Ways to delete a message before it is read
There are different situations when the user does not want the sent message to be read. Sometimes a message is sent under the influence of emotions, thoughtlessly or containing offensive language towards the interlocutor. Some people simply get the recipient wrong and send the text to the wrong person. Sometimes your account gets hacked. Then the page sends messages to different people from scammers.
A few years ago, the social network only allowed users to remove unnecessary sentences from conversations. But since the second half of 2017, VK users have the opportunity to erase a message for themselves and their interlocutor or edit it. This advanced functionality allows you to greatly limit the number of unwanted messages in correspondence.
Removing unwanted information as usual
The simplest and most convenient method of deleting unwanted messages for all participants in the correspondence is the functionality of a social network. It allows you to erase an unwanted message from the recipient if 24 hours have not passed since it was sent. Otherwise, it will not be possible to remove the message from the dialogue for all participants in the conversation.
To erase a message in the standard way, perform the following steps:
- Open a window with personal correspondence where you need to remove the message.
- Click on the unnecessary message so that a check mark appears to the left of it.
- A button with an image of a trash can will appear above. They press on it.
- A window will open in which you need to select the “Delete for everyone” option.
- Then click on the “Delete” button.
Unnecessary messages will be erased from the dialogue. If the recipient has not yet read it, he will not know about it.
Delete videos, music and pictures
Messages containing videos, photos or music can also be erased from correspondence. Moreover, the social network allows you to do this even after a day has passed from the moment of sending. The only condition is that these files must be taken from the sender's page. To do this, you need to remove the source from your page, a copy of which was sent to your interlocutor.
Example of removing unwanted video:
- From the main page go to the “Video” tab.
- Find the one you want to erase from the conversation in the list of downloaded video files and select it.
- Then click on the “Delete” button in the settings.
- Reload the page.
Sent unnecessary photos and music will be deleted in a similar way.
This method has only one drawback. The image, music or video disappears completely from the profile page. But you can download them back later. They will have a different identifier, so the interlocutor will not have access to them in the dialogue.
Editing messages
In this case, the problematic message is not completely deleted, but corrected. Then the interlocutor sees the already corrected version. But here there is also a rule according to which only those messages can be corrected that have not yet been sent within 24 hours. It doesn’t matter whether the interlocutor saw it or hasn’t had time to read it yet.
Procedure to correct the message:
- On the main profile page, open the “Messages” tab.
- Go to the window with the desired dialogue.
- They find an unwanted message and hover over it. At the same time, an image of a pencil appears on the right. They press on him.
- It becomes possible to correct phrases as needed.
- After adjustments, press the “Enter” key to send the edited version to the interlocutor.
Sending spam
This method involves sending the second participant in the dialogue several messages with links that may have dubious content. Such messages are called spam. In this case, the social network's automated spam detection system comes into play. It removes the dialogue completely.
There is no full guarantee that this method will work. In addition, the page from which such messages were sent may be blocked or temporarily frozen for unwanted actions. Therefore, when using this method, you need to be aware of the possible consequences.
You can do it differently. All unwanted messages are marked as spam. To do this, click on the crossed out circle after highlighting the message. In this case, the result is also not guaranteed. In addition, the interlocutor may perceive such actions in his own way.
Method No. 2. Edit unwanted message
The second method allows us to correct the message sent to the interlocutor in VK by editing it. If using the first method we completely get rid of the problematic message, in the case of the second method we simply edit it as we need. In this case, the “24 hours” rule, which I already mentioned above, also applies - if a day has passed since the problematic message was sent, then you will not be able to edit it.
- Go to the window of personal correspondence with the interlocutor in VK (the “Messages” tab on the main page).
- Select the spam message you sent, and then click on the pencil display to the right of it (it will appear when you hover over the message).
- All you have to do is edit your message as necessary, and then save the modified version by pressing “Enter”.
