Google's Account Cleanup: Protecting Your Gmail and YouTube Accounts
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge
Google is set to delete accounts that haven't been accessed in two years, prompting users to check for forgotten accounts that may contain valuable content. Users can use Google's "find your email" page to locate any forgotten Google accounts associated with their email addresses or phone numbers used as recovery info. By verifying their identity and changing the password, users can access and potentially save any valuable data before the accounts are deleted. It is recommended to regularly check and update recovery information for Google accounts to ensure access and prevent data loss.
