Starting today, Google is deleting unused accounts. Here's how to save your old accounts before you lose data.

Google is now deleting inactive accounts that haven't been used for two years or more to improve security and decrease maintenance costs.
To prevent your Google account from being deleted, you can take actions such as signing in, using Gmail or Google Drive, and watching YouTube videos.
If your account is identified as inactive, Google will send multiple messages before deletion, so it's essential to have a recovery email set up and regularly check your Gmail for notifications.
