What if i forget to delete some old accounts associated with the google email address? Will someone be able to take control of them? And my data will be there forever too.

What method do you use to find the old accounts to delete? Unfortunately i delete all emails after receiving them.

When I migrated emails last time, I setup my old email to automatically forward to the new email. Then on my new email, I setup an automatic label for any email that was addressed to the old address. Every week or two I’d review what was sent to it and either update the email address used or unsubscribe. Eventually it got to a level where I wasn’t getting much at the old email anymore and finally deleted it.
