Google can delete millions of photos and other memories irretrievably.

This is the announcement that Google made earlier this year.

The account deletion or cleanup, which takes effect Dec. 1, will affect any account that hasn't been used for more than two years. According to the announcement, this move could affect parents who have set up email addresses for young children in order to share and mark milestones with them.

It can also affect people who continue to manage the online accounts of deceased relatives.

Google announced the policy in a blog post earlier this year, claiming the move is intended to protect active users from security threats such as phishing scams and account hijacking.

The mass shutdown will also free up significant amounts of server space, which will also save the American tech giant money and resources.

Google warned that the new policy applies to personal Google accounts, which include content within Google Photos and Google Workspace tools such as Docs, Drive, Gmail, Meet and Calendar.

Nicholas Worley, founder and chief executive of digital archiving platform Inalife, urged people to take action immediately to avoid losing access to accounts.

"If you have a Google account set up for your children and have been emailing them, or if you manage the account of a deceased loved one... Sign in, save or backup any important memories and stories," he wrote on LinkedIn./ CNA
