"Google's Massive Purge: Millions of Gmail Accounts Set for Deletion"

Google will begin deleting millions of inactive Gmail, Drive, and Photo accounts next month as part of a security measure to protect compromised accounts. Accounts that have been inactive for two years will be deleted, including contents within Google Workspace. To keep an account active, users must 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.
