Deleting a VKontakte page may not be as simple as it might seem, and not only because of the introduction of a new design. Basically, all social networks will actively attract you to activity on their site, because our time spent on their platforms is their money. Deleting accounts, not counting bots and malicious violators, is not one of their primary tasks. Therefore, deleting a personal page on VKontakte has been a difficult issue for quite a long time. Over time, the process became easier. With the transition to a new design, the deletion algorithm has become as unified as possible for mobile devices and for computers. Deleting a page is now done in a few clicks, and access to this function has become more intuitive, although somewhat different from the old one. This article concerns, first of all, those users who do not use special applications for VKontakte, since the user interface in this case will depend on the specific application and its version, even to the extent that there is no uninstall option as such. In case there is “no time to explain,” the fastest and simplest method will go first. In other cases, it is better to manually go through the “settings” and clear the account information.

How to delete a VKontakte page forever

As noted above, the described actions do not permanently delete your page, but only deactivate it. This is clear even from the link address itself. Deleting a page this way only starts the deletion process. Within seven months from the moment the page was “deleted”, you can restore it by logging into the VK website with the appropriate login and password. In this case, you will be sent to a page where there will be a link to “restore your page.” By following this link you can reactivate your account. If re-activation does not follow within the specified period, the account will be deleted forever.

But just keep in mind...

...That all dialogues, likes and other traces of your activity on the VK website will remain in their places. There will be no active account in the database, however, traces of it will remain. Including the phone number associated with this account. If you intend to use the number to create a new VK account, it is better to unlink the number from it before deleting the old one.

If you are afraid that someone may abuse the data published from your account, you can change your real Last Name, First Name and Patronymic name to fictitious ones before deleting it. It would also be useful to spend some time deleting dialogues, reposts, clearing walls, deleting friends and similar matters manually.

Just because your account is deleted doesn't mean it can't be abused. As long as you can activate it, it can also be hacked.

P.S. for mobile device users:

Deleting even the official VK application on your Android, Mac and even Windows 10 does not mean deleting the account itself! To be on the safe side, carry out all the necessary actions through your browser, and then, after checking access to your account through the application, you can delete it.
