Remove Personal Info from a Deactivated Google Workspace Account (Super Admin Required)

If you’re no longer using a Google Workspace account (old job, former client, non-profit organization), you may discover your personal recovery phone number or recovery email address is still attached to that Google Workspace account. Here’s the key problem: If the Google Workspace account is deactivated (suspended) but not deleted, the user typically cannot sign in to remove personal contact information. In many cases, the only way to remove or update that personal data is to contact the Google Workspace Domain Administrator (Super Admin) for that Workspace domain. In this video, I explain: * The difference between a deleted Google Workspace account and a deactivated (suspended) account * Why you may be unable to edit the recovery phone number or recovery email addresses for a deactivated Workspace user * What to ask the Google Workspace Super Admin to change or remove * Why this matters for account security, offboarding, and personal privacy What to request from the Domain Administrator (Super Admin): * Remove recovery phone number from the deactivated Google Workspace account * Remove recovery email address from the deactivated Google Workspace account * Update account recovery settings to company-managed information (if appropriate) * Confirm the account status: deactivated/suspended vs deleted This is a common offboarding and privacy issue for Google Workspace accounts, especially when personal phone numbers and personal email addresses were used for account recovery.
