VKontakte, with a monthly audience of 80 million users, confidently occupies the first position in the TOP 10 most popular social networks on the Runet. Comfort of chatting, a lot of interesting games, online services, music and video, a convenient internal search system - it would seem, what else does an Internet consumer need? Here's what! Get rid of it all!

Yes, yes, that’s right: delete the page in contact - and that’s the end of it. And there is nothing surprising in this desire. There are plenty of justified motives for committing this act: a session on the nose, attacks of gambling addiction, manifestation of jealousy of the other half, the desire to hide from an ex-girlfriend, etc. Alas, everyday lyrics sometimes oblige.

So, how to delete a page in a contact?

Method number 1: activating the “delete” option

1. Go to your VK page.

2. Click in the user menu located above the “In Contact” icon, the “My Settings” section.

3. Scroll the mouse wheel down when the settings open. Find the “delete your page” link in the “footer” of the site (its lower part) and follow it.

Choose your option from those offered. If there is none, indicate “Other reason” and in the form below leave a short comment explaining why you no longer want to see your own VKontakte page. Here you can do without any special details: the standard phrase “due to the current situation” will suffice.

If you need to tell all your VKontakte friends that you are going to say goodbye to its endless virtual spaces forever, check the “Tell Friends” option.

5. Think carefully about your decision again. There is no doubt - feel free to press the treasured “Delete page” button.

6. A message will appear indicating that the account has been deleted. And also the period (see the date in the second line above the avatar) during which it can be restored.

Attention! If you use this deletion method, the account will remain on the Vkontakte social network server for 7 months until it finally disappears.

Getting your favorite VK page back is as easy as deleting it. If you realize, after some time, that you got carried away, open the social network, enter your username and password, and then click on the “Recover” option in the column on the left. A large “Restore Page” button will appear - click it and enjoy getting your account back to normal.

Method number 2: changing user settings

This deletion option requires a little more effort from the user, but the procedure for permanently deleting a page is much faster. After the steps described below, the account will disappear irrevocably after about 2.5 months, and not after 7 - if you use the first method.

So, if you need to remove the page as quickly as possible, use method No. 2.

1. Open your personal page and go to “My Settings”.

2. Select the "Privacy" tab.

3. Set all settings (who sees..., who can...) in the “My Page” and “Contact Me” sections to “Only Me” and “Nobody”.

4. After changing the settings, do not go to your personal page.

The VKontakte administration system evaluates this privacy configuration as the owner’s reluctance to use the benefits of the social network and, accordingly, automatically deletes the page.

Method number 3: “freezing” the account

When using this method, the page still remains at the user’s disposal, that is, it does not disappear forever. Only her appearance changes in order to hide from all her friends and comrades or from someone specifically for a certain time.

The algorithm of actions is very simple: the account owner deletes all content on the page - photos, audio, video; deletes friends; in the “Contact me” section in the “who can write/invite” settings, set it to “Nobody”. If desired, for greater secrecy, he also changes the first and last name to a pseudonym and page address so that it is impossible to find the account in a search using personal data and visually determine its affiliation with the user.

The main advantage of this method is that the “disguise” can be removed at any time, since the login, password and phone number attached to the account remain unchanged.

The choice of a specific method depends on your goals, dear reader. It depends on what you want to say to your personal VK page - “Goodbye!” or "Goodbye!"

Good luck and good luck to you! Let account deletion be quick and painless.
