How to delete a page on VKontakte. Deleting a VKontakte page permanently and irrevocably

All tips

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. personal and public (public) pages. It goes without saying that some of them are deleted (for example, for spam, swearing, suspicious activity, etc.). But there are times when the user himself wants to remove all traces of his presence from VK, including his personal page.

This possibility is provided by the Contact functionality, but there are a number of points that are definitely worth paying attention to and which will be mentioned in this article. It is noteworthy that it is possible to delete even a page to which you have long lost access, as well as a public page on VK that you changed your mind about maintaining and decided to close.

How to delete your page in Contact?

, where all available information about you is located, as well as the wall.
A public (official) page that you can create on VK, for example, to present your business, brand, or simply to maintain a page on a certain topic (humor, fan club, hobby, etc.). Read more about them in the article "".

Both types of these pages can be deleted, but most often it is necessary to delete “My Page” in VK, where personal information, correspondence, etc. is stored. There may be a lot of reasons, but the essence is the same - it is possible to do this, but everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Actually, that’s why this question arises so often among many users of this social network and that’s why this article appeared.

I'll describe it right away official way, which the Contact administration offers to those who wish to delete all traces of their presence on this social network. Actually, you still won’t be able to delete all the tracks (although you can cheat), but more on that below.

So, the removal instructions suggest that we go from the left menu to the “My Settings” tab, scroll to the bottom of the page that opens and click on the inscription “ delete your page ».

A form will open where you will be asked to select one of the reasons that prompted you delete your personal page from VK, or you can write your own version of the explanation. Doesn't matter.

What’s important is that although the deletion will happen instantly, The contact will keep a copy of the deleted page for about seven months in case you are during this time (in this case, everything will be restored: recordings, video, audio, photos, and personal correspondence stored in your account). Those. In essence, this is not a deletion, but a temporary suspension of access to the page.

True, if during this time you do not click the “Restore” button (it will appear every time with the login and password from the deleted account), then your data stored on “My Page” will be completely deleted (probably not completely deleted, because once you are exposed, consider that you are hooked, but removed from public access).

Please note that you only delete posts (and media files) on your own VKontakte page. But all posts, comments, likes and other traces of activity left by you on other VK pages will be saved. And your first and last name will still appear there.

Unfortunately, there is no way to delete posts from other people’s pages (they will remain there forever). But before deleting your page, you can make a trick with your ears - replace your real name with a fake one (made up). This will be easy to do in “My Page” editing window. And after that, you can begin the official account deletion procedure described above.

Please also note that , will still remain in the database of this social network. To avoid this, link it to a newly created account (if you still plan to continue hanging out on this social network). In a couple of weeks, he will unlink himself from the old page and it can be submitted for deletion.

There is also not an official way to delete your page from VKontakte. It is notable for the fact that the process itself takes not seven months, but only about two, but there is no exact guarantee that by following the instructions described below you will achieve the desired result (the internal kitchen of VK is constantly undergoing changes and some cartoons may no longer work).

To do this, just come in to the VK privacy settings page and close yourself off from the outside world as much as possible, choosing items like “Only me” or “No one” from the list of possible options wherever possible. After this, access to your page will be as limited as possible for everyone except you. And if you don’t log into your account for a couple of months, then there is a high probability that such a page will be taken and automatically deleted (which is what we need).

How to delete a page in Contact, access to which has been lost

It is quite possible that a VK page you created a long time ago has become a hindrance that you would like to get rid of. However, often, behind the veil of years, the opportunity to gain access to it is completely lost. Previously, for example, all accounts were linked to email addresses, and not, as now, to a phone number. It is quite possible that you currently no longer have access to the Email that was used during registration, but you still want to delete the page. What to do?

In principle, the situation is not so rare, so this possibility is provided in the Contact structure. True, in order to avoid people trying to delete other people’s pages in this way (out of malice or malicious intent), the deletion process itself will be possible only if on your page real first and last name were indicated, and yours were also posted real photos.

In this case, you can delete a page on VK, even without having access to it, by following a number of steps:

That’s it, after this all you have to do is wait for a response from VK technical support and, if necessary, perform some other actions. But most often your page, when providing the above photographs, will be deleted from the VKontakte social network database without any problems.

