If you don’t want to lose your account Gmailthen pay very close attention to the details that we will explain below because Google has already admitted that it will be drastic with a new measure that it will implement in the coming days.
“A warned war does not kill a soldier,” would say the famous phrase that in this sense fits perfectly. The American multinational technology company made it official that all its Gmail accounts that do not meet a specific condition will be deleted, as part of a purge on the email platform.

It should be noted that in addition to the email service, the Docs, Photos and Calendar tools would also suffer the same fate, a practice that, although it may seem crazy, is very common in the digital scene to get inactive profiles out of the way to reduce some cybersecurity risks.
What you should know
By issuing a statement on its official website, the search engine company reported that it will begin to eliminate inactive accounts starting next December 2020, in short, in less than thirty days.
The measure indicates that those who want to keep their respective profiles active in Google services must be logged in. Those who have not done so for a long time will have to enter before next month. Otherwise, they will lose access to those environments and the data they housed in them.
“If a Google Account has not been used or signed in for at least 2 years, we can delete the account and its content, including content from Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar) and Google Photos . Before deleting an account, we will send several notifications during the previous months, both to the account email address and to the recovery email address (if one has been provided),” the North American company reported.
