On the VKontakte social network, every user, without any exceptions, can listen to and add various music to their playlist. At the same time, during the long-term use of your page, many unnecessary compositions accumulate in audio recordings that require deletion. All methods associated with the deletion process boil down to the need to use specialized third-party add-ons that significantly expand the standard functionality of the social network. In addition, the standard capabilities of VKontakte should not be completely discounted.
In most cases, once multiple deletion of music files has been initiated, it is impossible to stop the process. Be careful!
How to delete all VKontakte audio recordings at once?
Despite the complexity of the task at hand, there are 2 effective methods for destroying a list of audio recordings:
- using a special script;
- using third-party applications and extensions (for example VKOpt).
It is important to emphasize that using the second approach may become completely unavailable. Now it allows you to achieve the desired result, but the introduction of new functions by the VK administration or simply carrying out an update can limit access to third-party services. And then users will have to look for new programs or wait for updates to existing ones so that their functionality meets the changed requirements. Or hope that people working on the development of the social network have expanded the capabilities of accounts and added additional functions that allow full editing of each section.
Useful information
If you deleted a VKontakte page and then restored access to it, then all existing materials (audio recordings, photographs, dialogues, etc.) will remain unchanged.
Are you planning to delete a group in contact? Clear her wall, delete subscribers in her contacts, destroy photo albums and erase all added audio recordings. All of the above actions are performed in the same ways as when working with your own page.
Unfortunately, in this case you will not be able to delete the track yourself. You can remove it from the list of audio recordings, but it will still be available through a site search. For a solution to this problem, it is better to contact the VK administration - only they can make music inaccessible for finding and listening through the site.

Script for deleting audio recordings on VKontakte 2021
The most effective method of destroying a track list is to use a special script. Users who use it will not have to think about how to delete all audio recordings on VK, since it allows you to quickly achieve your goal. To get rid of songs that have become unnecessary, you will need:
- Copy javascript script:(function(){var a = document.getElementsByClassName("audio"); i=0;inter=setInterval(function(){Audio.deleteAudio(a[i++].childNodes[1].name); if(i>a.length)clearInterval(inter)},500); })().
- Log into your account and open a page with a list of saved audio.
- Scroll the list to the most recent track.
- Press the F12 key and wait for the special panel to open.
- Switch to the tab that mentions the console.
- Paste the copied script and press enter.
- Wait for the running process to complete.
- Close the panel.
- Refresh the page to ensure the desired result is achieved.
The main advantage of the described approach is its versatility. It works when other methods lose their effectiveness.
Method 1: standard music deletion
VKontakte has standard, but rather poor functionality that allows users to delete previously added songs. This method is the least promising and is only suitable for selective removal.
This is essentially the only method suitable for deleting multiple songs.
- Go to the VKontakte website and through the main menu go to the “Audio Recordings” section.
- Hover your mouse over any song you want to delete and click on the cross icon that appears with the hint “Delete audio recording.”
- After deletion, a plus sign will appear next to the composition, and the line itself will turn white.
- In order for deleted tracks to leave the playlist permanently, you need to refresh the page.
The main disadvantage of this method lies directly in the need to manually delete each composition. At the same time, this negative factor is positive, since the entire removal process is under your personal control. In addition, you can easily restore a song you just deleted and it will remain in its original place.
How to delete music on VK all at once from your phone?
Owners of smartphones cannot use the described method, since it is intended exclusively for browsers. It will allow you to quickly clear the list of songs on VK from your computer, but will not bring the desired result to owners of other devices (where it is inconvenient to use the browser). They will have to think about how to delete all the music on VK at once using another method. The only way out of this situation is to install a special application. But you will have to look for it yourself. To prevent your search from causing problems, you should:
- determine the effectiveness of the program in advance in specialized forums;
- download files only from trusted sources;
- use antiviruses and other security programs.
Additionally, you can create a backup copy of your data or a system restore point so that unexpected difficulties do not lead to dire consequences.
