How to delete a photo from a correspondence (dialogue) on VKontakte (VK)
In order to delete a photo or picture from correspondence with someone you need to:
- Open a dialogue with the desired photo and click on the photo (that is, open it).
- Below under the photo you need to find and click Delete
- The picture will be deleted and the person you sent it to will not see it. But it is important to remember that saving a photo from a VK conversation will not be difficult, and then deleting the picture in the correspondence will not help in any way, since it will be saved on the computer’s hard drive. Therefore, be careful when sending a photo so as not to send it to someone who should not see it.
Deleting photos on the VKontakte social network is a common thing that every fairly active user has probably encountered. However, despite this, many still only know the basic methods of erasing once downloaded images, while there are other methods.
The process of deleting images directly depends on the type by which the photo was uploaded to social media. net. But even taking this into account, the VK.com administration has created an intuitive toolkit for getting rid of pictures from a variety of places, regardless of the specific case. If for some reason the built-in tools are not enough for you, there are also third-party applications that complement the standardized set of functions.
Deleting a VKontakte photo
When deleting your own photos on the VK.com website, it is important to understand that the deletion process is related to the method of uploading the image. Also, in some cases, even if you delete an image file, it will still be available to all or some users.
Using the standard functionality of VKontakte, in fact, you can delete absolutely any photo you personally uploaded without any problems.
To avoid problems in the process of deleting pictures from this social network, it is extremely important to follow all instructions. This is especially true for non-standard methods directly related to the use of third-party add-ons.
If for some reason you encounter difficulties, it is recommended to double-check all actions taken, regardless of the type of deletion. You should also know that you can make the process of deleting photos easier by sorting them by album yourself when uploading. Because of this, you have the opportunity to mass delete photos based on some common characteristic.
Method 1: Single Delete
The technique for deleting photos individually involves using the standard VKontakte functionality for each individual image. This applies exclusively to those pictures that you uploaded to the “Photos” section on your personal page.
When you delete image files, be careful as they cannot be recovered.
- Go to the VKontakte website and go to the “Photos” section through the main menu on the left side of the screen.
Regardless of the download location, be it the Downloaded section or any other album, select and open the image you want to delete.
Once the image is open, find the toolbar at the very bottom.
You can find out that the photo has been successfully erased using the corresponding inscription at the top of the screen, as well as through a slightly modified interface in which the use of the bottom toolbar will no longer be available.
If you deleted it by accident or simply changed your mind, the VKontakte administration provides its users with the opportunity to restore newly erased pictures. To do this, opposite the inscription “Photo deleted”, click the “Recover” button.
- By clicking the indicated button, the image will be completely restored, including all marks and location.
- To confirm all previously performed actions and, therefore, permanently delete the photo, refresh the page using the F5 key or the context menu (RMB) of the browser.