Deleting correspondence from mobile devices
If a person uses the VK social network from a phone or tablet, this usually happens through a mobile application. It has limited functionality. Therefore, when destroying unwanted phrases, there is no deletion option for all participants in the dialogue. The erased message will still remain with the interlocutor and he will be able to see it.
To erase unnecessary offers from your mobile device, you should use a browser. It is used to access a social networking site without using the mobile version. There, after entering the login and password, the user ends up on his page. Then they act according to the already proposed algorithm. But to call up an additional menu, click on the three dots. A drop-down list appears from which you select “Delete for everyone”. Then click on the “Delete” button.
Deleting all messages at once
To erase the entire dialogue completely, it will take very little time and a few steps. Having opened the window with correspondence, point to the three dots in the upper right corner. A drop-down list appears, from which you select “Clear message history”. Then a warning window appears. Click the “Delete” button. Such actions allow you to erase the dialogue only from the owner of the page. The second participant in the conversation will retain all messages.
If you need to delete a lot of dialogs, it’s easier to use a special bot program called Sobot. Install it on your computer and add an account by entering your profile information. For users who do not use a proxy, set the slider to the active position.
Then go to the “Functions” tab and select the “Clear dialogs” option. The switch is set to the active position and the “Continue” button is pressed. The program will automatically delete all conversations in your profile. But you need to take into account that all messages will remain with other participants.
If the recipient has added a person to the “black list,” it will not be possible to delete the message from his page. The correspondence will disappear only in the sender's account.
The social network VK allows its users to remove unnecessary messages so that they disappear for all participants in the dialogue. But for this, the messages must be less than 24 hours old. Messages older than 1 day can only be deleted from your own account.
How to delete VKontakte correspondence completely quickly and easily?
Almost all people use the VKontakte social network, and the functionality of this site is so wide that sometimes you have to look for information on the Internet.
Primarily, this network is used for communication, and the functionality of personal messages also raises many questions.
How to delete VKontakte correspondence completely? One of the most common questions. If you wish, you can delete any messages from your profile. In this article we will show how individual messages and dialogs are deleted, and also explain how to delete all VKontakte dialogs at once .

How to delete all VKontakte dialogues?
If you need to delete all correspondence from your profile, it is better to use special programs. Manually deleting messages and conversations will take too long. The simplest program for deleting VKontakte correspondence is VkBot.
After launching it and adding a profile, go to Profile>Clean>Manage personal messages:
The following list of functions will open. You can delete conversations, leave some of them, clear correspondence with people you haven't added as friends, or delete conversations with a small number of messages.

If you learn about all the possibilities of VKontakte, you will understand how well thought out this project is.
How to delete a sent message from VKontakte correspondence so that it is not read
Unfortunately, VK itself is designed in such a way that you will not be able to delete correspondence from the dialogue when you want to. If you try to enter any conversation and try to do this, then the sent messages will be removed only from you. The recipient will have everything intact and will be able to see and read them at any time. The most annoying thing is that you won’t even be able to edit it.
But there is one caveat. If less than 24 hours have passed since the message was written, then you can make sure that the interlocutor does not see it and it also disappears from view. To do this you need to do the following.
- We go into the dialogue and click on the latest message, which is not yet one day old. It doesn’t matter whether it will be a regular post, photo, video or link. After that, look up and click on the trash can icon.
- In the normal case, your message will be deleted immediately, but if the message is new, a window will appear in front of you confirming that you really want to delete the correspondence. In order for the message to be deleted not only from you, but also from the interlocutor, you need to check the “Delete for everyone” checkbox, and then simply confirm your intention.
Even though 24 hours is essentially not enough, I think it is quite enough for those people who accidentally got confused and sent a message to the wrong person or did it unintentionally. And it will be very cool if the interlocutor does not see it and does not have time to read it. This can be recognized by the dark shade.
