Google is shaking things up by starting to delete inactive Gmail accounts and their content, including Photos and Docs. With 1.8 billion users, this move aims to clean up dormant accounts and boost security.
If you haven’t logged into your Gmail or used any Google services for over two years, your account might be at risk of deletion. Google’s goal is to reduce the chances of these old accounts being targeted by hackers and to streamline their services.
