How to delete your VKontakte page forever - step-by-step guide

Why might you want to delete your VKontakte page permanently or temporarily?

Every person registered on a social network may want to delete their page completely, or for some period of time. The time given by developers for reflection varies from one month to six months. This is due to the fact that approximately a fifth of users annually submit requests for deletion and half of them subsequently restore their pages.

Below we discuss in detail the methods of how to delete a page in a contact, proposed by the developers, and those found by chance (or not by chance) by users. There are different options - you can delete it completely permanently, or temporarily.

How to delete someone else’s VK page forever immediately following a complaint?

The best solution to find out how to delete someone else's VKontakte page is to file a complaint against the account owner. To achieve this goal you will have to:

1. Choose a compelling reason for the complaint, for example, insults, violation of the rules of a social network, or simply creating a fake account (especially if it involves identity theft).
2. Go to the person's page.
3. Find the line inviting you to complain (located under your profile photo).
4. Click on the mentioned inscription.
5. State the reasons for the complaint.
6. Add your own comments and explanations.

It is important to emphasize that the freeze time for violator blocking is selected by the support agent reviewing the complaint. It is impossible to influence the period.

Method No. 1

The easiest way to completely permanently delete a page in a contact provided by the developers is to delete it through the settings. To do this you can do this:

1. Log in to your account.
2. On the left side, in the menu column, select “My Settings”.
3. Open the “General” tab.
4. At the very bottom of the page, click on the “Delete your page” link.

We choose the reason for deletion, and if desired, send a message or parting words to our friends. Your page has been deleted. But since you used your page before the decision to delete it, you can restore your account and old page within up to six months.

If you were unable to access the “Settings” menu item or you do not want to look for it, then after logging into your account, follow the link https://vk.com/settings?act=deactivate. After the transition, you will also see a deletion window where you indicate the reason and confirm the deletion.

Uninstall using the settings menu

Open your page. From the menu under the photo, select “My Settings”.

Go down to the very bottom of the window, remaining on the “General” tab - there is a not very noticeable button “You can delete your page.” Click on it.

The next window will ask you to indicate the reason for deletion. You can choose one of the points, or you can write something of your own. After this, your page will cease to exist.

Method No. 2

Or a way of safe oblivion. It is used if you don’t communicate much on social networks, visit your page about once a month, or even want to forget about the existence of social networks and sleep peacefully. So, how to delete a page in a contact completely forever in this case?

1. On your page, open the “Settings” item
2. In the “Privacy” tab, set all values ​​to “Only me”.
3. In all other tabs, delete all information about yourself.
4. Delete all files and posts from your page, that is, photos, wall posts, music, and so on. The page should become completely null.
5. Delete/unfollow all friends.

Now you can forget your password. Since your page is empty and no one can see it except you and the VKontakte administration, after some time (about a month) it will be deleted by the administration. But during this time you can still restore the old page. In order to restore a page deleted in this way, you just need to try to log into your account. A link will appear at the top: “restore your page.” Click and that’s it – the refund is complete.

If you are sure that you do not want to restore your page, then the next method is for you. It is a slightly modified method No. 2.

Method 2: Temporarily freezing your account

This method of deleting a page is not a means of deactivating a VKontakte profile forever. Freezing an account gives you the opportunity to hide your account from the eyes of other social network users. At the same time, you retain full access to all the features of VK.com.

Unlike the first method, freezing will require deleting any user data and files.

The only advantage of this method is the ability to remove the freeze at any convenient time, after which you can continue to use the page.

1. Log in to VKontakte using an Internet browser and use the drop-down menu in the upper right part of the page to go to the “Edit” section.
2. It is recommended to switch the birthday information to "Do not show date of birth".

5. Here you need to switch using the right menu to the “Privacy” subsection.
6. Scroll down the page to the “Contact me” settings block.



7. In each item presented, set the value to “Nobody”.



8. Additionally, in the “Other” block, opposite the item “Who can see my page on the Internet,” set the value to “Only VKontakte users.”



9. Return to the main page, clean your wall and delete any user files, including photos and videos. Perform exactly the same actions with the list of your friends.

It's best to block people you delete so they don't remain on your follower list. The subscribers themselves also need to be blocked using a blacklist.

Among other things, it is also recommended to change your username and gender to prevent your profile from being targeted in internal searches. It is also advisable to change the page address.

After all the steps taken, you just need to leave your account.
