help deleting old google acc?
I manage to recover an old main email and there was a Google acc tied to it that I haven logged in over ten years, but despite I having access to the email, I can’t access the Google acc because:
"You’re trying to sign in on a device Google doesn’t recognize, and we don’t have enough information to verify that it’s you. For your protection, you can’t sign in here right now.
Try again from a device or location where you’ve signed in before."
Then don’t give any recovery option :S
edit: Best I could get from their bot is "If you still see the message about an unrecognized device, you can try the recovery process again in a week from the device you are currently using, as sometimes waiting can help Google recognize the new sign-in pattern."
They won't just a send a code to the email the acc is tied to, or even to the recovery email the acc is tied to... anyway, gonna try the "sometimes" in a week.
lol that's perfect, I managed to remember the password and then:
"Google will send a verification code to (••) •••••-••88."
A number I don't have anymore haha
So I have the email, I have the password, I have the recovery email, but that's not enough to access the acc lol (trying other options lead to the same "we don’t have enough information to verify" message)
Their Help is very helpful, after suggesting me traveling back in space and time to use a device I had already used to access that acc, they just suggest "If you still can’t recover your Google Account, you can create a new one. "
They delete accounts if they're not used for a long time eventually
I was curious to see what kind of third party stuff that acc was linked to since it was my first acc and I used it for a long time, but I'd fine with that too.
