In the modern world, there are practically no people left who can safely do without a VKontakte page. But who among us has not at least once visited the idea to retire from the virtual "web"? There can be a lot of reasons for such a decision: a semi-annual report is on the nose, and you once again looked through interesting communities all night long; the former passion suddenly decided that she would be nowhere without you and began to bother with endless messages; you decided to teach someone you know a lesson and retire from the social network in order to increase the degree of anxiety. In general, the list can be continued indefinitely. The time has come to cast aside all doubts and complete the task.

How to delete your VKontakte page
There are several ways to delete a VKontakte profile. The page can be deleted permanently, as well as temporarily. It all depends on your desire or the reasons why you decided to leave the social network.
In addition to causal relationships, in the process of deleting a VKontakte profile, it is important to consider electronic device, from which you most often accessed the social network.
Standard way to remove from a computer (from the site itself)
This method was created specifically for the simple, and at the same time, reliable deletion of the VKontakte page. The method is provided directly by the developers, and they know a lot about it:
- First of all, you need to log into your account.
- In the upper right corner, find the button with your name and mini avatar next to it. Click on it.
- In the menu that appears, select "Settings".
Removal by means provided by the developers - the easiest way
- The "General" tab will automatically open in front of you. Scroll down the page that opens and find the option "You can delete your page." Click on it.
In the "General" tab you will see the inscription "You can delete your page"

If for some reason you were unable to enter the "Settings" menu, then immediately after you log into your account, go to direct link. This will help you jump straight to step 5.
The standard way to delete from the phone
If you do not have the opportunity to log into your VKontakte profile from a computer (or do you prefer mobile devices to use social networks), then you can use the method of deleting a VK profile from your phone.
Setting privacy and completely clearing the page
For those who want to sleep peacefully, knowing that their page has been completely deleted and will never be found by some old acquaintances or ill-wishers, there is an option to clean up the page and change the privacy settings:
As a result, you should be left with a completely “bare” page. Now you can forget your password with a clear conscience. After some time, your page will be deleted by the VKontakte administration.
Changing the password and linking to a one-time number
If you are determined to never again succumb to the charm of social networks, then there is a somewhat costly way for you to delete your VKontakte page. We are talking about linking a profile to a “one-time” number.
- First of all, you need to completely clear the page, as indicated in the previous instructions.
- After the page is completely cleaned up, the privacy settings are set correctly, you need to untie your account from email. There will be difficulties with this, since the latest updates to VKontakte have excluded the function of completely unbinding email. profile email. In this case, you should change your old email address to one that you can delete immediately after confirming the data change.
First, change your email address to one you don't use
- Once you have linked your profile to disposable address e-mail, change the password to one that you are unlikely to remember. Ask your cat, budgerigar, or pet mongoose (or whatever last resort play Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 on the computer keys).
When changing the password, you will need to confirm the phone number
- Now you need to buy new sim card, to the number of which you will bind your deleted page. If you do not wish to purchase new number, then you can use the old SIM card, but keep in mind that it will have to be broken after binding.
- We bind the VKontakte page to the new number. To do this, you will again need to return to the "Settings" menu, then enter the "General" tab and next to the "Phone Number" item, click "Change".
- In the field that opens, you need to enter a new number. Then follow all the instructions that will come to your phone. After the new number is linked, the SIM card must be broken.
This method, of course, can be considered radical and energy-consuming. It is suitable for those who have thoroughly decided not to return to social networks, as well as those who are looking for difficult ways. After you get rid of the SIM card to which you linked your cleaned account, and also delete Mailbox linked to your page, it will be impossible to restore the profile.
Letter to technical support
If you do not decide to delete the VKontakte profile on your own, you can resort to the help of technical support. But keep in mind that you should still contact technical support in cases where access to your page has been lost, or ill-wishers have hacked your account. In such cases, technical support will respond to your call for help much faster and delete your page.
- If you have access to your page, then you need to go to the "Help" section.
