VKontakte, with a monthly audience of 80 million users, confidently occupies the first position in the TOP 10 most popular social networks on the Runet. Comfort of chatting, a lot of interesting games, online services, music and video, a convenient internal search system - it would seem, what else does an Internet consumer need? Here's what! Get rid of it all!

Yes, yes, that’s right: delete the page in contact - and that’s the end of it. And there is nothing surprising in this desire. There are plenty of justified motives for committing this act: a session on the nose, attacks of gambling addiction, manifestation of jealousy of the other half, the desire to hide from an ex-girlfriend, etc. Alas, everyday lyrics sometimes oblige.

So, how to delete a page in a contact?

Method number 1: activating the “delete” option

1. Go to your VK page.

2. Click in the user menu located above the “In Contact” icon, the “My Settings” section.

3. Scroll the mouse wheel down when the settings open. Find the “delete your page” link in the “footer” of the site (its lower part) and follow it.

Choose your option from those offered. If there is none, indicate “Other reason” and in the form below leave a short comment explaining why you no longer want to see your own VKontakte page. Here you can do without any special details: the standard phrase “due to the current situation” will suffice.

If you need to tell all your VKontakte friends that you are going to say goodbye to its endless virtual spaces forever, check the “Tell Friends” option.

5. Think carefully about your decision again. There is no doubt - feel free to press the treasured “Delete page” button.

6. A message will appear indicating that the account has been deleted. And also the period (see the date in the second line above the avatar) during which it can be restored.

Attention! If you use this deletion method, the account will remain on the Vkontakte social network server for 7 months until it finally disappears.

Getting your favorite VK page back is as easy as deleting it. If you realize, after some time, that you got carried away, open the social network, enter your username and password, and then click on the “Recover” option in the column on the left. A large “Restore Page” button will appear - click it and enjoy getting your account back to normal.

Method number 2: changing user settings

This deletion option requires a little more effort from the user, but the procedure for permanently deleting a page is much faster. After the steps described below, the account will disappear irrevocably after about 2.5 months, and not after 7 - if you use the first method.

So, if you need to remove the page as quickly as possible, use method No. 2.

1. Open your personal page and go to “My Settings”.

2. Select the "Privacy" tab.

3. Set all settings (who sees..., who can...) in the “My Page” and “Contact Me” sections to “Only Me” and “Nobody”.

4. After changing the settings, do not go to your personal page.

The VKontakte administration system evaluates this privacy configuration as the owner’s reluctance to use the benefits of the social network and, accordingly, automatically deletes the page.

Method number 3: “freezing” the account

When using this method, the page still remains at the user’s disposal, that is, it does not disappear forever. Only her appearance changes in order to hide from all her friends and comrades or from someone specifically for a certain time.

The algorithm of actions is very simple: the account owner deletes all content on the page - photos, audio, video; deletes friends; in the “Contact me” section in the “who can write/invite” settings, set it to “Nobody”. If desired, for greater secrecy, he also changes the first and last name to a pseudonym and page address so that it is impossible to find the account in a search using personal data and visually determine its affiliation with the user.

The main advantage of this method is that the “disguise” can be removed at any time, since the login, password and phone number attached to the account remain unchanged.

The choice of a specific method depends on your goals, dear reader. It depends on what you want to say to your personal VK page - “Goodbye!” or "Goodbye!"

Good luck and good luck to you! Let account deletion be quick and painless.

A few days ago, VKontakte introduced a function for deleting an account. Now we will go through the entire process step by step and delete an account.

The link to the deletion form is at the very bottom of the page "My settings". We are very pleased with the fact that such an opportunity has appeared; just a few days ago, in order to delete a VKontakte page, you had to write a letter to technical support, or upload and distribute as much as possible some kind of creepy porn.

You are taken to the deletion page, which contains several templates with the help of which you will have to convey to the site administration the reason why you decided to leave mortal VKontakte. For each reason, the best copywriters on the planet have prepared texts, outbursts of laughter from reading which should prevent the user standing on the edge of deleting the page from deleting his account.

But no matter how it is, we click “Delete page” without forgetting to check the “Tell friends” checkbox. What could be better for a social network than viral dissemination of information about deleting users? Hm.

In the news of all the friends of the deleted person, the message “So-and-so has deleted the page with the message” and the text of the message appears. A controversial decision, suddenly in a final message to nowhere a person decided to pour out all the accumulated grievances and experiences and personal information like credit card numbers? If you don’t know that all my tens of thousands of friends will see the farewell text, you can make a big mistake (the fact that most VKontakte users don’t know this word won’t stop them from doing it). Again, great opportunities for spam.

After “deleting” a page, it can also be easily restored. There is no question of any grace period (for example, after “deleting” a LiveJournal, at least another 30 days must pass, only then will the LiveJournal be completely deleted without the possibility of recovery; FB has a similar mechanism), so it’s strange that “deletion” account is called "deletion" and not "deactivation" or "temporary fatigue".

