Google Will Mass Delete Old Gmail And Photos Content Next Week::Google will start mass deleting inactive Photos and Gmail accounts on December 1st.
ACCOUNTS WITH TWO YEARS OF INACTIVITY
OKAY THANKS X
FYI it’s for inactive accounts, not your content from 10 years ago.
might need to check in on my 5+ alt accounts
I have 15. Is that excessive?
How did you phone verify them?
I still have gmail accounts from 15 years ago that were created by me but Google refuses to let me log into because it doesn’t believe im logging in from a known location. Guess they are getting deleted next week. I hate this company.
Cool. So the rest of us will get more space, right?
Right?
Click bait headline.
don’t care that it’s for inactive accounts, this is a disgusting purge of culture. spam email is one thing but imagine all the literal irreplaceable memories stored. don’t give a shit about their storage costs, it’s google. sort it the fuck out.
edit lol keep weeping for a trillion dollar company. i don’t use this garbage, i have no files i’m losing.
The EU is forcing them to do this as part of the GDPR. Google isn’t allowed to store personal data for longer than is required, and an account that’s been inactive for 2 years is very likely an account that will never be accessed again. Therefore, Google has no legitimate purpose to store that data, ergo they must delete it.
If you don’t care to login in two years, maybe the memories are not that irreplacable…
Your email account isn’t a backup store.
