Friends, greetings to everyone! Today I would like to touch on the topic of how to delete a VKontakte page, I know very well that there are a lot of articles and video reviews on deleting pages on the Internet, but I would like to write a little more extensively on this topic, tell you everything about what and why people delete their pages. By the way, I want to note that the first competition on the blog will start soon, which I will write later, so you better subscribe to blog updates and wait for the next articles.

We are all different: someone, when leaving, shouts “Bye”, someone calmly says “Goodbye”, there are also those who do not define their departure at all - they do not say goodbye and quietly close the door. It’s the same on a social network: one contact page deleted with “loud” statuses and “important” statements, while the other is imperceptible and quiet. These two parties have one thing in common: they were all interested in the question of how to get rid of a boring or unnecessary profile.

Delete a page in a contact forever - the “usual” way

Log in to your social network profile. Find the tab " Settings" At the very bottom there will be a note “ You can delete your page" Follow the link provided (here it is) http://vkontakte.ru/settings?act=deactivate), select the reason for deleting the profile, click on the blue button. That's it, you are no longer a user of the VKontakte social network. But this is only indirect. In fact, within seven months, with a slight movement of the mouse, you will be able to restore your profile from oblivion with all the photos, videos, etc.

You can also delete a “lost” page from the Internet - one that you cannot access for some reason (forgotten password, hacked profile). To begin with, you will have to. To do this, follow the link http://vk.com/restore. Don't remember your details? That way http://vk.com/restore?act=return_page. The decision to restore your profile will be positive if your data remains on the page. The support service will offer you to send a copy of the documents with a photo, by which they will identify you.

If you don’t remember your password, email, phone number and you still don’t have a passport, contact support using the link http://vk.com/support?act=new– you can only do this from the registered account of a friend or relative.

What happens to the data after contact page deleted

When you press the button " delete page", it is not actually deleted. At any time, you can return your profile to its place - with all uploaded files (photos, videos, music), with all personal information. If you would like your personal data to be permanently deleted from the service, you will need to “ application with a live signature and passport data (with registration and residence address), sent by mail“- and not by e-mail, but by live mail from Ukraine or Russia - this is exactly how VK agents respond to users.

There is a horror story circulating on the Internet that, they say, all the data once uploaded to your profile will forever remain on the Internet. And that someday (even in 10-20 years) some “bad person” will definitely take advantage of the naivety of the once “young user” and put indecent (seemingly deleted) information on public display. Whether this is so, no one knows for sure. All existing “arguments” are not confirmed by facts, and at the same time they are not refuted.

How to delete a page in contact forever - the “difficult” option

After reading the information above, you probably have a question: how to get rid of your profile on a social network once and for all? There is another method, which we called “complex” due to the abundance of points:

1. Erase all personal information.
2. Get rid of all your friends.
3. Delete recordings, photos and videos, music.
4. In your profile settings, block access to your data as much as possible.
5. Change your email (to an existing but not used one).
6. Disable all notifications sent to your mobile phone via the link http://vk.com/deact.php.

But! Even after you get rid of your VKontakte profile using the “complex” option, you can still “uncheck” the box and start filling out your personal account information again.

How to delete a page in a contact forever - the “complaint” method

Many network users who have lost access to their profiles are asking to report them. Let us remind you: 100 complaints to the VKontakte administration are equal to account blocking without the possibility of recovery. But! If you have always been a good boy or a good girl - you haven’t spammed, you haven’t posted sharply negative information on the wall - deleting a page with a forgotten password using the “complaint” method will not be easy. Nobody bans ordinary peaceful profiles. So in this case, only contacting support will help you.

1. Spam in popular groups.
2. Swearing “bad” words on the pages of famous people, for example Pavel Durov.

That is, behave inappropriately - be rude, troll, sell some nonsense, act like a fool, beg, etc. The more negativity there is on the part of your profile, the more complaints there will be, which means that the likelihood that you will soon be banned will increase.

Your contact page has been deleted: Are you sure about this?

If you decide to part with your profile forever, know:

1. Your entries, comments, likes, messages will remain, even if you are no longer on VKontakte!
2. All these posts and likes will still be signed with your name. That is, your profile will no longer exist, but your thoughts, actions, interests will remain online forever.

How to avoid this? Before deleting your account, try changing your last name and first name to a fake one - one that does not exist in nature, but sounds organic.

Who deleted the contact page and why?

According to official statistics published on the VKontakte blog, you can see that more than 50% of social network members have not deleted and do not want to delete their profile. About 30% have blocked or are planning to block their account without subsequent recovery. About 19% responded that they would delete/deleted their page, but would definitely restore it sooner or later. Note that this survey is anonymous, that is, users had no need to “embellish” their own opinions.

And now the most interesting thing: TOP reasons " Why do people get rid of their contact pages?».

In fifth place in popularity: “Performance fright” or “I want to hide.” Some users suddenly realize that their personal data is available not only to friends, but also to enemies. Constant worry about hiding information makes you want to delete the page.

In fourth place: “The FSB is keeping us at gunpoint.” “VKontakte is a spy tool. Users, without knowing it, post all the information about themselves, from which they can then be easily identified,” - this opinion is very common among 11-13 teenagers who “have something to hide” (sarcasm, if anything).

In third place: “VKontakte is not comme il faut.” “It’s much more fashionable to be on Facebook or Instagram,” some say, clicking on the “ Delete page».

In second place: “Contactomania.” Habituation and dependence cause withdrawal symptoms. A social network user cannot live without “likes” and “comments”. He sits on his profile all the time - at work, at home, on the way home, etc. And someone decides to end this once and forever–they delete the contact page.

In the first place: “I’m tired, then I’ll restore it”, “What will happen if my profile disappears - how many people will remember me?”, “Let everyone know that I feel bad, that I have problems - I delete the page so that later to restore again." All the reasons mentioned are just a way to attract attention to yourself (or your problem). Such people really need communication, but only in reality.

Enjoy watching:)
