Google to Begin Deleting Inactive Accounts This Week
Date: 2023-11-27 Author: Dima Zakharov Categories: TECHNOLOGY
Phased Deletion Process
The process will start with accounts that have been created but never used or accessed by the users themselves, as reported by CNN via Ukrinform.
Comprehensive Impact on Google Accounts
Google accounts encompass everything from Gmail to Documents, Drive, and Photos. Consequently, all inactive content within these accounts faces the risk of deletion. However, exceptions exist, including YouTube channel accounts, accounts holding balances on gift cards, those used for purchasing digital goods like books or movies, and active accounts on platforms such as Google Play where apps have been published.
Preserving Your Account
To retain your Google account, a simple step is required: logging into your Google account or any Google service at least once every two years.
Additional Chrome Browser Update
In related news, Google Chrome introduced a new feature that allows for quick monitoring of memory consumption for each open tab, as previously reported by Ukrinform.
