Google Will Automatically Delete Backup Data After a Period of Inactivity

September 18, 2017

According to Bleeping Computer, Google will delete your Android backup files stored in your Google Drive account if you don't use your phone for two weeks. Basically, if you don't use your phone for two weeks, Google will start a 60 day count down timer for old Android backup files. The bad news is that you get no warning this is going to occur. I guess the solution is to have your phone "welded" to your body and use it at least every two weeks.
