Google to Delete Inactive Accounts for Security Reasons.

Google plans to delete accounts that have been inactive for two years starting in December 2020, as part of its efforts to strengthen security measures for its vast user base. The new inactivity policy will not affect business accounts and those used by schools. Google will send multiple notifications before deleting an account and will remove content stored in Google Workspace, YouTube, and Google Photos. The move is aimed at addressing security concerns arising from dormant accounts, which are often vulnerable to identity theft and malicious content.
