Google will start deleting old accounts today

Google has started the process of deleting inactive Gmail accounts. Google is closing accounts that haven't been used or signed in for at least two years. With this you will not be able to access old emails, Google Drive, Google Docs and photos.

The company announced the move in May as part of an effort to protect users from security threats. Google says that forgotten accounts often rely on old or reused passwords that can be tampered with, increasing the likelihood of spam. Users are required to sign into their email account once every two years to prevent Gmail accounts from being closed.

Google says this policy only applies to personal accounts, not to organizations like schools or businesses. Accounts with YouTube videos are also exempt from this.
