in two years. Google will be taking a phased approach, starting with accounts that were created and never used again. Personal accounts will be deleted, while accounts linked to organizations will be unaffected. Users are advised to log in to their accounts to prevent deletion.
