No, no, and sometimes Internet users have a desire to just leave VKontakte. In an instant, destroy the profile and all its contents: correspondence, pictures, photos, videos, music, and games, of course. These measures, frankly speaking, cannot be called anything other than radical. Well, what to do, how to be otherwise? If a session is just around the corner, if a person got married, and his ex-passion bothers him (and from different accounts), if he doesn’t give him peace, the eleventh level in his favorite game “three in a row”, if... Oh, how many more of these “ifs” there can be! There are many reasons, but one effect.
So, dear reader, if you decide to delete your VKontakte page forever, then so be it. There is no smoke without fire. All doubts aside, let's get started! By the way, this task can be accomplished in various ways. So choose which one is closer to your heart and soul.
Method No. 1: using a standard function
1. When opening the VKontakte website in your browser, be courageous and firm, and most importantly, do not forget for what purpose you are opening it. With the same feelings, log in (enter your username and password).
2. In the menu of your VKontakte account, click “My Settings”.
3. Scroll the page with options down with your mouse wheel. At the bottom of it, find and click the link “You can delete your page.”
4. The alarming and at the same time solemn moment of saying goodbye to your VKontakte profile is approaching. There's just a little bit left to do:
- indicate the reason for parting with VKontakte: turn on the radio button next to one of the proposed options (for example, there is another page). Or indicate your reason in the field below the list;
- if you want to tell your friends on VK that you are leaving this social network, check the box next to “Tell friends”;
- Click "Delete Page".
How to get a deleted profile back?
After the above steps, the personal VKontakte page will be deleted and will no longer be accessible, but will still be stored on the social network’s servers for 7 months (that is, it will not disappear forever).
To restore a deleted page, follow these steps:
- log in to VK using your login;
- at the top of your profile, under the message “Your page has been deleted,” click the “restore your page” option;
- in the section that opens, click “Restore page” again.
Note. The account will return to your disposal in the form in which it was before deletion - with photos, music, videos and other content.
Method No. 2: “freezing” the account
A more labor-intensive removal option, but still an option. Best suited for temporarily parting with an account, as well as for a kind of “disguise” - hiding your presence on the network.
The “freezing” procedure means that all profile data is changed, including the name of its owner, all content and contacts are deleted, and maximum restrictions are set in the privacy settings.
If you want to resort to such measures, but are not well versed in the settings of the VKontakte social network, follow the steps recommended in the instructions below. And the profile will be frozen 100%.
1. Go to "My Settings" and on the "General" tab:
- in the “Page Settings” block, enable all the options (“Disable commenting...”, “Hide the gifts block...”, “Show... my posts”);
- in the “Your page address” block, change the profile link and click on the “Change address” button.
2. Without leaving the settings page, go to the “Privacy” tab. And in all available options, through the drop-down menu, set the value to “Only me”, and in the “Contact me” block - “No one”.
3. Delete all existing content in the “My Photos”, “My Videos”, “My Audio Recordings” sections.
4. Delete all friends (Before deleting, you can inform some of them that you are “freezing” the profile).
That's all! Now the account will be in a “lethargic sleep”. And if you don’t enter it for a long time, it will disappear completely. So to speak, it will remove itself.
A couple more fun ways to get rid of your profile...
Ignoring the administration
1. Open the “My Settings” section and go to the “Black List” tab.
2. In the “Enter…” field, enter the first and last name of the founder of the social network - Pavel Durov (or the address of his page).
3. Click the “Add to blacklist” button.
There is reason to assume that after such manipulations with the settings, the profile will be deleted within 24 hours without any proceedings.
Close your account and can't find the key
- On the “My Settings” page, in the “Change Password” block, enter your profile login password.
- Separately, in a notepad or other editor, with your eyes closed, type a chaotic set of letters and numbers about 15 characters long. Alternatively, you can ask your tabby pet, a cat, to do this. Let him run over the keyboard.
- Copy the “generated” password and enter it into the “New password” and “Repeat password” fields (on the VK general settings page).
- Click the “Change Password” button.
- Delete the new password you create in Notepad immediately. And don’t even try to remember it!
Now you won’t be able to “kill” a couple of hours on VKontakte once again. After all, a new password has already been set, and an unknown one at that...
Enjoy your absence from VKontakte! Or, if you want, a moderate stay...