If you mature over time, you can open a new page (with the same full name), but try not to lose your login and password (now for your account, which increases security and simplifies the process of restoring access if necessary).

How to delete a public page (public) in Contact?

Everything here is a little trickier, but essentially nothing complicated either - you just need to know the sequence of steps. It is not possible to directly delete a group or public from VK (in the manner of “My Page”), but it will be possible to make a trick with your ears, which is nevertheless offered as a recipe and in the official instructions for using this social network.

How to delete deleted VKontakte friend pages?

If you come across many accounts in your friends list where a sad head of a sheep (or dog?) is depicted, and when you go to the page you get a message that it has been deleted, then this is not entirely convenient.

Actually, you can easily get rid of them, although this may take some time. In other words, we need to delete the deleted (for various reasons) pages of our friends on VKontakte. There can be many reasons for deletion;

To clear your list of Friends from “dead souls” (they have a sad sheep-dog displayed instead of an avatar), you will need to go to the page to view all your friends and opposite a friend whose page was deleted from Contact for one reason or another, click on the button located to the right "Unfriend":

Although you can leave temporarily blocked users as Friends, because they “may come to life” over time.

Well, something like this.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Method 1: Uninstall via Settings

The method of deleting a VKontakte account through the basic settings is the easiest and most accessible method for everyone. However, if you decide to deactivate your page in this way, you will encounter some problematic aspects.

The main feature of this deletion method is that your page will remain in the social network's database and can be restored for some time. At the same time, unfortunately, it is impossible to speed up the deletion process, since the VK administration, first of all, thinks about the security of user data and deliberately set a fixed deletion period.

Contacting support directly with a request for quick removal is, in the vast majority of cases, useless.

When deleting a page through standard user settings, you should be aware that the associated phone number will remain associated with it until permanent deactivation, for a period of seven months from the date the deletion is initiated. Thus, deleting a VK page to free up a phone number is a bad idea.

In the dialog box that opens, you are required to indicate the reason for deactivation. In addition, here you can uncheck or leave the checkbox "Tell friends", so that your comment about deleting your profile is displayed in their feed, as well as on your page (in case of restoration).

If you select one of the prepared items, then your avatar will have a unique appearance until your account disappears completely, depending on the selected reason option.

This technique is recommended for those who only need to temporarily hide their page from other VK.com users. If you really want to get rid of your profile, then this method will require a lot of patience from you.

You can create a new account by specifying the phone number associated with the deleted profile. This will not speed up the deletion in any way, but it will still minimize the chance of accidental authorization and subsequent recovery.

Please note that if you need to restore the page for a while, the deletion date will be updated in accordance with the deactivation rules.

Method 2: Temporarily freezing your account

This method of deleting a page is not a means of deactivating a VKontakte profile forever. Freezing an account gives you the opportunity to hide your account from the eyes of other social network users. At the same time, you retain full access to all the features of VK.com.

Unlike the first method, freezing will require deleting any user data and files.

The only advantage of this method is the ability to remove the freeze at any convenient time, after which you can continue to use the page.

Log in to VKontakte using an Internet browser and use the drop-down menu in the upper right part of the page to go to the section "Edit".

It is recommended to switch the birthday information to "Do not show date of birth".

Remove all information about yourself by switching between tabs on the right side of the editing page.

You need to erase all information that you have ever provided. Ideally, only data about your gender should remain.

After saving the new data, use the drop-down top menu to go to "Settings".

Here you need to switch using the right menu to the subsection "Privacy".

Scroll down the page to the settings block "Contact Me".

For each item presented, enter a value. "Nobody".

Additionally, in the block "Other" opposite the point “Who can see my page on the Internet?” set the value "Only for VKontakte users".

Return to the main page, clean your wall and delete any user files, including photos and videos. Perform exactly the same actions with the list of your friends.

It's best to block people you delete so they don't remain on your follower list. The subscribers themselves also need to be blocked using a blacklist.

After all the steps taken, you just need to leave your account.

