Google will soon enforce a new rule requiring users to erase dormant accounts that have not been used or accessed for at least two years.

In a shocking development, Google has announced its plans to delete numerous Gmail and YouTube accounts that have not undergone a crucial verification process. The company has taken this step as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance user security and combat fraudulent activities on its platforms.


If users fail to comply with the necessary actions, their accounts could face imminent deletion, resulting in the potential loss of data and access to these popular services. Google has been an integral part of the landscape for decades, offering a range of services to billions of users worldwide.


In an effort to prioritize user security and lessen the dangers connected with holding on to dormant accounts, Google has implemented a new policy. Google mentioned the new policy’s beginning date of December 2023 in one of the blog postings.


Starting eight months beforehand, the business will send out warning emails to users whose accounts are in danger of being deleted. Notably, the deletion will also affect every piece of material kept in the dormant accounts, including Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar, YouTube, and Google Photos.


To avoid losing their accounts, Google users are strongly encouraged to act swiftly and complete the necessary verification as soon as possible. The company has assured that the verification process is secure and that user data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and privacy.


If you have a Google account that has not been used for several months, you may keep it from being deleted while Google will be sending reminder letters to people to reactivate their accounts. Log into the account you haven’t used in around two years, first and foremost.
