Google to remove photos from inactive accounts

Google recently shared an update regarding its policies on inactive accounts, announcing it will remove photos from inactive accounts from December 2023 onwards. (An “inactive account” is any account that hasn’t been accessed for two years.)

After July 19, 2023, the Google Album Archive will not be available any longer. After Google retired Picasa in 2016, all your content from there was moved to Google Archive. But now that’s being canceled too, and users will need to download their data before July 19. Google says it may also delete accounts and data from Google Workspaces, Gmail Docs, Drive, Meet, and Calendar.