First of all, go to the "Help" menu
- In the "Help" section, select the item with the question you need or enter the question you are interested in in the search field.
Look for your question in the list you will see
- If, for example, you are interested in "How to delete a page that is not accessible", then select the appropriate item.

Blocking a page through another account
An unpleasant situation can happen to any of us: the VKontakte account was hacked, all data was changed, and access to the profile was lost. In this case, you will need to create another VKontakte profile.
by the most the best way will create a page with exactly the same data as on a hacked account.
After the alternative profile has been created, do the following:
Typically, such applications are considered from 3 to 7 business days. If you ask your friends to perform similar manipulations on your hacked page, things can go much faster.
Other methods (aggressive spam)
This method of deleting a VKontakte page is given only as theoretical material for familiarization. The use of this method in practice may result in criminal penalties.
If you are a risky person and want to leave VKontakte under the roar of cannonade, then this method is just for you. It provides for a deliberate violation of the rules of VKontakte, i.e. active irritation of users and administration of this social network. Spam, profanity, aggressive advertising, inciting racial and nationalist propaganda, pornographic video and photo materials published by you in communities and on your own page will help you quickly attract the attention of the resource administration. It is natural that normal deletion the page may not be enough, and you will have to deal with law enforcement.
How to recover a deleted VKontakte page
It is quite possible to restore a previously deleted VKontakte page. But there are some limitations.
After the user deleted his profile on VK on his own, a footnote should appear on his page, which indicates the last day when access to the page can be restored without losing data on it. The standard time for a symbolic "freeze" is 210 days from the moment the profile was deleted (or about seven months). After this period, access to the page cannot be restored by any means.
So, you deleted your VKontakte page, but seven months had not passed before you changed your mind and decided to return. This is easy enough to do:
Once again it is worth recalling that deleted page VKontakte can only be restored within 210 days from the date of deletion. After the allotted time has passed, it will no longer be possible to do this and the only way out is to create a new page.
How to view a VK profile that has been deleted
Many users have encountered the fact that one of their friends or acquaintances (or themselves) deleted their page on the social network, and with it photos, data and other information. And sometimes you want to see what was in the profile before deletion. There are several ways to satisfy curiosity.
search engine cache
In other words, the ability to view a saved copy of a page. This method is not entirely reliable, since the storage time of such a copy is limited. Therefore, for example, if a user deleted a page a year ago and earlier, then you will not be able to view it. Plus, after latest updates The vk.com function does not work correctly, and it is almost impossible to find a saved copy of the page of the person you need.
In theory, the saved copy can be found as follows:
- First of all, go to the remote page and copy the user ID from the address bar.
- Insert the ID into the search bar (for example, in Yandex or Google). Click "Search".
- Ideally, the page of the person you are looking for should fall out as the first link in the search.
- Click on the small arrow next to the ID and select "Backed up".
The method works very crookedly, because lately VKontakte has acquired big amount privacy settings for their users, so the likelihood of a positive result after using this method is very small.
Website archive
In addition to the saved copy, you can try to find the deleted page in the web archive. But here, too, there are difficulties. The website web.archive.org was blocked by Roskomnadzor, so you can only use it with the help of an anonymizer.
If virtual life has become a burden for you, and the VKontakte page does not cause anything but irritation, then this is a sure sign that it's time to delete your profile. It is best, of course, to use the methods specially provided by the VKontakte developers for this. These methods are quite simple and safe.
Keep all your data in a safe place, do not go to third-party sites and try not to access your VKontakte profile from other people's devices, this will save you from unwanted blocking or data leakage.
Follow the rules for using the social network, as well as the laws of the Russian Federation. Remember that your desire to “play with fire” (deliberately pissing off the administration and users by sending spam, publishing pornographic materials, inciting racial and nationalist hatred, etc.) may result not only in blocking and deleting your profile on the social network, but also by imprisonment.