Possible problems when deleting unread messages in VK
Nowadays, removing unnecessary messages from dialogs causes almost no problems, but it is worth highlighting the main ones:
- The unwanted material has been removed from the general conversation, but the person has an attachment from it. Solution: the user simply saved a photo, video or other media file from the message before you deleted it. All that remains is to ask him to delete it or to come to terms with the fact that the person managed to see information that he should not have seen.
- The message was deleted, but the person was later able to forward the text I deleted. Solution: The SMS was sent by him to a third party before you deleted it in a dialogue with this person, or you deleted it only on your page (you did not specify the “For everyone” parameter).
You need to check what you write carefully before sending it.

How to cancel a sent message from VKontakte from the mobile version
If suddenly you wrote the wrong thing from your mobile phone, and now you want to delete the message in VK so that it is deleted from your interlocutor, so that he does not see or read it, then there is one caveat. When you log into the official VKontakte application on Android, you will be greatly surprised, since even if you delete a recent correspondence, no confirmation window will appear. That is, if you remove the entry from your phone, it will still remain in your friend’s conversation.
But there is a way out. To do this, just go to the vk.com website not through the official application, but through a browser, entering your username and password. And then we proceed according to the same scheme as for the computer. Only in this case you will need to select an additional menu in the form of three dots, where from the drop-down list select “Delete”.
Now, before deleting a recently made message, you will see a familiar window where you will need to check the box next to “Delete for everyone”. After this, the recipient’s dialogue will change just like yours.
Why you may need to clear sent messages
This need may arise in a situation when we do not want the recipient of our message to read the message sent to him. This can happen for the following reasons:
- We sent the message under the influence of emotions (affect);
- Wrote a thoughtless message;
- We sent words that somehow insulted or humiliated a person, which we soon regretted;
- Some kind of viral malware sends messages on our behalf.
If previously VK functionality only allowed you to delete a sent message from yourself. Since mid-2021, VKontakte users have been able to delete this message for both parties, as well as edit the sent message. This made it possible to significantly limit the receipt by the addressee of messages unwanted by the sender.

Let's look at the currently existing methods that allow you to delete a message in VK completely from both the sender and the recipient.
How to delete all messages at once
But here you will really have to face difficulties, since if you try to delete the entire conversation, then you will eliminate the entire dialogue. But as you probably already guessed, the addressee will retain all the correspondence. In this case, even deleting your account will not help. Therefore, you only have 1 option: mark every message in the conversation as spam. To do this, select each message so that there is a check mark next to it, and click on the crossed out circle icon (spam). Of course, this option is not 100%, but in many cases it helps to remove the entire correspondence.
There are simply no other options. Perhaps you can try these steps:
- Borrow a friend’s phone under the pretext of calling or playing with a toy, and in the meantime, eliminate the correspondence.
- Ask a friend to brotherly delete an unread message or do it yourself from his phone.
Of course I'm joking. It is unlikely that you will be able to pull this off and most likely your friend will not give you a phone number for such purposes. You will have to accept the fact that the entire conversation and old messages will be saved, or pray that the spam marking trick will work.
Questions
Well, I would like to answer a few questions that are asked quite often in this topic.
Will the interlocutor be shown that there was a message that was deleted?
Thank God no. As soon as you perform all the manipulations described above, your friend will immediately disappear, even if he had an open dialogue with you at that time. There will be no traces left after this.
What should I do if I deleted a message and forgot to check the box?
No problem. All you need is to click on the “Restore” link, and then do the same manipulations, checking the box in the right place.
If I delete my profile, will the recipient still have everything I wrote?
Yes, all dialogues remain regardless of whether you have blocked your profile or not. It’s just that in this case, instead of your avatar there will be a dog, and further correspondence will no longer be available.
What should I do if the message was forwarded to someone else?
If suddenly the interlocutor has already shared your message with someone else before 24 hours have passed, and you want to cancel everything, then in this case it will disappear only from you and the person to whom you sent it. And for the one who received the repost in a personal message, nothing will disappear, and nothing can be done about it.
