Social networks have enveloped the globe. Now it is very rare to meet a person who does not have a page in at least one of the well-known networks. Most of them are registered not in one, but in many, having the opportunity in this way to communicate, make old and new friends, join interest groups, watch movies and listen to music without leaving their favorite page, and enjoy other advantages, which are many. On such sites you can find out the latest news, immediately commenting on them and sharing information and your opinion with friends and other users, find recommendations or ask for advice on table setting or evening movie watching, find out about the weather on the other side of the globe, relying on evidence people there at the moment, solve a legal problem and find out the reason for the failure of the Internet at home. That is why it is difficult not to get caught up in social networking networks, and that is why the number of registered users is steadily growing.
"In contact with". Question number 1
One of the most popular networks in our country is VKontakte. A very small number of Runet users have never registered on this site. It’s just that registering is simple, because upon entering the main page we are greeted by a detailed and understandable description of this process, but how to completely delete the VKontakte page? The answer to this question may puzzle the inexperienced user.
Question number 2
Another question that often excites users of this network is: " How to delete deleted VKontakte pages?" This happens after you, having deleted someone from the list of friends, for example, a person who deleted his page, suddenly finds it among his subscribers. Everything would be fine, but over time, the number of subscribers and such “dead souls” can grow to incredible sizes, which, you see, is not necessary at all - you want to see who is actually following your page, you can see your feed in your news and follow your other activities for public viewing. Yes, and that same “former friend” is likely to create a new page and, possibly, will also become your subscriber by trying to add you to “Friends” again and receiving your refusal. It’s not very pleasant to have several people with the same name on the same list, I want to understand which of the pages is “live”, and maybe you just don’t want someone to read your news every day in their feed.
How to delete deleted VKontakte pages
We discuss this less common question first. Then we turn to the more frequent and simpler question of whether VKontakte can delete a page.
So, the answer to this question is not very easy to give, because there is simply no simple way thought out by the developers. It’s strange. Everything is so beautiful and convenient, but such an unpleasant trifle is missing.
"Black list"
How to remove deleted VKontakte pages from the list of subscribers? First you need to add them to the "Black List", and for this go to the list of your subscribers. It is necessary to do this by not selecting "My friends" in the left panel, but by clicking on the "My subscribers" link on your page, under your main photo. Only in this way will it be possible to put any person who is here on the Black List. This is done by clicking on the cross that appears when you hover over the user's photo. In order for an objectionable subscriber to not immediately return to the previous ranks, it is necessary to leave him on the Black List for a while, well, for example, for an hour. Only after the lapse of time can you delete a user from the list of users you have blocked. Now he again has the opportunity for you to write and go to your page, but he will not return to the list of subscribers. Of course, until he again submits an application to add you as a friend. Here's a not-so-easy way to delete deleted VKontakte pages. In order for a user that you removed from the list of friends or a user who expressed a desire to be friends with you, but did not receive your consent, does not fall into the list of subscribers, it is necessary that he unsubscribe from your page, and this, you must agree, is not always possible .
How to permanently delete VKontakte page
This is a completely different issue, having nothing to do with the previous one. Well, except that it concerns all the same, so beloved by many users, popular site. In fact, before 2012, when the site was already at its peak, the question "How to permanently delete a VKontakte page?" sounded much more often. Because, just as in the first question we are discussing, there was no simple answer to it. More precisely, the official answer was, but it was not at all simple.
Why delete?
Good question. There can be a great many answers to it. For example, unfortunately, it often happens that pages on social networks are hacked. This happens most often due to viruses entering the computer, or simply by negligence. The attackers, gaining access, use someone else’s page for personal gain, change personal data and other information so much that, having returned access to their personal page, the user often prefers to create a new one rather than restore the old one. Often these pages are blocked by the site administration. In addition, there may be other - personal reasons. Then the question arises: "How is VKontakte to delete the old page?"
Past difficulties
Previously, a few years ago, the ability to independently delete your data from the VKontakte website was absent. Having asked how to permanently delete the VKontakte page , the user had to write a letter with a corresponding request to the site administration. There he had to describe in detail the reasons for his decision, to which the administrators, considering the appeal for several days, could still refuse, depriving the user of the opportunity to implement his decision. In the best case, when making a positive decision, deletion occurred only after the user presented documents proving his identity, which is also not very convenient and pleasant - not every person, without hesitation, decides to present his passport to a representative of unofficial structures. The only way out for those who, in spite of everything, still did not abandon the idea of getting rid of the hated page was a violation of the rules of the site, which entailed blocking the user and closing the page. An effective, but a little dangerous way - site administrators can block access to the site for such a user, after which he may lose the possibility of a new registration.
Of course, these difficulties are not without reason. Such difficulties were invented so that the question "How to delete someone else's VKontakte page?" had no answer.
New rules
Since 2012, the procedure for deleting your page for site users has been greatly simplified. Now for this it’s enough to go down to the very bottom of the page with the settings of your VKontakte page, this is located in the panel on the left of the page, the item “My Settings”. There appeared an inscription: "You can delete your page." Everything is very simple - click on the link. Immediately after this, the system will open the next page of the page deletion procedure, where you will have to indicate the reason for this decision and, if you wish, check the box "Tell friends" - then all users in your friends list will be notified that your page has been deleted. This completes the process of deleting the VKontakte page .
Conclusion
Do not think that the creators of the site have forgotten about security, and now the page of any user is so simple to delete. In order to perform any manipulations with the user's personal page, you must enter the site, knowing his username and password. Of course, this is not one hundred percent protection, because viruses and professional crackers can gain access to your data. In order to avoid such situations, it is recommended to use anti-virus programs and do not save a bunch of "login-password" on the computer.
And finally, I want to focus on the fact that when registering on any site, and even more so on social networks, we indicate a lot of our personal data, such as passport data, phone number, address. Often when you delete a page, it, including all user data specified during registration, is deleted only visually. In fact, the data remains on the servers, leaving you with the possibility of subsequent account recovery. Do not forget about this if you delete the page because you do not want your data to be accessible to anyone. Of course, this data is not in the public domain, but do not flatter yourself that you deleted everything.
