Google deletes your accounts for inactivity

Google will delete your account and all its contents (including your YouTube channels connected to those accounts) if you do not sign in at least once every 2 years, so set a calendar reminder to sign in to all your Google Accounts at least once every 2 years!

“Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar) and Google Photos.”

We are surprised Google chose to delete inactive Google Accounts and all their contents! Now we all have to set a calendar reminder to sign in to all our Google Accounts at least once every 2 years.
