šš¤ Gmail accounts that have not been used for a long time do not provide security for users' data, and since two-step verification has not been done, personal data in those mails can easily be stolen, said Ruth Critcheli, Vice President of Google Product Management.
ššļø Once account is deleted you cannot login again with that email id. That's why if you want to keep your rarely used account, log in every two years. Then Google keeps it active. So you can send or read emails, use Google Drive, search YouTube or watch videos and sign in with Google on other websites.
š”ļøš¼ Google states that accounts with YouTube activity like comments, channels, videos, or accounts with monetary balance will not be deleted. If you no longer use a Google Account, you can use the 'Google Takeout' service to download all data associated with it. Alternatively, you can use the Company's Inactive Account Manager to remind you if your account has been inactive for a certain period of time. š¼š
