When you are the only person using your Google Workspace account, it can be easy to forget where certain files are stored. When that happens, they can sometimes just disappear! While a complete locate and ‘undo’ would be ideal, a Finder-like GUI can often help identify what’s missing and then restore it accordingly. Google has provided us with a ridiculously complicated process to do so:
Click Find Missing Files.
Click on all check boxes that exist in one area of the associated window, then click Check Now until all have been checked.
Click Fetch [optional] .

Why is Google Workspace Individual?
A Google Workspace individual account is for a specific user. If you want to create multiple Google workspaces for personal use, sign up for your own Gmail account. You can create a new email under this Gmail address, or you can create a second personal account in the settings section. You have to have a Google account in order to sign up into Gmail. You may not create a Google Workspace account if you already have an existing Gmail account. To change your current Gmail account, use the “Switch Accounts” function and choose the contact that you used with it.

This means that access to this account will no longer be accessible through either webmail or the application of a 2-factor authentication enabled service. When using Gmail on Linux you need to enable 2-factor authentication before signing in. Select Settings and then click Signing In in the left menu pane (Figure 5). When you signed out of your original Gmail account, an access recovery code was sent to your mobile phone

What will happen after you delete an account?
Many people use Google Workspaces. They may need to delete an account that they created because they no longer want or need access to it. This is a good idea if someone else is using the information the site has stored about the profile. However, any other individual who has a domain email address linked to that account will still be able to log in and use it.
complete description. Anyone connected to the account you are deleting will still see it on their devices.
But if you erase an account from your workspace, you’ll be prompted with a message asking whether you were planning on using the edited space for another purpose. One user went so far as to completely screw up my home page and reset all the passwords once he had deleted all of my accounts he found no trouble logging in under his own domain. Accounts owned by that same owner can always re-
