Android Device on Google Play deletes after 9 months since last used date?

[anon(847090)]

I found this interesting finding from xda in quotes below and the source.

I have been looking for a solution for this too.

Here's my findings:

1. if you still have your phone with you, delete the cache and data of Google Services Framework app (just as you do when trying to force an update check), and it will be gone. Of course you need to be signed in, otherwise it doesn't do anything. Yet, dont do anything with google play, otherwise the phone will be reappearing. Just reset it and forget it.

2. if you already got rid of the phone, simply wait 9 months (not one day more not one day less) since your last used date. I have verified and confirmed this time frame with 4 devices now. Took an extra week only for a tablet to disappear.

[Q] Removing devices from Google Play - Page 2 - xda-developers

Method 1- I know this method would delete the device but it wont delete the backup from dashboard under Android device here https://www.google.com/dashboard/ . Confirmed

Method 2- Can anyone confirm this? and also will it delete the backup data from dashboard from here? https://www.google.com/dashboard/ after 9 months of inactivity?

I have 2 android devices and i still use it. so, I cannot verify this.

No one? all it takes is look for your old device which you have not used for more than 9 months in here https://forums.androidcentral.com/e.../play.google.com/store/account&token=grtu7ONr -->Settings tab
and here https://www.google.com/dashboard/

If I had any unused devices, I'd help you, but, unfortunately I don't. At least this'll bump it for ya.

I used to have an Android which unfortunately is long dead. I confirm that the device disappeared from both Google Play Store and Google Dashboard. However, I cannot confirm the time frame. All can tell is that a device last used in winter 2012 is not listed.
