If you have an account Googling that you have not used for a few years, be careful. Google will remove inactive accounts from its platform this Friday, December 1because the company claims it spends too many resources and space in the cloud to maintain it.

Any accounts that have not been logged in for two years will be deleted from Google along with all their content. It is to say, If you have synced emails, photos, documents, or calendars with that account, you will lose everything when your account is deleted.

Google is investigating an issue in Drive that is automatically deleting files from the cloud

When Google detects that there has been activity on the account, it will no longer be part of the list of accounts to delete, saving all your important information.

If you just want to recover your photos and files but you don’t need the account anymore, you can do that download the website or application data from any of the Google portals. You just need to have enough space on your computer or smartphone and start downloading.

That way, the next time Google deletes inactive accounts, you won’t have to worry about anything.