PS: our editorial office received a secret mockup of a new update of the VKontakte application for iPhones. You can make sure that the developers have optimized the screen space for iOS 5 as much as possible and brought the most important tabs to the screen:

Viva la Vkontakton! (otherwise what would we write about?)

Deleting the personal page of a user of the VKontakte social network is a rather multifaceted matter. On the one hand, this can be done without any unnecessary problems, using the standard functionality; on the other hand, it all depends on the owner of the profile and his personal preferences.

Today, if we compare the situation with what it was several years ago, the administration has taken care of users who may want to deactivate their page. Due to this, the standard VKontakte settings interface contains specialized functionality that gives any person the opportunity to delete a profile. In addition, VK has some kind of hidden settings, by completing which you can deactivate your account.

Before deactivating your own VKontakte page, it is extremely important to understand what exactly you want. For example, perhaps you want to delete a profile only temporarily, or vice versa forever in the shortest possible time.

In all cases of deactivating a VK profile, you will need patience, since instant deletion is currently impossible; this is necessary for the security of users’ personal data.

Please note that each proposed method involves the use of the standard VKontakte interface, displayed through any Internet browser. If you use a mobile device or special applications, the removal method may simply not be available to you.

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.

1. 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".



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



3. 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.

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



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



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



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



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



9. 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!

Friends, greetings to everyone! Today I would like to touch on the topic of how to delete a VKontakte page, I know very well that there are a lot of articles and video reviews on deleting pages on the Internet, but I would like to write a little more extensively on this topic, tell you everything about what and why people delete their pages. By the way, I want to note that the first competition on the blog will start soon, which I will write later, so you better subscribe to blog updates and wait for the next articles.

We are all different: someone, when leaving, shouts “Bye”, someone calmly says “Goodbye”, there are also those who do not define their departure at all - they do not say goodbye and quietly close the door. It’s the same on a social network: one contact page deleted with “loud” statuses and “important” statements, while the other is imperceptible and quiet. These two parties have one thing in common: they were all interested in the question of how to get rid of a boring or unnecessary profile.

Delete a page in a contact forever - the “usual” way

Log in to your social network profile. Find the tab " Settings" At the very bottom there will be a note “ You can delete your page" Follow the link provided (here it is) http://vkontakte.ru/settings?act=deactivate), select the reason for deleting the profile, click on the blue button. That's it, you are no longer a user of the VKontakte social network. But this is only indirect. In fact, within seven months, with a slight movement of the mouse, you will be able to restore your profile from oblivion with all the photos, videos, etc.

You can also delete a “lost” page from the Internet - one that you cannot access for some reason (forgotten password, hacked profile). To begin with, you will have to. To do this, follow the link http://vk.com/restore. Don't remember your details? That way http://vk.com/restore?act=return_page. The decision to restore your profile will be positive if your data remains on the page. The support service will offer you to send a copy of the documents with a photo, by which they will identify you.

If you don’t remember your password, email, phone number and you still don’t have a passport, contact support using the link http://vk.com/support?act=new– you can only do this from the registered account of a friend or relative.

What happens to the data after contact page deleted

When you press the button " delete page", it is not actually deleted. At any time, you can return your profile to its place - with all uploaded files (photos, videos, music), with all personal information. If you would like your personal data to be permanently deleted from the service, you will need to “ application with a live signature and passport data (with registration and residence address), sent by mail“- and not by e-mail, but by live mail from Ukraine or Russia - this is exactly how VK agents respond to users.

There is a horror story circulating on the Internet that, they say, all the data once uploaded to your profile will forever remain on the Internet. And that someday (even in 10-20 years) some “bad person” will definitely take advantage of the naivety of the once “young user” and put indecent (seemingly deleted) information on public display. Whether this is so, no one knows for sure. All existing “arguments” are not confirmed by facts, and at the same time they are not refuted.

How to delete a page in contact forever - the “difficult” option

After reading the information above, you probably have a question: how to get rid of your profile on a social network once and for all? There is another method, which we called “complex” due to the abundance of points:

1. Erase all personal information.
2. Get rid of all your friends.
3. Delete recordings, photos and videos, music.
4. In your profile settings, block access to your data as much as possible.
5. Change your email (to an existing but not used one).
6. Disable all notifications sent to your mobile phone via the link http://vk.com/deact.php.

But! Even after you get rid of your VKontakte profile using the “complex” option, you can still “uncheck” the box and start filling out your personal account information again.

How to delete a page in a contact forever - the “complaint” method

Many network users who have lost access to their profiles are asking to report them. Let us remind you: 100 complaints to the VKontakte administration are equal to account blocking without the possibility of recovery. But! If you have always been a good boy or a good girl - you haven’t spammed, you haven’t posted sharply negative information on the wall - deleting a page with a forgotten password using the “complaint” method will not be easy. Nobody bans ordinary peaceful profiles. So in this case, only contacting support will help you.

