Internet world cleaning: Google deletes unused accounts!

Google has made improvements to its inactive account policy. With these innovations, it announced that it will start deleting accounts that have been inactive for 2 years. 2 years is actually a short time. Although some YouTube users have not posted content on their channels for 2 years, they state that they shared many videos in the previous period, so their accounts should not be deleted. Here are the details about Google and its policy to delete inactive accounts…

Accounts that are inactive for 2 years will be deleted!

First of all, let’s talk about what exactly is deleting an account. First of all, it contains data from many platforms in a Google account. For example Gmail, Docs, Drive, YouTube, Google Photos data. In other words, if your Google account is inactive for 2 years, all data linked to this account will be deleted.

We can better explain the seriousness of the issue with an example. For example, you had a Google account that you used during your university years. This account is mostly used for school related emails etc. You used to add your old university photos thanks to Google Photos. This account now has a moral value for you and you do not close it for the data in it. However, since you haven’t used this account for 2 years, Google will delete it along with everything in it.

Another side of the issue is YouTube. Especially old YouTubers complain about this. Because some old YouTubers – we call them retired YouTubers – haven’t used their channels for more than 2 years. But they produced a lot of content before. And these contents are in these channels for the purpose of memory, memory or just to store. It is not known whether Google will delete these channels or give a privilege to such channels.

Finally, this decision may have been taken to clean the bottom of the internet. Because the internet world has developed and grown in the last 20 years. Of course, this growth brought many users. Especially today, content is something that is consumed much faster than before. With the short videos of YouTube Shorts, which entered our lives with TikTok, it became easier to produce content than before. This meant a constant stream of content, and new things were constantly uploaded to the internet.

Of course, not all of the constant uploads were logical and good content. Some were just momentary trends, some were really bullshit. For this reason, Google may want to clean up the content. In this, he chose inactive accounts as the shortest way. Thus, it will be able to clean on many platforms at once.

So how is it prevented?

If you don’t want Google to delete your account, it’s very simple. Open your Google account on any device and do a few things. Like YouTube video vs. like. Thus, your account will be activated and will not be deleted.