Every day people spend their free, and sometimes even working, time on social networks. But sometimes there is a need to delete all personal information along with the page. The reasons are different - often accounts are hacked by attackers or the user is simply tired of wasting his life communicating in the virtual world. Where to start if there is a need to delete a page in a contact?
Official way
- Go to your VKontakte social network page.
- Select “My Settings” from the menu.
- At the bottom of the page, find the inscription “You can delete your page” and follow the link.
- Specify the reason for deletion by selecting it from the list (or specifying your own) and checking the box.
- Click the "Delete Page" button.
The interesting thing is that when choosing a reason, a message is generated automatically, and such a message puts the user in a rather stupid position, especially if he does not uncheck the “Tell friends” checkbox. Most likely, this was done to make the user change his mind about deleting the account.
In order to ensure that the user’s personal data does not appear anywhere else without his knowledge (for example, on dating sites), before deleting a page on VKontakte, it is advisable to clear the deleted page of correspondence, photos, videos and other materials. At the same time, make sure that the changes you make are saved.
This method of deleting a page was introduced not very long ago. Previously, in order to delete a page, it was necessary to perform a number of cunning manipulations. There was a lot of advice, even recommendations to start vigorous spammer activity in order to provoke the moderator to delete the page without the right to restore it.
Delete using your phone
Those who are not attracted to such a simple option may do differently. There is another way to delete a page:
- register a new VKontakte account, indicating the same phone number to which the old page is linked;
- When asking the service to replace a page, answer in the affirmative.
Maintaining privacy on the Internet is a challenge, especially since people post everything about themselves on social networks. To control the dissemination of personal information, it is better not to post it on the Internet, then deleting your account will not be necessary.
Addiction to the virtual world is a serious problem, and the decision to delete the page is only the first attempt to cure it. Whatever the reason that forced you to delete your page from the Internet, it is important to do it correctly and irrevocably.

We continue to study social networks and today we will talk about them again, our favorite ones. According to recent studies, many people who have long registered in one or several social networks at once are literally tired of virtual communication. To start communicating with people in reality, they must forget about the Internet and, first of all, about their page. But not everyone is given the patience to forget about the account once and for all. There is only one way out - to remove it. Can this be done and how? It is this issue that our article today is devoted to.
Deleting a VKontakte account
It is worth noting that page deletion may be due to other reasons. Often people do this in order to get rid of an obsessive admirer, while others even want to start life with a clean face.
However, no matter what reason you have, the solution to the issue does not change. So, let's go through specific points (we have also attached screenshots for them, so that it would be more convenient for you).
Open the website vk.com (you can open vkontakte.ru - in any case, you will be automatically transferred to the main page of the social network), enter your login and password.
On the right side of the screen you see a large menu. Here we are interested in only one section - “My settings”. Click on it.
A page with numerous settings opens. Select the General tab. Here you can change your password or email address, view the latest activity on the page, change regional settings... However, the item we need is hidden from view, but it is easy to find. To do this, lower the page to the very bottom and find the line that says “You can delete your page.” This is the one you need to click on.
Now what? Now all that remains is to choose the reason why you decided to take such a serious action. There are several of them:
- VKontakte has too many inappropriate materials
- I'm concerned about the security of my data
- No one comments on my page
- Another reason (need to write it yourself)
What to choose from this list is up to you. However, it is not necessary to indicate the reason, although it is advisable.
The last step is to click on the “Delete Page” button. You can rejoice!
As it turns out, over a long period of time you can easily and easily restore your account (about six months). It's easy to do. Go to https://vk.com/, log in and click on the “Restore your page” link.
Hide your account
Why exactly are we hiding it? Because in fact it is not deleted anywhere, but it allows you to make sure that strangers do not bother you at all. What needs to be done?
Again we go to our once favorite website, go through authorization and again click on the “My Settings” menu item.
Instead of the “General” tab, select “Privacy”. Here we see a whole list of settings. In each of them you need to select “Nobody” or “Only Me”. This will help you close your page from strangers, prohibit them from sending you private messages, and hide information about you. And one more thing - do not forget to save the settings, otherwise they will not be saved.
The last step is to delete all posts from the wall, photos and avatars. Now everyone will think that your page has been deleted. This is exactly what we wanted.
Have something to say? Well, don’t be patient, speak up!
