Google can now delete accounts that have been unused for 2 years
Google Blog

Google has announced that from December 2023, they may delete inactive accounts that haven't been used for 2 years, including content in Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar, YouTube and Google Photos.

Abandoned accounts are 10x less likely to have 2FA enabled, which can make them more vulnerable to identity theft. (so the best way to combat this is to remove your access to all of your accounts and email, right?)

This will only affect personal Google accounts, and not organizations like businesses or schools.

To keep your account active, you'll need to do one of either:
• have any subscription including Google One
• read/send an email
• use Google Drive/Search
• watch a YouTube video
• download an app from the Play Store
• sign in using Google for a third party app
• sign in to Google Photos

Google will send multiple notifications to your emails (including the recovery) before removing any content.
