How to delete entries in a VK group - cleaning the wall by hand, with an application

Updated - January 2, 2021 at 1:52 pm

Sometimes, for one reason or another, we need to delete all posts from the VKontakte wall

. Previously, this could be done in the settings in one click.

But some time ago, the VKontakte administration abandoned such a move, citing the fact that attackers, having hacked an account, would delete all the most important things using this technique:

Deleting one entry at a time is also not an option. Too long, especially if you have been running the page for several years:

But there is still a way out of this situation. Doing this is much easier than deleting a VKontakte message.

How to delete posts from a VKontakte wall

The first method is unstable , since the script slows down with the new design.

1. Go to your VKontakte page.

2. Enter the script into the address bar of your browser.

java***script:var h = document.getElementsByClassName("ui_actions_menu _ui_menu");
var i = 0;function del_wall(){var fn_str = h .getElementsByTagName(“a”)[0].onclick.toString();
var fn_arr_1 = fn_str.split(“{“); var fn_arr_2 = fn_arr_1[1].split(";"); eval(fn_arr_2[0]);if(i == h.length){clearInterval(int_id)}else{i++}};var int_id=setInterval(del_wall,500); 3. Remove the asterisks *** and press the Enter key.

Immediately after these steps, all your posts on the wall will be deleted automatically.

By the way, now you can hide all posts in the archive of VK posts. And you don't need to delete anything. Just a couple of simple steps (see article).

How to find your messages in groups or on VK pages

It often happens that we remember that we left a comment. We even remember its contents. But they forgot whose page it was written on. It's OK. The Vkontakte developers have created a special section where all your comments that you previously recorded are located.

They can be found like this:

Open your page and select “News” from the main menu;
Select now on the right in the “Comments” block;
The topics in which you have left your posts will be displayed here. Open the one you want and find your message;
Everyone knows that there can be a thousand or even tens of thousands of “comments” on VK on any topic. In this case, use the page search - press CTRL+F together and enter your nickname.

Search filters are available in the section on the left. Select here only those that suit you. For example, if you know for sure that you did not leave comments under the videos, uncheck this box. Do the same with the rest.

Deleting all posts on the VKontakte wall

The second method works flawlessly in 2021 , but you will have to paste the code many times if you have a large number of records:

1. We scroll through some of our notes on the wall. For a quick effect, hold down space or end.

2. Anywhere on the page, right-click on the mouse and select “View code” (in some browsers it is called differently, for example, “Examine element”).

3. Next, open the “Console” tab, enter the code described below and press the Enter key.

(function () { 'use strict'; if (!confirm('Delete all posts from the wall?')) return; var deletePostLink = document.body.querySelectorAll('a.ui_actions_menu_item[onclick^="wall.deletePost"] '); for (var i = 0; i < deletePostLink.length; i++) { deletePostLink
.click(); } alert(deletePostLink.length + ' posts deleted'); }());

4. We confirm the deletion and wait until the wall is cleaned.

Now we scroll further through the entries, insert the code and delete them;

Slow but sure

The technical functionality of VKontakte , available to average users by default, makes it possible to delete each post on the wall individually. Let's consider step by step how to delete all posts on the VK :

Open your profile in vk .
We scroll through the wall to the records that need to be deleted or stop at the very first one from the top.
We move the cursor to the upper right corner of the entry, which is displayed visually in the form of an ellipsis, or when using touch technologies, we touch the same place with our finger.
The system offers the user a choice: “Pin" or "Delete entry" You must select " Delete entry" The answer to the question of how to independently delete an entry in the group “ In contact with».
The message has been deleted, but the system gives the user one last chance to come to their senses and return everything to normal, asking them to click on “Restore».
If your decision is irrevocable and you do not want to compromise, then simply continue deleting entries one by one.
After deletions, simply refresh the page and all deleted entries will disappear forever.

You were full of determination, but, for example, on record 1017 you discovered weakness in your fingers, incessant yawning, a desire to retreat from your original goal, and other symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. Diagnosis - understanding that this method is not for you. It's time to move on to radical measures of post-extermination.

Instructions for computer

Let's say you run your own blog. You wrote an article that you no longer liked or is no longer interested in. Of course, it's worth getting rid of it. It remains to figure out how to do this. So, how to delete an article or post on VK.

Open the list of finished publications and open the one that you would like to get rid of.
In the publication section there is a line “Delete”, click on it.

And then confirm your action.

After you make it, the publication will disappear, and this notification will appear on the wall.

It also needs to be removed. And here the following instructions will help you. But before that, open your drafts in the editor (letter T in the “What’s new?” section) and clean them up.

Please note that deleting an article on VK occurs ONLY in the browser. You won't be able to do this in the app. But you can get rid of the entry in any version of the social network: mobile or computer.

It is also worth adding that there are 2 types of text publications in VK: a post and an article. As a rule, people running a personal page do not even know about the presence of the second option and are content with the first. This is a usual wall post for us, the creation of which will not take much of your time (we write a couple of sentences and insert an image). A full-fledged article opens in book format and is a more voluminous text, colored with pictures, gifs, videos, links, bulleted lists, etc.

On the page

To clean up your personal VK page and delete an article, do this:

Log in to your VKontakte account.
Find the post you want to get rid of.
Hover over the check mark icon in the top right corner.
A menu will appear where you need to select “Delete entry”.

After this, the article will disappear from your feed.

In Group

If you are a community administrator, then here's how to delete an article on VK from a group. By the way, if here and now you do not have the opportunity to do this yourself, appoint an administrator and let him do everything for you.

Log in to the group as an administrator.
Find objectionable material.
Hover your cursor over the same checkmark in the right corner.
Click "Delete Entry."

As you can see, the sequence is the same as in the case of a personal page.

Instructions for smartphone

Using the mobile app, you can also edit the information on your wall. And it’s just as easy to do as the web version of the site.

On the page

To delete an article on VK via phone:

Sign in to your account.
Find the “bad” post.
Click on the three dots in its upper right corner.
Next, tap on the “Delete” value.
Confirm your decision by clicking "Yes".

In Group

When administering a community, you can also delete an article from the wall of a VKontakte group using your phone:

Log in to your VK account.
Go to the group that you are an administrator of.
Find the entry you want to get rid of.
Just like in the previous menu, click on the checkmark in the right corner of the entry.

Select "Delete" and confirm your decision.

Is it possible to restore a recording?

The moment you delete an article, you can still get everything back. When a post disappears, the message “Restore” appears in its place. If you click on it, the entry will reappear in its original place.

But be careful, if you reload the page or move to another section, it will be impossible to restore it.

If you still reloaded the page, but you really need to return the article, then the only possible option is to write it again.

As you can see, removing an article from VK is absolutely not difficult; even a child can handle it. Therefore, you can easily ensure that the information on your page is only fresh and relevant.

How to determine who deleted my post on VK

If your post was deleted under someone else’s publications, then it’s easy to determine who did it - the owner of the page. Or the one who shared the post. Most likely this question relates to VKontakte groups. In this case, you have the opportunity to determine who deleted your post or comment in the group. To do this, you need to find all the owners of this community. Most groups have a block with contacts and addresses of owners. There are also personal websites where you can contact them.

Open the group and pay attention to the blocks on the right. If necessary, scroll down the page and you can find the one you need: “Contacts”, “Administrators”, “Owners”, etc. In it you will find the names of the group owners. Then contact them and determine why your entries were deleted. The method may not be very effective, but that's all you can do in this case.
