Google to Delete Inactive Gmail Accounts Next Month

Google will delete millions of Gmail accounts in December due to inactivity and potential security risks. Forgotten or unused accounts are often vulnerable to hacking and can be used for malicious activities. To keep accounts active, users need to sign in at least once every two years and take steps to secure their data, such as enabling two-step verification and creating a backup plan. Google will send multiple notifications before deleting any accounts, and the deletion process will start with accounts that were created but never used.