Method 3: Custom Settings

In this case, you do not need to bother manually deleting all friends and user data. You will only need to do a few things, the main ones being new profile settings.

The main advantage of the technique is the somewhat accelerated removal process, but only with strict adherence to all instructions.

As before, you will only need any Internet browser and full access to the page to be deleted.

The deletion technique works due to the fact that the VKontakte administration perceives such profile settings as a voluntary refusal of the owner from the services of the social network. Over the next few months (until 2.5), your account will be completely deleted automatically, and the email and phone number associated with it will be freed.

You can choose any of the above removal methods, depending on your personal preferences and goals. But do not forget that it is basically impossible to perform instant deletion, since the administration does not provide such an option.

We wish you good luck in achieving your goal!

Every person registered on a social network may want to delete their page completely, or for some period of time. The time given by developers for reflection varies from one month to six months. This is due to the fact that approximately a fifth of users annually submit requests for deletion and half of them subsequently restore their pages.

Below we discuss in detail the methods of how to delete a page in a contact, proposed by the developers, and those found by chance (or not by chance) by users. There are different options - you can delete it completely permanently, or temporarily.

Method No. 1

The easiest way to completely permanently delete a page in a contact provided by the developers is to delete it through the settings. To do this you can do this:

Log in to your account.
On the left side, in the menu column, select “My Settings”.
Open the “General” tab.
At the very bottom of the page, click on the “Delete your page” link.

We choose the reason for deletion, and if desired, send a message or parting words to our friends.
your page has been deleted. But since you used your page before the decision to delete it, you can restore your account and old page within up to six months.

If you were unable to access the “Settings” menu item or you do not want to look for it, then after logging into your account, follow the link http://vk.com/settings?act=deactivate. After the transition, you will also see a deletion window where you indicate the reason and confirm the deletion.

Method No. 2

Or a way of safe oblivion. It is used if you don’t communicate much on social networks, visit your page about once a month, or even want to forget about the existence of social networks and sleep peacefully. So, how to delete a page in a contact completely forever in this case?

On your page, open the “Settings” item
In the “Privacy” tab, set all values to “Only me”.
In all other tabs, delete all information about yourself.
Delete all files and posts from your page, that is, photos, wall posts, music, and so on. The page should become completely null.
Delete/unfollow all friends.

Now you can forget your password. Since your page is empty and no one can see it except you and the VKontakte administration, after some time (about a month) it will be deleted by the administration. But during this time you can still restore the old page. In order to restore a page deleted in this way, you just need to try to log into your account. A link will appear at the top: “restore your page.” Click and that’s it – the refund is complete.

If you are sure that you do not want to restore your page, then the next method is for you. It is a slightly modified method No. 2.

Method No. 3

Here you will definitely and immediately delete your page completely (strictly speaking, it will continue to exist, but you will not go to it no matter how much you want).

We repeat all the points indicated in method No. 2.
In the settings, you refuse the mail to which you are linked.
Change the normal password to a random one, the one that will be easiest for you to forget. For example, 4GJGU8678JHJ.
You buy the left SIM card and link the page to its number (or leave the old one, but then you will have to buy a new one for permanent use).
Leave the page and destroy the linked SIM card.

The method, of course, is longer and more complicated, but now you definitely won’t be able to restore your page, since there is no email, the number associated with the account, and you won’t remember the password.

Method No. 4

You can write a corresponding letter to the technical support service of the social network. To do this, email [email protected] you write a letter asking to delete your page. Perhaps after that you will be asked to provide evidence that it is yours and you can only wait for a response from the technical support service.

NOTE: If your decision is final and cannot be changed, please note that all your ratings and comments will remain online under your name. Therefore, if you do not want to leave your data, you can change your name before deleting.

Method No. 5

Applies if your account has been hacked and you cannot log into it. To apply, you will have to re-register on the social network and it is best if you enter all your data from the previous page into it. This way the administration will have less doubt that you are the real owner of the account. So:

From the newly created account, go to the hacked page.

Under the photo, in the context menu, select “Report user”

In the “User Complaint” window that opens, select the “Offensive Behavior” option and describe your problem in detail in a comment.

