Consumers who have Google accounts that haven’t been used in a while may have received emails from Google telling them their accounts will be purged if they don’t sign in to them soon to keep them alive. While those emails may look like phishing attempts, they may be real emails from Google. The Sun reports:
If you haven’t used or signed in to your Google account for at least two years then it’s eligible for deletion.
Once the account is gone, you’ll lose all access to its content.
That includes files and images saved in Drive or Photos, events in your Google Calendar, and the emails inside Gmail.
Google’s policy to delete old inactive accounts is already active.
