To avoid getting caught, you must follow a few simple steps.
Starting from December 2023, Google will start deleting Gmail accounts that have not been used for 2 years. The company will notify these users so that they can leave the account if they need to. As a rule, simply logging in will be enough to register your account.
Google's intention to delete inactive accounts became clear six months ago. The measure is for those who actively use Gmail, as well as for “Documents”, “Photos”, “Calendar”, etc. It is worth noting that it will not affect the services.
Google will delete all information from other services in addition to Gmail accounts. According to the company, the removal of inactive accounts will be done for security reasons, as old and inactive accounts are often the target of scammers: these accounts often contain old or reused passwords that can be easily compromised, and attackers take advantage of this.
