Google is to start deleting certain personal Google accounts on December 1, 2023. This purge will include: Gmail messages, Google Photos libraries, Google Calendar appointments, and Google Docs archives.
In July, Google sent emails warning that these account deletions would start in December. Those emails stated that any account that is considered to be inactive will receive "several reminder emails" before any action is taken.
Notification emails will also be sent to any recovery email address on record. The first accounts to be targeted in December will be those that were created but never actually used again since.
This purge, undertaken for security reasons according to Google, only applies to inactive personal accounts, or users who have not signed into their Google accounts for at least two years.
If you have read or sent an email using Gmail, stored something in Google Drive, downloaded an app from the Google Play Store, added a photo to Google Photos, or even performed a Google search while logged into your Google account, your content is safe. Google business accounts are not affected.
