google photos is one of the tools most used by Google account users to store your images or videos securely in a cloudwhich they can access from any device they log into.

This platform has several features that allow you to group images into an album, share photos with contacts without losing quality, create animations or collages from a selection of photos, and edit the image with filters and other parameters. However, Google only provides 15 GB of cloud storage for a user for free, that is between emails, Google Drive documents and photos.

Paying users have access to more storage depending on their plan.

How to prevent your Google account from being deleted for inactivity

Google users who store their images in Google Photos may notice that their photos have suddenly disappeared. This can be for two reasons: because your account has been inactive for more than two years, or because you have exceeded your storage space without paying.

While photos permanently deleted from Google cannot be recovered, the platform often sends email notifications letting you know that the photos will be removed. If this is the case with you, or if you want to avoid losing your photos, we give you the following tips.

How to delete your photos

To clean up Google Photos, you need to open the application from your mobile phone or tablet, or open the web page on your computer. Then you can search all the photos you have taken chronologically and delete them one by one. You can also touch and hold a photo and select more to delete at the same time as the trash can icon.

Be sure to empty the trash later.

If you want to speed up the process, you can write a day, a place or the name of a specific person in the search engine of the application to delete everything related to your search. For example, if you no longer need the photos from a trip you took on April 24, type the date in the search box and select all the photos taken on April 24 to delete them at once.
