"Google's Account Purge: How to Safeguard Your Data and Photos on Gmail"

Google will begin enforcing its updated inactive account policy on December 1st, which will result in the deletion of accounts that have been inactive for two years. This policy applies to personal Google Accounts and includes content within Google Workspace. The deletion process will start with accounts that were created but never used. To keep your account active, simply sign in at least once every two years and engage in various activities such as reading or sending emails, using Google Drive, watching YouTube videos, or using Google Search. Additionally, signing in to Google Photos every two years is necessary to prevent the deletion of your photos and other content.
