Have you logged into your Google account in a long time? Google may remove your account as part of an ongoing cleanup to protect the data of its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google announced plans to deactivate dormant accounts in a blog post in May, although data will not be deleted until December 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The internet giant from California is taking a gradual approach, beginning with Google accounts that were created and never used again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when Google ramps up its procedure in the coming days and weeks, it will erase images, videos, emails, and other data from a large number of older accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal information from Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Meet, Google Calendar, and Google Photos is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accounts that haven’t been accessed within the last two years will be earmarked for deletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, as long as you’ve signed into all of your Google and Gmail accounts since the beginning of last year, you won’t have to worry about data loss in the approaching purge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google has provided a list of measures that will prevent your account from being flagged for deletion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take any of the following typical acts, your account will not be deleted for the next two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it’s important to note that this is a permanent change to Google’s dormant account policy, not a one-time occurrence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, you’ll need to use your account on a regular basis or risk having it deleted again in a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suggested actions from Google to ensure your account remains active:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