The application will be considered for three to network days, after which the user will be blocked and subsequently deleted. The result will be faster if your friends also contact the administrator with a complaint about the fraudulent person.

ATTENTION: If the administration has ignored your request, you can restore access to your page and delete it yourself. If you cannot log into your account using such simple and well-known recovery methods as by phone number or email, you can restore access using a special application form.
In order to restore access to your page, you need to:

Go to the Vk.com website and select “Help”, or follow the link http://vk.com/restore. After this, a window for restoring access will appear in front of you.

Enter your registration information: login, email address or phone number.

Enter the captcha and verification code. The code should be sent via SMS.

If you do not remember your login or phone number, then after clicking on the link http://vk.com/restore, at the very bottom click on the link “if you do not remember the data, or do not have access to the phone, click here.”

Next, you will need to either find your page in the search, or remember the identification number. Afterwards, you will have to fill in the fields with the data that you may have saved (old password and phone number), send the application to the administration and wait for a response. You may need to prove that the page is yours and send the administration a scan of your passport and a personal photo, but you can also repeat complaints about the scammer or write a letter to technical support.

Method number 6

WARNING: This method is intended for informational reading only, as it is socially harmful and entails unpleasant consequences for the user. In particular, from a bunch of minuses to karma to the disappearance of a large amount of funds and restrictions on freedom.

If the method provided by the developers and the method of safe oblivion are not enough for you and you want to leave your virtual life with fireworks, then you can try to get your account blocked. To do this, you just need to anger as many users as possible and provoke them to complain to the administrators. How to do this is up to you. If you hope to restore your page (not create it again, but restore it), then simply imitate hacking your account. Profanity, rudeness, spam and aggressive advertising will anger everyone and you will be blocked very quickly. It will be difficult to restore access, but if this was not planned, then you don’t have to worry. If you want to be deleted without the right of recovery, then you will have to violate the laws not only of the virtual space, but also of the Russian Federation. For example, start posting Nazi or extremist texts on the wall, calls for terror and overthrow of the government. They will block you quickly and certainly forever.

WARNING: Violating the laws of the Russian Federation is dangerous to health and may result in criminal liability.

As a conclusion

If you are simply tired of the world of social networks, then the most convenient way is to use the method already created by the developers or hiding, as described in method number 2. In order not to suffer with recovery, please take care of a strong password and store all data in a safe place. And please do not use method number six, for actions aimed at deleting a page from a social network, it is too unpleasant.

You can restore a VK page in different ways, depending on how exactly it was lost (deleted or blocked). Below are step-by-step instructions for recovery in each case. In case they cannot, the article also presents an alternative method. If it doesn’t help you, then be sure to write to us in the comments and we will consider your problem personally.

What to do if your profile is deleted

If you deleted your VK page, you can restore it within 7 months. You don’t need to pay any money for restoration - if you see such a request on the page, then know that this is a scam.

Check your system for viruses to get rid of notifications that your profile is locked and you need to pay to unlock it.

To restore your VK page:

After clicking the “Restore” button again, you can fully use your VK account again - all friends, messages, posts and other information from the page will remain intact.

What to do if your account is blocked

If the VK page was not just deleted, but blocked for sending spam or other suspicious activity, then you can restore it using a special form.

The service will automatically find a page that meets your specified requirements. If the correct account is detected, click “Yes, this is the right page” to regain access to the profile. A message with a code will be sent to the number associated with your profile. Enter it and click “Change Password”. If you do not have access to the phone or the message does not arrive, then click on the “Click here” link.

A small three-point questionnaire will appear - if you fill it out, you can return your page by linking it to another phone number. You need:

Specify another number to which the VK account will be linked.
Write the login you used to access your page before (number or email address).
Enter your old password (you can leave this field blank).

Account recovery is only possible if your profile contains your photos. It is difficult to return anonymous pages without photos, even if you provide complete information about the old password and login.

If a profile is blocked for violating the site rules, then the blocking information will indicate the specific reason and expiration date of the ban. Before this period expires, access to the page cannot be restored.. If you did not violate the rules (your page was hacked and used by third parties), then report this to the support service - the procedure for contacting will be discussed in detail below.

