Google has issued a warning to customers that it would start deleting their accounts if they weren’t in use recently.
‘If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your account,’ said Google in an email this week.
The company has a policy of deleting inactive accounts after two years of inactivity. This means that if you don’t log in to your Google Account for two years, your account will be deleted and the associated Gmail address will no longer be available for use.
In May 2023, Google announced it would start deleting inactive accounts in December 2023.
