They literally send me an email to recover my old photos almost every day. Dude, I can't even remember what's on there, must not be important so I'm not gonna recover them.

Same, I just checked and for over a year they have been sending mails saying that my account has been deactivated and is at risk of deletion. It included a link to delete my account, but then I had to log in, so I figured "alright, I'll just ride it out and have them delete it" but it just kept going for ages. Last one I received was in August 2024, so it seems like it stopped now but holy shit were they annoying.

Edit: checked my spam folder and they're still sending this crap. I had forgotten I have it categorized as junk now.
