Samsung announces radical deletion inactive accounts from July!

Keine Adresse oder Ort des Vorfalls angegeben. - Samsung has announced that inactive user accounts will be radically deleted from July 31, 2025. This measure affects all accounts that have not been used for at least 24 months. Users who do not log in until this key date or actively use a Samsung service will lose access to their account and their content such as photos, apps, contacts and personal settings. The decision to delete unused accounts is intended to improve data security, as OE24 reports.

In the run-up to the deletion, warning emails will be sent to affected users who give you the opportunity to access your accounts in good time to prevent deletion. If an account is finally deleted, a restoration of the data is excluded. This measure affects not only the Samsung accounts themselves, but also all the associated services such as Samsung Pay, Smart Things and Samsung Health, whereby all data stored in the Samsung Cloud are also deleted.

important steps for users

users with several Samsung accounts should be aware that each account has to be activated separately in order to avoid deletion. It is also recommended that users who have switched to another device delete their Samsung account as quickly as possible to prevent possible data loss. The deletion of inactive accounts is therefore not only a question of security, but also of data use and care, such as ITMAGAZINE supplemented.

Access to cloud services is usually carried out via Internet-enabled devices, such as smartphones or PCs. Users should be aware that unsafe end devices can be a risk, especially if they are infected by malware. It is recommended to save access data safely and, if necessary, use the two-factor authentication (2FA) to increase safety. All of these measures are important to protect personal data in clouds, such as the [BSI] (https://www.bsi.bund.de/de/ consciousness-und-ververuser/informations-und-fezmen/cloud- Computing-sicherheitspipps/cloud-ri-und--und-sicherheit-und--undsiken-undsiken-und-sicherheit.html).

summarized should not only actively use their Samsung accounts or delete their Samsung accounts in good time, but also pay attention to the safety of their end devices. Data security in the cloud is a complex topic that requires constant attention and precautionary measures.
