Google Threatens to Delete Inactive Accounts After Two Years

Almost a year ago, Google implemented a new policy regarding account inactivity, notifying users of potential deletion risks. The policy defines inactivity as an account that has not been used for two years, prompting Google to reserve the right to delete such accounts, including all associated data. Inactive accounts are viewed as a security risk, as they are more likely to be compromised due to a lack of recent activity and security checks. Users with personal accounts are affected, while business and educational accounts remain safeguarded from these deletions. Consequently, it is prudent for users to regularly check their account activities to avoid losing important data.