Is it possible to delete a sent message if the recipient has already read it?
Yes, it doesn’t matter at all whether the recipient read the message or not. The main thing is that 24 hours have not passed since sending.
How to save the original version of a message in case a person deletes it?
If they sent you something interesting and you are afraid that the person will change their mind and cancel it, then you can save the original version. And you don’t need to copy the text and paste it into a text document. You can simply forward this message to yourself by reposting it.
Well, that's all for me. I hope that now everything is clear to you and you will no longer have any questions about this matter. By the way, if you want to find a permanent job related to social networks, and specifically VKontakte, then I strongly recommend that you take training here. Register right now and you will receive the first 4 lessons completely free, so that you can experience and evaluate the amazing quality of training.
How to erase a “letter” using a PC?
If you need to delete correspondence in VK so that the interlocutor also deletes it, then it will be more convenient to use the computer version of the social network. networks. To do this you will need:
- Open the desired conversation.
- Click the mouse to select the entry.
- A panel will appear at the top of the conversation window - find and click on the icon with the trash can.
- Check the “For everyone” checkbox and confirm deletion.
If you select several entries, you can delete messages (SMS) “VKontakte” with one click so that the interlocutor does not read them. However, this only applies to SMS that were added within the last 24 hours; after 24 hours, deletion, unfortunately, will no longer be possible.
And one more condition. You must be part of the conversation. That is, for example, you left the conversation out of emotion, cleared all data on attendance and passwords. But a little time passed and we realized that we had said too much. What should we do then? First, you will need to return to the conversation that you deleted, and then start cleaning up your traces.
Important! Before you get rid of SMS, think twice! It is, of course, possible to restore a deleted message, but not all and not always. And the time spent will be a great waste if you do not get the result you are interested in!
How to delete a VKontakte message?
Let's try to do this in the full version (from a computer), and working through a mobile application.
First from PC
Log in to your VKontakte page (login instructions), go to the “Messages” section, and open a dialogue with the desired user.
In the correspondence window, you need to find and select the message that you want to destroy. Scroll through all the text, find the one you need, and select it by clicking on it with the mouse cursor. The message will be highlighted and a menu will appear at the top of the screen. Here you need to click on the trash can icon (delete).
Note. You can select multiple messages at the same time. It is enough to click on them one by one with the cursor.
Messages will be deleted.
Note . Immediately after this, a recovery link is available. It is active until you close the dialog or refresh the page. With its help you can restore the text of correspondence. We discussed this issue in detail in the article - how to view deleted messages in VK.
Also keep in mind that in this way, the text of the message is deleted only from you. At the same time, the interlocutor remains with the full version of your dialogue. By the way, this allows you to restore data. But you can also destroy a conversation with your interlocutor - below we will look at how to delete a sent message.
Now let's try to destroy a separate message, working through the VKontakte application
We launch the client on your smartphone. Login to your page. If you have forgotten your login and password, here are instructions to help you.
Open the desired dialogue. Next you need to proceed as follows.
If we need to delete one message, then we need to click on it (short finger press on the screen). An additional window will appear - here click “Delete”. You will then be asked to confirm the operation. Click “Delete” again. The selected text will be destroyed.
Please note that when working through applications, there will be no recovery link - it will be impossible to cancel the operation.
If we are talking about several messages, then you need to click on any of them and hold your finger on the screen until the text becomes highlighted and a menu appears at the top. In the same way, select all the necessary messages, and in the menu click on the trash can icon (delete). In the pop-up window, confirm the operation by clicking on the “Delete” button.
How to remove a message on your computer
Before describing the necessary actions, it should be said that you can only cancel a sent text within 24 hours. After this time, the message will remain in the person’s dialogue until he himself wants to get rid of it.