1. Spam in popular groups.
2. Swearing “bad” words on the pages of famous people, for example Pavel Durov.

That is, behave inappropriately - be rude, troll, sell some nonsense, act like a fool, beg, etc. The more negativity there is on the part of your profile, the more complaints there will be, which means that the likelihood that you will soon be banned will increase.

Your contact page has been deleted: Are you sure about this?

If you decide to part with your profile forever, know:

1. Your entries, comments, likes, messages will remain, even if you are no longer on VKontakte!
2. All these posts and likes will still be signed with your name. That is, your profile will no longer exist, but your thoughts, actions, interests will remain online forever.

How to avoid this? Before deleting your account, try changing your last name and first name to a fake one - one that does not exist in nature, but sounds organic.

Who deleted the contact page and why?

According to official statistics published on the VKontakte blog, you can see that more than 50% of social network members have not deleted and do not want to delete their profile. About 30% have blocked or are planning to block their account without subsequent recovery. About 19% responded that they would delete/deleted their page, but would definitely restore it sooner or later. Note that this survey is anonymous, that is, users had no need to “embellish” their own opinions.

And now the most interesting thing: TOP reasons " Why do people get rid of their contact pages?».

In fifth place in popularity: “Performance fright” or “I want to hide.” Some users suddenly realize that their personal data is available not only to friends, but also to enemies. Constant worry about hiding information makes you want to delete the page.

In fourth place: “The FSB is keeping us at gunpoint.” “VKontakte is a spy tool. Users, without knowing it, post all the information about themselves, from which they can then be easily identified,” - this opinion is very common among 11-13 teenagers who “have something to hide” (sarcasm, if anything).

In third place: “VKontakte is not comme il faut.” “It’s much more fashionable to be on Facebook or Instagram,” some say, clicking on the “ Delete page».

In second place: “Contactomania.” Habituation and dependence cause withdrawal symptoms. A social network user cannot live without “likes” and “comments”. He sits on his profile all the time - at work, at home, on the way home, etc. And someone decides to end this once and forever–they delete the contact page.

In the first place: “I’m tired, then I’ll restore it”, “What will happen if my profile disappears - how many people will remember me?”, “Let everyone know that I feel bad, that I have problems - I delete the page so that later to restore again." All the reasons mentioned are just a way to attract attention to yourself (or your problem). Such people really need communication, but only in reality.

Social networks are a great opportunity to communicate even with those who live thousands of kilometers away. One of the most popular social networks in the post-Soviet space is VKontakte. It has united millions of users, which makes it attractive for communication. However, the need for it does not always exist, and therefore users face a dilemma on VKontakte. Let's consider the main methods that are known: both official and unofficial, which were discovered by its users during the existence of this social network.

How to delete a VKontakte page: options provided by the service administration

Regardless of what caused the deletion, developers are required to provide this right. The user agreement stipulates the possibility of deleting an account from this social network. It is quite logical, because we all have the right to manage our private lives. Therefore, let’s immediately consider the options that the developers offer.

The sequence of suicidal actions in VK is as follows:

other methods

How to delete a page in a contact in other ways? The method described above is the one provided by the developers of the social network. However, the imagination of users is limitless, so there are several more original possibilities for online suicide. True, they no longer provide the possibility of data recovery, so before using these tips, you need to think carefully.

Method number 1.

Method number 2.

This method of deleting a VKontakte page is for the most advanced. To do this you need:

This method is the most radical. After some time, the account will be deleted automatically. Some claim that this happens in a month, but it is impossible to say for sure - the user message “VKontakte” modestly keeps silent about such situations.

Method number 3.

How to delete a VKontakte page so that they remember you? This method is the most creative. You start actively being rude, swearing, trolling and spamming from your page! Accounts whose owners violate the laws of the Russian Federation are deleted without the right to recovery. This can be done by calling for the overthrow of the government, the destruction of population groups on a national (or any other) basis... However, be careful - the FSB does not sleep!!!

Note!

All your comments and “likes” remain under your name on your friends’ pages forever. Therefore, if your decision is final, you can change your first and last name to fictitious ones. This option is used by those who do not want their data to remain online.

Whether this is important to you or not - decide for yourself.

P.S.

Now we have looked at all the ways to delete a page in a contact, and you can also delete a page in Odnoklassniki. Regardless of which one you decide to use, remember: no one and nothing will stop you from getting the next one after some time.

Some users delete their pages in an official way, even when going on vacation. When they return, they restore it. This way, there is a guarantee that no one will hack it and start sending spam on your behalf.

In parting, some statistics:

• today the number of VK users is more than 43 million,
• this CC is popular among users under 50 years old,
• Every year, a fifth of users try to leave, of which half will later be restored.
