I just checked, this isn't true. I've Google Calendar entries from over 10 years ago. Where did you get the idea that they delete anything older than 2 years?

There is a setting in one's Google account to keep one's data forever or automatically delete it after a certain time period, perhaps they changed it?
(side note: the title of this post is a little sensational imo. the past has always "disappeared". Don't forget that you will die some day and eventually there will be no trace of your existence)
where is this setting?
In the "Activity Controls"[0] section of one's google account, there's an option for "auto-delete".
Now that I'm looking for it, I don't see Calendar listed as one of the products controlled here, but it might be grouped under GMail or something.
Uh, my gmail stops at ~2009 or so...
I lost a bunch of emails from my now passed mother which I went to go look for, and found out that Gmail chopped history.
Yikes! Just checked and I have emails going back to 2000 (imported, account is from 2007) in my Gmail. It is a workspace account though.