The social network "VKontakte" today is perhaps the most popular of all. More than 70 thousand people register here every day. But, sooner or later, there comes a moment when certain circumstances prompt you to delete your account. There are many reasons, and the most common among them is that Evil hackers enter it, change the password, and in the most active way begin to send spam from it to everyone they get. After such actions, you will no longer be able to go to your page, but you will not be saved from complaints about the mailing list. Therefore, if you need your account, then do the following: first change the password from your mailbox. After that, when you try to enter the site, indicate that you have forgotten the password, after which the one entered by the hackers will be sent to you. Then just change it to a new, more complex one, and calmly enter your page.
However, there are many people who have decided to overcome their addiction to the Internet and virtual communication, so they need to delete the VKontakte page forever. Others, perhaps, are tired of their increased popularity and they are tired of annoying fans and ill-wishers who leave a lot of messages and comments of a different nature on the page, and they would also like to leave this social network. Is it possible to do this? Here are some tips on how to delete the VKontakte page. However, we will immediately clarify that it will not work without the possibility of recovery. There are some reasons for that. Let's say you logged into your account not with home computer rather from an Internet cafe. Before leaving, you forgot to click "Exit", and now anyone who has entered VKontakte after you can do anything with your page. Even ask the moderators to delete it. And the next time you log on to the network, you will not find your data there. Since such cases are not rare, the moderators give a month to restore the account. If during this period you do not follow the link that will be sent to your email, then your page will be deleted completely.
So, if you nevertheless decided on such a feat as saying goodbye to social networks, then the first way, the “VKontakte” page forever, is this: go to “Privacy” and put the “Only me” icon wherever possible. After that, return to the page and delete absolutely all information accumulated during the registration period, including music, videos, photos, friends, etc. After a certain period of time, the entry “User page deleted” will appear. Just in case, also turn off all notifications that come to your email box. This can be done in the settings or in a letter that will come to you from the social network. At the very end of the letter, simply click the "Unsubscribe" link.
The second way to delete the VKontakte page forever is spam. Start extremely actively sending it to everyone in a row. You can also go to groups and flood there, leave offensive comments on photos, etc. And to make it work for sure, go to the page (active "vkontakteers" know who it is) and start swearing (preferably obscenities) there. Your page will be blocked in the near future.
The next way to delete the VKontakte page forever is as follows: open a new email inbox. Next, in the settings of your account, replace the e-mail specified there with the one you just created, after which delete the new mailbox. On your page, also eliminate absolutely all information and friends, and in privacy, put the “Only me” icon. Change your password to one you can't remember and exit the page by clicking "Exit". After a month, it will be deleted automatically.
Now you know effective methods on how to delete the VKontakte page forever. Of course, you will have to wait long enough, but if you look from the other side, you posted all your ins and outs on the Internet yourself, so there is nothing to blame on the moderators that you saw your photos on completely “left” sites. Do not make your private life public, then you will not have to suffer.
Recently, a lot of people want to know how to delete a page in a contact. Social networks, which have firmly entered our lives, take away real life from us. This has been said more than once, and in order not to repeat ourselves, we will not raise this topic again. But about the “manifestation of firmness of character”, as the current younger generation jokes, we will talk in detail. After all, in fact, delete your page "VKontakte" comparable only to the exploits of epic heroes or knights. After all, we spend 2/3 of our free time in front of the monitor, neglecting communication with relatives, playing sports, dancing, eating and even sleeping!
So there are several ways delete page in contact. Some are quite easy, and some will require you to spend a few minutes of your time and a megabyte of internet. The fact is that after the creation of the social network, Pavel Durov did not provide for the possibility of deleting the user's page. What tricks did not come to their senses citizens to remove their page from the Internet. VKontakte is on this moment the largest network in the CIS, and are very far behind in terms of attendance. Which is not surprising, since VKontakte was created as a youth network, therefore the target audience from six to 35 years old. Of course, there are also older people, but they are no more than 9% of the total number of registered.
You should carefully consider that your page can be restored within 7 months, and for this it is enough to go back to it. Such a long period is given to users so that they can test their endurance for strength. And also, as Pavel Durov explained, this is done so that if your account is hacked by attackers, it cannot be permanently deleted. Now it is very easy to restore an account after deletion, just go to the site page and enter your former login and password and click the Restore button.
