Google said that it will not delete all eligible accounts at once, but will delete them in stages. Google will take the lead in deleting accounts that have never been used before starting to delete dormant accounts that have not been active in the past two years.

Once the user's Google account is deleted, the Gmail email, documents / worksheets / slides, Google Drive, calendar, contacts and other data in the user's account will also be deleted, and unless the user uploads the video in the YouTube account, the user's YouTube profile will also disappear.

CTOnews.com also found that Google says users can do the following to ensure that their accounts are in the "active phase":

Read or send email

Use Google Drive

Watch YouTube videos

Share a photo
