I’ve heard you should keep unused Gmail accounts rather than deleting them, as people could “re-claim” them in the future and you wouldn’t be able to get it back or something like that. I have a question. Should I remove the recovery number and email? Is it bad if I just kept a personal number as a recovery on the Gmail account, but just change/remove all the other data like names and such on there to fake info?