And before, the user had to send a letter, which indicated the data and the mobile number attached to the account, to the address of the site administration. And only then technical support, had the ability to restore the user's page.
I'll show you some paths showing how to delete a page in contact:
- Wrong ways. These are the ways quick removal . Those. your account will be deleted almost immediately, but it is better not to use these methods, below I will explain why.
- The right way. It is only one, but it will not work to delete a page in a contact immediately and forever.
First, read everything, and then decide which of the proposed methods suits you best.
So, let's consider the first way to delete the VKontakte page, which is rarely used now. Rumor has it that the VKontakte support made it so that now it is impossible to delete your account in this way and all data is stored forever in their database, but we will not believe idle gossip and horror stories and boldly go the beaten track. The method is somewhat long, but if you nevertheless decide to get rid of such an addiction as an account on a social network, this should not stop you. Open your page in contact and go to the "Settings" item.
Select "General" in the opened dialog box.
And check the box to disable commenting on the wall.
Then, go to the "Privacy" tab. Here we select the "Only me" mode in absolutely all points and click the "Save" button.
Further, returning to your page, you should delete all information about yourself favorite, that is, video and audio files, your photos, information about your city, date of birth, habits and marital status. Do not forget! You must remove absolutely everything! The next step is to turn off all notifications (to phone or mail). That's all, now you can safely leave the site. The main thing is to show willpower and not appear there for a month. After that, the page will be deleted.
If the previous way to delete a page in a contact did not work, then I can suggest another one.
Before you leave the page, you should once again visit the “General” account settings, and, by selecting the “Change password” column, enter absolutely arbitrary numbers there, either a phone number from the directory, or numbers from any check. That's all, you won't remember such a password even under torture, and you won't be tempted to visit your page again. Although for your own safety, the check must be eaten, and the reference book with phone numbers Throw it away, but rather burn it. JOKE!
Another of the ways is original and just the same incredible lightness! In order to delete a page in a contact, you just need to add Pavel Durov to the "Black List" and voila - your account was deleted within a day and without trial.
The third way, somewhat immoral, is to start sending spam from your account, and quite actively, as well as uncivilized communication and negative reviews on the page of Pavel Durov. But since we are all adults, we will go the way, albeit a long one, but not going against our moral principles and foundations.
How to leave a contact permanently? The right way.
And finally latest innovation"Pavel Durov and Co" is an opportunity to delete your page in three mouse clicks. After logging in to the contact, go to the "Settings" menu
and by default the dialog box opens on the General tab. Going to the very end of the page, we see an inscription informing us about the possibility of deleting our page.
By clicking on the highlighted line, we will move to a new dialog box"Deleting a page" Here we should dwell in more detail. At this stage, you can choose why do you want to delete the page. It does not matter that you were pushed to this by lack of time or fear of using your personal data. You can even tell your friends about deleting your account. But if you want to keep everything a secret (although this is unlikely to work out, friends - by going to your page - will see that it has been deleted), then you can not tell anyone anything.
So let's continue. If you do not want to inform your friends, then you must uncheck the "Tell friends" box.
On the reason for deletion, select any one you like or the "Other" tab (the field is not required). And click "Delete Page".
And then a miracle happened! Your page has been removed
But do not rush to rejoice, because you can restore your account within 7 months, which is kindly reminded by the line at the top of the page. If you decide to restore the page, then you should select one of the highlighted lines "Restore".
By clicking on it, you will instantly restore your account and go to the news section.
That's all, we examined in detail the possibilities deleting your page on a social network. If you decide to spend more time away from the alluring world of virtual communication - go for it! And remember, do not throw your accounts into free swimming, it is better to delete any information about yourself than to erase hundreds of spam messages from your phone or mailbox later.
P.S. By the way, if you have pages in other popular in social networks that you want to delete, then read the corresponding instructions - and