To delete a conversation before your opponent sees it, you need to:
- Log in to the VKontakte website.
- Go to the “Messages” section and open the required dialog.
- Click on the text to highlight it.
- A trash can icon will appear at the top, click on it.
- Oh and click on the blue “Delete” button.
The procedure is completed, the message has been erased for both users. Using this method, you can delete both unread and already viewed messages.
Reference. Thanks to the editing function, you can change the message that was sent. To do this, hover the cursor over the text and click on the pencil icon that appears. After making changes, click the checkmark to the right of the input field. “(Ed.)” will appear next to the message, and the date it was edited will be displayed when you hover your cursor over it.
Clearing chat history with an individual user
If you want to completely delete the text of your messages in the selected dialogue, you can use a special function.
Let's open the dialogue. At the top of the window, expand the menu, and here click “Clear message history.”
“Clear message history” function
We receive a notification that the operation cannot be cancelled. We agree and click on the “Delete” button. The text of your messages will be completely erased.
Deleting VKontakte correspondence
But your pen pal will have a copy. What to do with it? More on this below.
How to delete a sent VKontakte message from an interlocutor?
As I noted above, by deleting data from the dialogue, you only affected your copy of the correspondence. The original original always remained with the interlocutor. Therefore, such a procedure did not make much sense. But recently the developers added the ability to delete sent messages. Using this function, you destroyed the text completely. And if the interlocutor did not have time to read the dialogue, after using the new tool, we cleared the text sent by mistake, and it was no longer possible to see it.
There is a limitation to this feature - it only works for messages that were sent within the last 24 hours. It won't work for older people.
Let's try again in two ways.
Trying to delete sent text from computer
The process is almost identical. We go to the desired dialogue, select the messages that we plan to completely delete. In the top menu, click “Delete”.
The next step requires special attention. In the pop-up window, we need to check the “Delete for everyone” option. By activating this option, we will also erase the data of our interlocutor. Don’t forget to click on the “Delete” button to complete the operation.
Deleting a sent message from an interlocutor on VKontakte
From the phone by analogy
Everything is the same here. Select the desired message and switch to delete mode. Here you checked the “Delete for everyone” option and erased it.
We delete a message in VK for everyone, through the mobile application
Method number 4. Be a spammer
Another way to completely delete a message on VK so that it is also deleted from the interlocutor is to send the interlocutor numerous links of dubious content (spam). The automated spam detection system in VK can identify your dialogue as spam and delete it completely. There is no complete guarantee that this will happen, and there may be undesirable consequences for you as a spam sender (your page may be blocked). Therefore, this method should be used only in extreme cases, fully aware of the dubious result.
You can also take an alternative route by marking all messages in your dialogue, and then clicking on the button with a crossed out circle (“This is spam”). Again, no one guarantees you a result in this case, especially in a situation where the person has been your VK friend for several years.
Mark messages in the message window as spam
How to delete all VKontakte messages at once
If you want to completely clear your dialogs, then you need to use the Sobot program. Below the whole process will be discussed step by step.
Download and run the program
Go to the official website using the link below:
In the upper right corner, click on the “Download” button.
Download the Sobot program
For our purposes, the free version is sufficient.
The archive will be downloaded to your computer. Open it and run the SocialBot.exe file there.
Launching the Sobot program
Add your account
In the program window, go to the “Accounts” tab. Here we click the “Add account” button. In the next step, select the social network VKontakte. In the form, enter your login and password, and activate the “No proxy” option. Now click on the “Continue” button.
You will receive a message indicating that 1 account has been added. Click on the finish button to move to the next step. If everything was done correctly, your profile will be displayed in the list. And there should be a status of “Authorization passed.”
We completely delete VKontakte correspondence
Now let's see if it's possible to delete all dialogs at once. This tool is available in the “Features” section. Go there and select VKontakte. In the list of options that opens, we need to find the “Clear dialogs” section. Here we activate the switch to the “On” position, and click on the “Continue” button. The uninstallation process will begin.
