How to delete a VKontakte group - a quick and reliable method of liquidation

Hi all! Have you ever wondered how to delete a group on VK? This is usually due to certain reasons:

The community has not justified itself. This happens when an admin tried to create an interesting public page, but failed to promote it;
Tired of it. This also happens. Alas, professional burnout exists and there is no escape from it;
Community is no longer needed. It happens that it was created for a short period or for a specific event.

These are the main and most common reasons to take such extreme measures. In any case, no matter what it is, in this article I will tell you how to quickly delete a created VKontakte group from a mobile phone or computer so that it disappears without a trace. Well, or restore a previously deleted one if you suddenly change your mind.

To delete or not to delete, that is the question

I advise you to consider other options besides deletion, since valuable resources such as time, effort, and attention are invested in the development and creation of a public page. Essentially, you are going to wipe out this concentrate of your creative power. It might be better to convert it to something else.

Transfer of control

You can transfer rights to people who are interested in the further development of what has been created. Thus, the effort you expended will not go to waste, which is nice.

Change of direction

If a topic or activity is no longer relevant, you can simply change it. Yes, many subscribers will leave you, but there will also be those who remain.

Sale

An excellent option, if there are a lot of participants (from 1,000 people), is to sell the community to interested parties.

How to remove a person from a group on VKontakte

Removing participants is one of the stages of comprehensive group cleaning:

First, the user needs to open the application start page, and then go to the menu where the “Groups” section is located;
By clicking on it, we go to the society where the person is an admin. After that, go to the “community management” item. This can be done through the settings;
Now click on the “Participants” section;
Then you need to find the person you would like to exclude from the group;
Now, opposite the user icon, click on the three dots;
Select the item “Remove from community;
We confirm the necessary manipulation.

This way the participant will be removed from the community if necessary. This will be needed when this participant simply violates the rules of society and crosses the path of the group.

Deleting a public page

If you manage a public page, you will first have to transfer the created page to a group.

It's done like this.

Step 1. Go to your VK page, click on the “Groups” tab.

Step 2. Move to the “Management” section and look for the desired community in the list that opens. Come into it.

Step 3. Under the avatar, click on the three dots, which expand the menu of acceptable actions. The very last option is “Transfer to group”. Feel free to click.

Step 4. We study the notification from the site about the translation of the page. You can do this no more often than once every 30 days. We agree.

Step 5. Done. The inscription under the avatar should change from “You are subscribed” to “You are a member”.

Now you can liquidate your community. To do this, follow the further instructions.

How to unsubscribe from PC

Manually

This method is good if the list of communities is small. You need to cancel your subscription yourself:

open your VK page;
go to the list of subscriptions;
Opposite the public page from which you need to unsubscribe, there is a small menu hidden under an ellipsis. Hover the cursor over it;
in the list that appears, select the top item “Unsubscribe”.

That's it, the action is completed and the news of this public page will not disturb you.

Script

Anyone looking for the easiest way to exit all VKontakte groups at once will use this method. The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

go to your profile from a PC;
open the list of public pages that we monitor;
go to the end of the list (to do this faster, you can hold the slider with the mouse and drag it down);
right-click on an empty space;
in the drop-down menu, at the end of the list, select the item “View element code” or “View code” (this is in the Chrome or Opera browser, in Yandex - “Examine element”);

a window with a code will open on the right;
opens the Console tab and paste the following script where the register is blinking

javascript:function delg(){links=document.querySelectorAll("a");for(var a=0;a0){delg();gg.click();}else{clearInterval(si);}",2e3 );
Enter and the program will automatically exit all public pages.

You can make it even easier and quicker to unsubscribe from groups on VK. Open your public pages in VK, and paste the above script into the address bar of your browser. Enter and the unsubscribe process will start.

If you were unable to remove yourself from closed publics, you will have to do it yourself.

Please note that if the group is closed, it will be more difficult to return to it if something happens. You will have to resubmit your application and wait for an administrator to review it.

Browser extension

There are not many reliable programs for managing your social network page. They quickly appear and disappear. One of the durable ones is ViKey Zen, which can be downloaded from the Chrome store. Suitable for Yandex and Chrome browsers.

This extension simplifies many manipulations. It should be used like this:

download and install ViKey Zen, the application icon will appear on the toolbar;
open your page on the social network and go to your publics tab;
click on ViKey Zen and go through the authorization procedure, granting full or partial access;
find the “Communities” menu item;
Click “Leave Communities”;
go to the bottom of the page - the “Authorization” section, in the line “The extension will have access” there should be “Communities”;
Next, we confirm access to our page;
in the new page that opens, find the item “Leave communities” and click on it;
After confirmation, the user is automatically removed from all public pages.