Carefully and scrupulously
The social network VKontakte offers its own mechanism for deleting audio recordings, but it is hardly suitable for people who value their time, since it allows the elimination of each composition separately. But this method takes place and, therefore, requires lighting, let’s consider it step by step:
- Let's open our page "In contact with" and go to the audio recordings: to do this, click on "Music» in the left menu
or " Audio recordings ". - Place the cursor over the composition to be eliminated and select the cross in the graphical menu that opens.
- We click on the cross and the audio recording visually noticeably fades. This painful pallor is nothing more than the last chance given by robots to humans to recover deleted media material.
If you come to your senses and decide that without this musical accompaniment, life will lose all meaning, then simply move the cursor over the audio recording again and click the plus sign.
If the decision is irrevocable, then you can continue to delete track after track, and when the process is completed, just refresh the page and all the deleted music will disappear forever.
Now it is necessary to consider more drastic methods of musical elimination in order to minimize time costs.
How to delete an audio recording on VK that you uploaded?
The process of deleting a new song that has been uploaded by a user is no different from deleting other music from a playlist, especially if it concerns one or two songs. But even clearing a large list will not cause difficulties, since for this you can use the instructions already suggested above or install a special program. When choosing the second option, you will need (using the VKOpt utility as an example):
- Download, install and run the software.
- Visit your own Vk account and go to the section with audio recordings.
- Find in the right panel the added function that offers to delete the entire list of songs.
- Click the button that appears and wait for the process to complete.
- Check the result by reloading the tab.
It is worth emphasizing that it is not possible to recover deleted records. You will have to search for them and add them again manually.
Method 2: Browser Console
In this case, we will use special code written to automate the process of deleting audio recordings. For these purposes, it is recommended to download and install the Google Chrome Internet browser, as it provides the most convenient code editor.
As a rule, any browser has a console for editing code. However, it often has a limited or overly complicated interface.
- First copy the special code that automates the deletion of all songs.
- While on the VK.com website, go to the “Audio Recordings” section through the main menu.
- Be sure to scroll through the entire list of audio files.
- Next you need to open the console. To do this, right-click anywhere in the browser window and select “View Code”.
- Switch to the “Console” tab in the code editor that opens.
- Paste the code you copied earlier and press Enter.
- Next, all songs on the page will be instantly deleted.
- You can restore songs you just deleted.
- For audio recordings to leave your music list, you need to refresh the page.
document.querySelectorAll('.audio_act._audio_act_delete').forEach(audioDeleteButton => audioDeleteButton.click());
To speed up page scrolling, you can use the “PageDown” on your keyboard.
In the case of Google Chrome, you can use the standard key combination “CTRL + SHIFT + I” , designed to open the code view window.
If in the process of deleting music from your playlist some songs remain, it is recommended to repeat the above chain of actions after refreshing the page.
Today, this method is the most relevant, since it is supported by any browsers and does not require you to perform any particularly complex actions. In addition, during the deletion process, you still have the opportunity to restore deleted songs, which is quite useful if you decide to clear the list in order to refill it.
Note: When using the script, errors may occur due to recent updates to the site page code.
Unfortunately, currently add-ons for Internet browsers that expand functionality without the use of scripts do not provide the ability to delete music. This especially applies to the well-known browser add-on VKopt, which is still adapting to the new interface of this social network.
How to delete listened music on VK?
Knowing how to delete all VKontakte audio at once, you won’t have to think about how to quickly delete recently listened tracks. Moreover, if the account owner did not independently add them to the playlist, they are not saved anywhere. That is, there will be nothing to delete. But, if you want to destroy all traces indicating that you listened to certain songs, you should delete likes under such songs (if any) and clear part of your browser history. As a result, none of your friends or relatives will be able to guess what songs the user was listening to.
From mobile device cache
When you listen to songs from VK on a mobile device, their files are downloaded to the cache. This allows you to replay tracks without internet access, but it does use up memory space. To clear all entries from the cache in the VK application, select the “Settings” menu item. Go to “General” and scroll to the “Clear music cache” function, click on it. The cache is deleted and space is freed up on the smartphone.
In the future, you can disable caching in the settings if you do not need the feature.
