    Save you a click:

    “If a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar) and Google Photos.”

      I read a variation of this news in the past where there was some major controversy about Google accounts that have active YouTube channels with videos uploaded to it. The solution is that Google would not delete inactive accounts if they have uploaded YouTube videos on it. I just don’t know of this policy still stands or if they changed their minds.

        There are videos I still visit and were uploaded more than 10 years ago. It would be a shame losing them all, pieces of internet history instantly gone.

        If someone has a link to where this policy is/was, then we can validate whether this is still in place or was a “pinky promise” not to before swiftly undoing said promise.
