Is it safe to use your cell phone during thunder storms?
As we mentioned earlier, Google will start deleting accounts that haven't been used for more than two years. This includes accounts that were created but never activated or used on any Google services. If you have a Gmail or Google account that you've stopped using, now is the time to decide whether you want to keep it or allow it to be deleted.
In May, Google announced that inactive accounts would be removed after a period of two years of non-use. As the deadline approaches, the company is preparing to carry out this cleaning. If you're not sure whether your account is inactive, check your email. Google may have sent you a notification about your account's inactive status.
To avoid deleting your account, simply use any Google service before the end of November. Accessing YouTube, checking emails on Gmail, or using Google Drive are valid ways to keep your account active. Remember to use your account at least once before reaching 24 months of inactivity to prevent deletion.
The accounts that are at the top of the list for removal are those that have never been used since their creation. These accounts are considered more vulnerable to cyber attacks, which increases the risk of them being used for fraud and scams.
If you do not wish to keep your account inactive, you do not need to do anything; Google will delete it for you after the period of inactivity. However, if this warning has served as a reminder and you prefer to delete your Google account on your own, now is a good opportunity to do so deliberately.
