Like any other social network, VKontakte allows you to delete your page. True, there is one important nuance here - although the page is deleted, you can restore it within seven months! For what? It's simple: most users who decide to delete their account sooner or later want to restore it. And in order to solve this problem, the page is not deleted from the database, but remains in it for the specified time. And if suddenly the user wants to bring his page back to life, he can do this in just a few seconds.
If you still decide to delete your profile, well, it’s your right. We'll show you how to do it correctly.
In the menu, select the “My Settings” section, the “General” tab.
Staying on the “General” tab, lower your page to the very bottom. Here is the link “You can delete your page.” Click on it.
On the page that opens, you will be asked to indicate one of the reasons for deleting your account. There are five of them in total, not counting the indication of their reason:
- I have another page
- VKontakte takes up too much of my time
- VKontakte has too many inappropriate materials
- I'm concerned about the security of my data
- No one comments on my page
Specify the reason, leave or remove the check mark next to the “Tell friends” item as you wish, and click on the “Delete page” button.
The page has been deleted, which is what we see on the monitor screen. At the same time, it remains possible to restore it over many months. To do this you need to make just one click.
But don't worry. Even though the possibility of restoring the page remains for such a long period, it will actually be deleted.

For some, deleting a VKontakte account is an extremely joyful event. It symbolizes the renunciation of virtual communications on one’s own instinct: they say, away with these chats, communities, all sorts of pictures and videos. It can also mean the creation of a new image. Goodbye old profile, hello new - “from scratch”: here I am, dear VKontakte visitors, but not quite the same as I was before. In general, there are a great many enthusiasms regarding the destruction of a VKontakte account in the minds of users.
However, this same action (deleting a VKontakte account) can also be a reason for crushing sadness. In fact, schoolchildren are sometimes forced to delete their accounts on the social network VKontakte by their parents. Because of bad grades or during the hot season of exams, just to be on the safe side, just in case, so that the child is not distracted by empty online entertainment and stubbornly, through brainstorming, makes his way in life (passes the exams with “excellent marks”). Students sometimes say the same “farewell” to VKontakte. True, already independently and, of course, consciously, and not at the behest of mom and dad.
Or a loved one may urge you to delete your VKontakte profile - a jealous husband, a grumpy wife, or, perhaps, a girlfriend obsessed with painful suspicions.
In general, no matter how the philosophy of your life path turns around, dear reader, and since a radical decision is hidden in your soul - to completely and forever remove your VKontakte profile - then apparently it’s time to act, to carry out the planned tasks. And with that, let's get started.

There is no arguing about the prevalence of social networks; thousands of new users register on them every day. Their goals are different: to find acquaintances and communicate with them, exchange content, find new friends with similar interests, earn money (not always in an honest way), etc. In addition to the obvious benefits, all social networks also carry many threats, because of which you have to delete your account.
All social networks, including VKontakte, provide for the creation of a personal profile in which the user’s personal data is indicated for identification by other users. This information includes: region of residence, information about educational institutions, place of work, hobbies, family information, etc. Of course, this information can be used for different purposes - good or bad. To delete your profile on VK, you need to go to “Settings” from your page and select the “General” tab. At the bottom of this page, look for the phrase “ You can delete your page“and click on the active link “Delete your page” . After this, a window will open where you will be asked to select the reason for deleting your profile and broadcast it in the news. Click "U" delete page". After deleting an account on VKontakte, profile data is stored for several months on the site server. At the same time, a list of friends, audio recordings, videos, photos, and personal messages are saved. Therefore, during this period it is possible to completely restore your profile. All comments in groups, communities, under photos and videos are also saved, they are visible to everyone, but there is no photo on the user icon. When you go to a deleted user's page, a message appears indicating that the page has been deleted. It happens that attackers hack not only your VKontakte account, but also the email to which it is linked. Therefore, there is a danger of restoring your social network page without your knowledge and carrying out illegal actions on your behalf.
- Go to the settings from your page and select the “Privacy” tab, where you need to set “Only me” in all lines;
- In the “Alerts” tab, cancel all types of alerts;
- Call the personal data editing page by clicking on “edit” next to the “My Page” icon on the left control panel;
- In each tab of the window that appears (“Main”, “Contacts”, “Interests”, etc.), remove as much information as possible, click “Save”;
- Clear all correspondence and friends list;
- Leave all groups and communities, delete applications;
- Delete all downloaded photos, audio and video recordings.
To minimize risks, you should not fill out all the personal information fields that the site requests, or limit access to your page as much as possible by setting privacy settings.
