Summary

  • To clean up its list of inactive accounts, Samsung has warned clients with a Samsung account that has not been utilised in the last 24 months that they will be deleted on 31 July 2025.
  • There are just eight weeks left for consumers to save their inactive Samsung accounts by logging in.
  • It is advised that users at least utilise a Samsung device with the account linked to it to help prove its activity.
  • Google has also carried out a similar clean-up of Gmail accounts and purges of this type are very common in the tech sector.
  • These purges not only free up space on servers but also remove any redundant data in accounts no longer in use, which also protects this dormant data from malicious actors.
  • It is recommended that users allow Samsung to delete these unused accounts to reduce their data footprint, or they can delete old Samsung accounts themselves.
  • While having a Samsung account offers additional features, such as Samsung Pay, it is not a requirement to use a Samsung device.