What to do if your login and password are lost

The form described above will allow you to restore your VK page if you have forgotten your login and password. This is a fairly common problem among users, so the VKontakte administration has made the procedure as simple as possible, but safe - you can only restore your page, you cannot gain access to someone else’s account.

The page has been found, but to restore it you will have to send a request, in which you must indicate the old number, the available number, and the password for the account. If your profile contains your photos, then you can do without a password, but then there is a chance that the VKontakte administration will reject your request.

Alternative method

If your profile was hacked and then blocked for actions that violate VK rules, you cannot remember your login (password) or you cannot find your account address, then try to restore access directly through the VKontakte support service.

Note: To use this feature, you need to be logged in to the site. If you decide to create a new page for your request, under no circumstances link it to the same number as the old one, otherwise you risk losing access to the old account. You can open a support page from another person's profile - it will be safer.

The VKontakte network allows users to destroy their page in several ways.

However, not immediately - after deletion, the page will be available for restoration for seven months. This will give you time to think whether you really want to leave VKontakte forever.

If you change your mind and decide to return, just log into the site using your username and password. In the left half of the window there will be a “Restore” button. After clicking on it, your page will be restored to its previous form.

But! It is important to do this no later than the date the page is completely deleted (the date is indicated at the top of the window in bold).

Well, now, since our story is about deleting a VKontakte profile, let’s study several ways to do this.

Uninstall using the settings menu

Open your page. From the menu under the photo, select “My Settings”.

Go down to the very bottom of the window, remaining on the “General” tab - there is a not very noticeable button “You can delete your page.” Click on it.

The next window will ask you to indicate the reason for deletion. You can choose one of the points, or you can write something of your own. After this, your page will cease to exist.

Closing access to the page and then deleting it

You can also liquidate your profile using another method - block viewing of any elements of the page from everyone except yourself.

And do not access the site for 2 – 3 months. Such abandoned accounts are eventually discovered by moderators and deleted.

To block access to the page, open “My Settings” and the “Privacy” tab.
Assign each privacy item the “Only me” access mode.

Save the settings and temporarily forget about VKontakte.

Deleting a page if there is no access

If your page has been taken over by an attacker and you, having lost access to it, decide to delete it, the easiest way to do this is with the help of technical support.

To do this, you will have to register on the social network again, preferably with the same data that you had before.

After registering, go from your new page to the old one you want to delete.

At the bottom of the column under the photo there is a “Report page” button. Click on it.

In the “User Complaint” window, write a comment explaining why you are asking to delete this user’s VKontakte page.

After reviewing your application, approximately 3 to 7 days later, your account will be blocked and then deleted. It will be better if all your friends or support group members simultaneously report this user.

If the administration has not responded to your request, you can try to delete the page after first restoring access to it.

For this:

Go to the website, select “Help” from the menu and click on the “My page was hacked” button (or paste the link http://vk.com/restore into the address bar of your browser and open it);

On the access restoration page, indicate your login, e-mail or phone number with which you registered;

Enter the captcha, followed by the phone number to send you an SMS with a code for further recovery;

If your data has been changed or you don’t remember the phone number you linked to the page, click on the link at the very bottom of the form where it says “click here”;

You will have to remember your page ID or find it on the site through a people search;

Most likely, you will be asked to send photocopies of your passport and a personal photo to confirm that the page really belongs to you. After this, your access may be restored.

But is it worth spending so much work only to then simply delete the VKontakte page forever?

Letter to technical support

If none of the previous options suits you, you can contact VKontakte technical support with a request to delete your profile by writing a letter to [email protected].

Be prepared to provide evidence that the page being deleted is actually yours.

Provocative method

If you are a fan of non-standard solutions, you can get your user account deleted by violating the site rules.

For example, place some advertising instead of personal data and start sending spam en masse. Or make room in your profile for obscene content (pornography). Make sure that not even a month will pass before you will first be blocked and then deleted.

We hope that the described methods will be more than enough for all occasions. You now know that after deletion, the page will “live” and wait for your final decision for another seven months.

This is quite enough to think twice and again and... return to your favorite social network again or leave it forever.
