Every day people spend their free, and sometimes even working, time on social networks. But sometimes there is a need to delete all personal information along with the page. The reasons are different - often accounts are hacked by attackers or the user is simply tired of wasting his life communicating in the virtual world. Where to start if there is a need to delete a page in a contact?

Official way

1. Go to your VKontakte social network page.
2. Select “My Settings” from the menu.
3. At the bottom of the page, find the inscription “You can delete your page” and follow the link.
4. Specify the reason for deletion by selecting it from the list (or specifying your own) and checking the box.
5. Click the "Delete Page" button.

The interesting thing is that when choosing a reason, a message is generated automatically, and such a message puts the user in a rather stupid position, especially if he does not uncheck the “Tell friends” checkbox. Most likely, this was done to make the user change his mind about deleting the account.

In order to ensure that the user’s personal data does not appear anywhere else without his knowledge (for example, on dating sites), before deleting a page on VKontakte, it is advisable to clear the deleted page of correspondence, photos, videos and other materials. At the same time, make sure that the changes you make are saved.

This method of deleting a page was introduced not very long ago. Previously, in order to delete a page, it was necessary to perform a number of cunning manipulations. There was a lot of advice, even recommendations to start vigorous spammer activity in order to provoke the moderator to delete the page without the right to restore it.

Delete using your phone

Those who are not attracted to such a simple option may do differently. There is another way to delete a page:

1. register a new VKontakte account, indicating the same phone number to which the old page is linked;
2. When asking the service to replace a page, answer in the affirmative.

Maintaining privacy on the Internet is a challenge, especially since people post everything about themselves on social networks. To control the dissemination of personal information, it is better not to post it on the Internet, then deleting your account will not be necessary.

Addiction to the virtual world is a serious problem, and the decision to delete the page is only the first attempt to cure it. Whatever the reason that forced you to delete your page from the Internet, it is important to do it correctly and irrevocably.
