An update to storage policies across your Google Account

Hmmm is my G Suite account different from a Workspace account? I got this email a few weeks ago saying I hadn't logged in for awhile and they were going to delete my data: https://i.imgur.com/XAEXQWb.png

This subthread is confused. Google will delete long idle nin-domain users and idle domains, but will not delete long idle users within an active domain.

It's the same product; G Suite was just rebranded to Workspace

Are you a paying customer?

No, this is a free account from way back when (2010 maybe?)

Google deletes legacy Google Apps domains if none of the accounts at that domain are logged into for a year or something.

I've received multiple warnings for some of my unused domains.

This I believe only applies to the root/admin account of the GSuite domain. Extra users created in the account are just extra user slots for that account.

I usually don't use the admin account as my main working account, for security.

I believe the Google Apps "target for deletion" process only gets triggered if none of the accounts in a domain are logged into for a period of time.