How to delete a message from another person
I assume you know how to delete messages in your own conversation. Today you need to select one or more messages (hold ctrl and select) and click on Trash (in 2021, instead of a button, an icon).
Of course, nothing will be deleted from the interlocutor in this way. If you want to remove a photo or video (which is uploaded directly, not from the list) from the dialogue, I’ll gladly tell you that this is possible. You need to open what you want to remove and click Delete. Let's look at the image.
With audio recordings and videos (which are from your list on the page), everything is more tricky. To make them disappear from the conversation, you must first remove them from your playlist. Documents are not deleted immediately, but after some time.
Let's move on to text messages and links. It's even more difficult here. We immediately discard the options of hacking the interlocutor’s page, because this is from the realm of fantasy, in any case, the message will be read before you get the login and password. The next method, which is also found on the Internet, is to mark the messages of the recipient of your “left” letter as spam. Today this will not work; VKontakte algorithms will not consider regular correspondence as spam and will not delete the entire dialogue. The last option left to delete a message from another user is to spam him. In this dialogue, where you sent the wrong letter, you need to add all sorts of links to suspicious resources (as far as your imagination and search for various nonsense is enough). The downside is that you may be blocked for spam, but the entire conversation will be deleted. As a last resort, you can always tell your interlocutor that your page was hacked and it wasn’t you. And apologize to him. In the general pile of all sorts of links, he may not notice a message that compromises you.
Delete a message completely and permanently
From computer
So far, VKontakte does not allow you to delete sent information from you and your interlocutor whenever you want. At any time, you can eliminate correspondence only in your dialog interface. After such manipulations, your interlocutor retains the data.
But if 24 hours have not passed since the moment of sending, the situation can be corrected. Moreover, if the user does not have time to read the message within 24 hours, he will never read it - it will completely disappear. At least on social networks.
For any formats - text, voice, photo, video - the following scheme of actions works:
Step 1. Go to the desired dialog and click on the sent message that you want to delete. Regardless of when the correspondence took place, a panel with a basket will appear at the top.
Step 2: Click on the cart. If 24 hours have already passed, the data will immediately disappear and you will be able to restore it. But in this case, you only play with one goal - the other user will have the data.
If the day has not yet expired, the dialog box will be slightly different. VK will ask you to choose whether to delete it for everyone or only on its side. Check the box so that the message disappears from the user on the other side. After this, recovery will remain possible for some time - until you close or refresh the page.
A day doesn’t seem like much. But it was impossible to do this before. And the simplicity of the scheme allows you to quickly send a thoughtless message to the trash, even if the user is online.
From phone
If you use the VKontakte application, then you will not be able to get rid of the letter from yourself and your interlocutor - the social network does not yet provide such functionality. You will be able to remove information only on your page. Perhaps the functionality will be expanded later.
The solution is simple - use a mobile browser. The actions are similar - select a block, check the box next to “Delete for everyone” and confirm your intention. The slight difference between the desktop and mobile versions is only in the interface. To get to the liquidator button on your smartphone, you need to click on the ellipsis.
Ways to delete sent messages from correspondence
The interface of the social network Vkontakte provides for deleting messages only from the sender. The addressee will be able to see it in his dialogue. But there is a little trick.
Attention!
Submitted information can be successfully edited and deleted only in the first 24 hours. It is during this period that the edits will be visible to the recipient, but he will not see the deleted letter at all.
Delete the message in the standard way
In order to cover up unwanted traces, you need to perform the following steps:
- enter into dialogue;
- Press to highlight the required message;
- A trash can icon will appear at the top, which is what you need to click on.
If more than a day has passed since sending, the message will be deleted immediately. But don’t delude yourself; your interlocutor can still read it.
If less than a day has passed, a window will appear in which you need to check the “Delete for everyone” option and confirm the action. Done, the interlocutor will not be able to see the mistake.