By the way, if you decide to leave the community because its administrators or members are violating the rules, consider blocking the group completely.

Special programs

To leave all groups on VK, you can use special programs. Such as VKbot.

It should be downloaded and installed;
Next, in the robot menu, find the “Cleaning” button;
“Leave meetings, publics”;
After confirming the user's intent, the application starts working.

Steps to manually delete a community

Stage 1. Go to the group that needs to be deleted.

Stage 2. Clear the contacts field - to do this, click on the section with the corresponding name on the right under the avatar. Next, click on the cross next to each contact to delete.

Stage 3. Click on the three dots under the avatar again and select “Community Management” from the drop-down list.

Stage 4. We get to the main settings section. Here, first of all, we change the type to “Private”.

This is done so that no one can get into it or apply for membership. Before the complete disappearance from the system occurs, the community will be visible to you, since you are its creator.

If you save the link to your community and click on it after all the manipulations, you can verify this. For all other people, the group will not be visible and will completely disappear from both the VK search and the Yandex and Google search engines.

Stage 5. Now clear the contents. If there is an incredible amount of material, skip this step, since it is not key, but it speeds up the removal process. It’s better to delete everything – albums, music, wall posts, avatars, covers, documents, videos.

Stage 6. Participants. They will have to be deleted manually, which is why with thousands of subscribers it’s worth at least trying to involve the VKontakte administration. Or, alternatively, transfer ownership to someone else.

Go back to “Community Management” and move to the “Members” tab. Next to each name, click the cross to remove the person. If there are other administrators besides you, then you will first need to deprive them of their rights by clicking on the “Demote” button, and then on the usual cross.

Stage 7. After only you remain in the community, it is clear of unnecessary information and is closed from prying eyes, the final act remains - leave the group and never return to it.
Save the link to the community page if you want to track when it disappears completely.

Complete removal of your group from social media. networks

If a user is wondering whether it is possible to delete a group or community on VK in 2021, it means that he did not find a delete button in the settings. It is impossible to delete a public page on a social network, but you can get rid of it:

The creator can clear a group profile of content and subscribers, and then deny access to new subscribers;
The administration can block the public (at the request of the owner or after a complaint from a third-party user).

In both cases, the removal can be considered successful.

From computer

The owner can delete his VKontakte community on a PC manually, but the process will require time and patience.

The user will be required to do the following:

Open community. If a public page has been created, then you need to transfer it to a group; the button for this is located in the right menu.
Change the type to "Private".

“Reset” all content: clear the wall, audio, photos (albums), videos, discussion topics, contacts, descriptions, etc.
Erase both subscribers and administrators from the list.

Unsubscribe from the community in your account.

It must be said that it is easier to contact technical support with this request on a computer than from a phone: you need to click on the button below and fill out the request fields.

"Name" "}" data-sheets-userformat='{"2″:513,"3″:[NULL,0],"12":0}'>

Contact tech. support

From phone

The creator can also delete a group on VK from the phone by contacting technical support, but you will have to wait about three days for the result. To do this you will need:

Open the application.
Open the menu by clicking the three bars on the bottom panel.

Open "Help".

Select “Communities” in the directory.

Find “How to remove”.

Click “Doesn’t solve the problem”, and then click “There are still questions”.

Write the name and reasons for deletion.

Click the checkbox to send the request to technical support.

Removing materials and design

Now we need to start cleaning up all the materials that were published within this community. If the design is easily removed manually, then with recordings, music and videos everything is a little more complicated. If your group has thousands of publications and media files, then it is better to use a special script that will delete the data automatically. All you have to do is check the success of the procedure.

What else is needed to delete a public page on VK?

We removed all the people who could make changes. Now it is advisable to manually clean all materials.

The most important thing is to remove posts from the main feed. To do this, we go to it and hover the mouse over the entry. A cross icon should appear (in the upper right corner). Clicking on it will delete the entry.

We do the same with all published posts.

How to restore a deleted community or group

A person cannot restore a remote community by any means. If a user threw strikes at his own community, then it will simply be impossible to recover. Of course, you can write to the VK administration, but, as a rule, this method simply does not work.

If a person deleted and cleaned the community, then it will be quite difficult to restore the asset that was there previously, and besides, he simply will not be able to return the administrator rights that he had.

Therefore, it is advisable not to try to revive the existing community, but to create a new one in order to begin active development.
