How to remove yourself from subscribers in a contact if you are no longer interested in the person or were the first to unfriend him on a social network? There are several options depending on the situation: let’s start with how people end up among subscribers:
- You have submitted a friend request. Another user did not confirm the friendship. The application remains hanging, and you see updates to the profile you are subscribed to.
- A similar situation occurs when adding to a celebrity who is ready to accept a few as friends, so he automatically or initially sends you to follow.
- You have been removed from friends: a short acquaintance, lack of communication, end of a relationship - there are enough reasons. For the person who deleted, the interaction ends, and account updates are displayed in your feed.
#1. From computer
The easiest way to remove people from VK subscribers is to delete them by logging into your social network page from a laptop or personal computer. For this:
- Find the block of the same name on the page - it is located in the same line where the number of your friends, photos and videos is indicated.
- On the page that opens you will see all these people in the form of avatars. Hover your cursor over the photo of each of the unwanted users and click on the cross icon that appears - this way you send people to the blacklist.
- Click Continue.
- Ready!
By the way, pay attention to the difference in the meanings of “subscribers” and “friend”. If you decide to delete a friend, this does not mean that you automatically remove him from your subscribers! Keep this in mind when you decide to clean out your contacts list.
#2. From a mobile device
If you prefer to use a mobile phone to communicate on social networks, then you can remove people who follow you directly from it. Unfortunately, the mobile version of the VK website does not have such a function, so we advise you to use the mobile application.
- Go to the “Profile” section (the little man icon in the lower right menu);
- Under your photo, find the item that indicates the number of people following you and click on it.
- You can also get to the desired menu through your friends list. And install a filter there.
- Select the name you want to delete from the list.
- You will be taken to the user page. In the upper right corner, touch the three dots.
- Tap the "Block" command.
If you do not want to leave deleted people on the blacklist, then within a day you can go into it using the settings and cross them off from this list - this way users will be able to visit your account if they wish, but will no longer be able to subscribe. If you want to delete blocked VKontakte subscribers forever, then simply do not return them from the blacklist - this will guarantee you complete freedom from these people.
How to remove a person from an emergency
By placing a deleted user in an emergency, you can permanently sever all ties to your account. To do this you will need to remove it from there.
How to clear the list of blocked users:
- Go to your account settings.
- Next, in the settings menu, select “Black List”.
- There we find a person who needs to be removed. This can be done manually or using the built-in search.
- Click the “Remove from list” button.
After this, you can immediately check whether the user has been removed from the list of followers. To do this, it is enough to compare their initial quantity with the final one.

How to delete all VKontakte subscribers at once?
Unfortunately, the VKontakte developers did not provide a way to delete all subscribers on the social network at once, in an official way. But enterprising social network users found a loophole. The VKCleanACC program was created specifically for this purpose. But we warn you right away, the software has nothing to do with the site, so it’s up to you to decide whether to use it or not. Like any other third-party service, it can be infected with a virus. If suddenly you decide to use VKCleanACC at your own risk, download it to your computer. Then launch and log in to the network.
In the delete friends tab, check the box next to the “Blocked” block and start.
Is it possible to hide your subscribers?
Perhaps you do not want to delete all VKontakte subscribers from your phone or laptop at once, but, for example, you simply decided to make sure that some of them are not visible to other users. For example, your young man is too jealous and constantly expresses his dissatisfaction with the presence of other men among your friends or those who are simply interested in your profile. In this case, you can easily hide some people from this list at will, and they will not lose the ability to see your publications. Here's how to do it:
- Log in to your account settings.
- Find the "Privacy" section and open it.
- Select "Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions."
- Check the boxes next to the names of the users you want to hide.
- Click on “Save Changes”.
Who are all these people and should they be removed from VK?
We strongly recommend that before deleting a person from subscribers in VK (in the mobile version or from a computer), you understand the question of who the social network denotes with this unusual word.
This list includes all those users who have ever sent us a friend request on VK, but we did not answer them with consent and did not click on the corresponding button. Now they can follow our updates, read VK posts and look at photos, since all actions on our pages fall into their feeds.
And, before you have tried to clear your VKontakte subscribers and remove all unnecessary ones, we want to remind you that the more users visit your account, the higher the rating of your VK page. If you are still sure that you want to permanently remove a person from your VKontakte subscribers, then above you will find detailed instructions on how to remove someone using various devices. Therefore, we recommend that you first look at your subscribers, and then decide on their fate.
By the way, you probably already noticed that such a group of people exists not only in private profiles, but also in communities. So it is possible that for group owners, information on how to get rid of subscribers on VK will be even more relevant, especially since deletion does not take much time.
What is it for
It is worth noting that a large number of subscribers provides certain advantages. With their number, the indicator of popularity within the social network grows (see how to make a VK page popular). This way, you will be ranked higher than other users in search results. If popularity allows, your page may be included in the list of interesting pages. This way, other users will see you, become interested, and perhaps start communicating with you, or simply try to add you as a friend.
But if you are not interested in all this, and you do not want strangers to follow your page updates, then simply remove them from your subscribers. Now I will show you how this can be done.
How to clear group subscribers in VKontakte?
So, if you are an administrator or owner of a public page, we recommend that you clean out the block of participants once every certain period of time (month/year). First of all, people who break the rules, as well as “dead” souls (blocked and deleted users) should be subjected to merciless repression. So, how to delete blocked and simply unwanted subscribers on VKontakte forever?
- Login to the group;
- Under the avatar you will see the “Management” block, click on it;
- So select the “Participants” section;
- In the list, find those you want to get rid of and click the appropriate button.
- Please note that before you refresh the page, the action can be rolled back.
By the way, if you ask: “Is it possible to delete group subscribers from your phone in VKontakte?”, then the answer will also be in the affirmative. In principle, the instructions will be the same. Only the “Manage” item will be hidden behind the gear in the upper right corner.
Then we also go to the “Participants” section.
Then click on the 3 dots next to subscribers and feel free to remove him from subscribers.

Mass deletion of VK friends
A very dubious, but still sometimes relevant solution can be mass clearing of the friends list, including active pages. We described this method in more detail in a separate instruction using the example of using a special script for the web version and a computer program.

This approach will certainly allow you to get rid of the “dogs”, but after this you may have problems adding the necessary users back to your friends. Additionally, if deleted pages are moved to the Followers section, they will still have a detrimental effect on your profile, and you will have to manually clear the list.