Edit unwanted message
You can change the contents of the message if it still reaches the right person, but needs editing. In this case, the “24 hour” rule also applies. Editing after 24 hours will not have the desired effect.
Algorithm of actions:
- Go to dialogue.
- Select the required message.
- Click on the pencil icon that appears in the upper right corner.
- It’s a small matter, all that remains is to rewrite the text and press “Enter”.
On a note!
By the color of the message you can determine whether the interlocutor has read it or not. Unopened messages are darker than others in the dialogue, and in the mobile version they are indicated by a circle.
Remove unwanted images, videos and music
You can remove unwanted multimedia information from the message even after 24 hours have passed. But only if it was sent from personal page files.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- find a photo, video or music on the page that should not be visible to the recipient;
- in the media file settings, click “Delete”;
- reload the page.
This method has a significant drawback. The media file is completely removed from the page. But you can download it again. When this operation is performed, the file identifier will change, and it will not appear again in the message.
Be a spammer
There are two options for deleting dialogs in this way, and both of them do not provide a 100% guarantee of a positive result.
The first option involves sending the recipient many links of a dubious nature. An automated social networking system may classify them as spam and delete the entire conversation. But this may not happen. In addition, if this operation is successful, the user’s page may be blocked by the administration.
The second option involves entering the dialogue into spam yourself. This can be done in the following way:
- enter into dialogue;
- select the desired message;
- Find the crossed out circle icon at the top and click on it.
This method does not provide any guarantee of removal. The chances are minimal provided that the recipient has been on the friends list for a long time.
How to delete a message in VK on mobile devices
In order to delete a message from your phone, you must use the browser version of the site. The mobile application does not provide these functions. That is, you can delete text and multimedia from your mobile phone, but you will have to access the site through a browser.
The algorithm of actions does not differ from that described above. There is only one difference. To get to the delete button after the text is selected, you will need to click on the ellipses.
How to delete all correspondence
If you need to clear the entire history (for example, if you want to delete fake messages), then either manually delete all the dialogues, as in the screenshot above, or use a special bot for VK, which will do everything automatically. For example, Sobot.
Download and install the program on your PC, add an account.
Enter your VKontakte profile information. If you are not using a proxy, drag the slider to the “On” position.
The “Clear dialogs” functionality we need is hidden in the “Functions” tab. Move the slider to the “On” position and click “Continue”.
The bot will clear all dialogs. In this case, the information will remain with the interlocutors.
Questions on the topic
Despite the simplicity of the scheme, in some situations you may have some difficulties and questions. We answer them in advance.
- What if you deleted a message without checking the “For everyone” checkbox?
In this case, you need to find, select deleted messages and click on the “Recover” button. After this, the data will appear again - now you can repeat the procedure, but according to all the rules.
This method works if you immediately came to your senses and did not close the page. As soon as the page is refreshed, the ability to restore anything will disappear.
- What should you do if you click on the trash can, but there is no “Delete for everyone” option?
If this item is not present, it means the message is old - sent more than 24 hours ago. To clear the email field for yourself and another user, you can try the spam scheme. There is no other way yet.
- Will the recipient know that the email has been deleted?
In the recipient’s dialogue itself, after your manipulations, there will not be even a hint of the previous data. If the user has not read the letter, then there is a chance that he will not know about it. But perhaps the person has incoming notifications set up - either by email or SMS. Therefore, you shouldn’t hope to completely cover your tracks.
- Will correspondence disappear after the VK account is liquidated?
No, it doesn't work. Even after deleting your account, all your messages will remain visible to another user. Only in front of your avatar there will be a dog, and the recipient will no longer have the opportunity to correspond with you.
- Is it possible to destroy correspondence if you are on the interlocutor’s blacklist?
No, in this case you will be able to remove the message only on your side.
- What if your message was forwarded to someone else?
Correspondence between you and your interlocutor will be lost. The third recipient will keep the letter. For it to disappear, it requires the efforts of the user with whom you personally corresponded.
- Is it possible to delete an unsent message?
Sometimes, due to technical glitches, the message does not reach the recipient. If this happens to you, you will know about it by the red circle with a white exclamation mark next to the letter.
To ensure that the information subsequently does not end up in the hands of another person, click on the round icon and do what is true for a normal situation.
- Are there special applications or services for removing “stale” messages?
No, there are no working tools - neither from VKontakte nor from third-party developers. If you are offered to use the help of any program, be on your guard - it may be a scam. At this point, it is impossible to completely remove messages that are more than a day old.

How to delete VKontakte correspondence?
Those who actively use social networks know that with their help you can communicate with people who are registered in the same social network. So, the social network “Vkontakte” also has such an opportunity. All messages you send or receive are saved in your message history. For some this is a positive feature, but for others it is not, because people often face the problem of account hacking and information theft. It happens that people write confidential information that everyone does not need to know. As for the positive side of this function, it is the ability to remember something. That is why most users of this social network are looking for all sorts of ways to delete messages. As you already understand, today we will consider the question: “how to delete correspondence in a contact?”
In order to delete the entire correspondence you are interested in, you need to click on the “My messages” button on the main page. Then you need to select the dialogue you are interested in and near the “Dialogues” and “View dialogues” tabs, click on the “Actions” button (located in the upper right corner above the dialogue text itself). Next, a kind of menu will appear in front of us, in which we need to find the inscription “Clear message history”. After clicking on this inscription, a warning message will appear on the screen stating that once the history is deleted, it cannot be restored. Having already decided, you need to click on the “Delete” or “Cancel” button. To delete, accordingly, you need to click the “Delete” button, after which the correspondence will be deleted from your account and in general.

How to delete VKontakte correspondence (instructions)
Today I will teach you how to completely or partially destroy correspondence with this or that person on VKontakte, and some of the methods allow you to delete messages not only from your page, but also from the page of your interlocutor .
I suggest moving from smaller to larger. So, let's begin.
The simplest and well-known method, in which a single message is deleted only from your chat, but remains in the recipient’s chat.
To delete one or more messages in this way, simply click once on them with the left mouse button, and then click on the “
Delete ” button that appears at the top.
Just in case, here is a video that shows everything in more detail.
Deleting all correspondence with an individual person.
Let's go to the chat . We move the mouse over three dots (in the old version of the site there was an “ Actions ” link instead) and select the bottommost item “ Clear message history ”.
In this case, the correspondence will remain with the person to whom you wrote , but will disappear from your VKontakte account.
Deleting correspondence from your own and someone else’s PC once and for all.
The only reliable way to delete messages both from your account and from the account of the person you corresponded with is to delete your own page from VKontakte. It is recommended that you first perform the steps described in the previous method.
Alternative ways to delete correspondence from someone else's account.
There are two more ways to delete message history from your interlocutor’s account.
The first is that you need to ask the interlocutor to delete the correspondence on their own.
The 2nd (works every other time) is that you must select each of the messages that was sent to you and mark it as SPAM. From personal experience I can say that this trick works about 60% of the time.
- Go to the chat, mark the messages that the interlocutor sent you.
- Click on the “ This is spam ” button (appears only after at least one message has been flagged).
If I sent a message to my VKontakte interlocutor and it was immediately deleted, will it reach him?
In 99% of cases it will come!
Is it possible to restore correspondence with a person who has permanently deleted or been deleted from VKontakte?
Then there are options. Read the article about recovering deleted correspondence.
Can VKontakte correspondence be evidence of anything in court?
Yes maybe. In most cases, correspondence is considered indirect evidence/evidence, and sometimes direct evidence (if it is proven that the suspect was sitting at the PC at that moment). But provided that access to it is obtained in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation.
