The Odnoklassniki social network was conceived as a site, the device of which any unprepared visitor can figure out. Probably, for this reason, this site takes the second place among the social networks invented in Russia. But despite the simplicity of the interface and settings, users of the Odnoklassniki.Ru service occasionally experience various problems in its development.
Let's look at some of the most popular questions that people have with the site. It is not always clear how to retire from Odnoklassniki, to clear discussions, to exit the site. Let's try to understand each of these problems.
We clean the section "Discussions"
Many users are fed up with unnecessary information in the News Feed and Discussions. Let's try to get rid of unnecessary news.
First, get rid of unnecessary notes in the "Ribbon". To do this, hover over the news that you do not like. You will see a cross over this “garbage" that you need to click on. A window will appear in front of you with a proposal to hide one note or all news from your friend. If you don’t want to see updates from this person at all, check the box next to “Hide all discussions and events.” Next, confirm your decision. Now there’s less unnecessary material in your stream!
Let's clean up the discussions. To do this, open the “Discussions” section: you will see a complete list of news in the column on the left. Click on any of the discussions, then it will open to the right of the list of all notes. In the upper menu of the window that appears, you will see the name of the author of the news, as well as the inscription "Hide". Click on the word “Hide” and the selected news will disappear from your discussions.
There is another way to clear the Discussion section. To study it, again select a note in the left column and carefully look at it. A cross appeared in the right corner of the icon. By clicking on it, you can delete the unnecessary message from the discussions.
Now you know how to delete discussions in Odnoklassniki. Carefully study other types of communication and correspondence on the site. All of them can be cleaned similarly to discussions.
We are looking for an opportunity to exit the site
In order to exit the Odnoklassniki social network, you need to find the word “Exit” in the top menu of the site (on the right). However, some residents of the Odnoklassniki website do not know how to exit the page. That's because the settings went wrong somewhere. Let's try to fix it.
If the "Logout" button does not work, try clearing the cookies and cache of your browser. If there is no button at all, resize the elements in the browser. To do this, press the key combination “Ctrl” and “Minus”.
Methods for deleting a page in Odnoklassniki
Now, we will examine in detail the question of how to retire from Odnoklassniki. There are several different methods for this, each of which we will consider separately.
So, you can remove from Odnoklassniki in several ways:
- Close your profile.
- Delete page.
- Add characters to your profile address.
What is a Closed Profile
The service "Closed Profile" allows you to hide your information from strangers, as well as restrict access to your page. The function of closing an account is paid, therefore, to connect it, your virtual account must have a sufficient number of OKs.
A free alternative to Closed Profile is Publicity Settings. You can change them manually. Please note that you cannot connect these functions at the same time. These services are mutually exclusive. Let's look at each operation separately.
We close access to the profile for free
First you need to go to the "Settings" section, which can be opened in two ways:
- Click the “More” link in the top menu, and then select the “Settings” item in the list that opens.
- Click on the “Other Actions” caption below your main photo. Now select the “Change Settings” link from the list that appears.
You already know how to enter the "Settings" section. Open it and go to "Publicity Settings." There are three headings here. In the "Show" section, set the value to "Only me." Under the heading "Allow", select "No one" and "Only friends." Under the heading “Confidentiality,” choose the option “No.”
Your next step should be to replace the real personal data with imaginary ones. After that, you should clear all the pages and sections of your profile. There is one “but” in this method: your masked page will still be found according to the old data that you added during registration.
We activate the service "Closed Profile"
In order to activate the Closed Profile service, go to the Settings section. Next, open the "Close Profile" link. After that, a small window will appear in front of you, in which you will be asked to confirm your decision.
Now your page will be hidden from prying eyes until you decide to open it again. If you want to re-close access to your data, the service will need to be activated and paid again. In the event that you do not enter your “Closed Profile” for three months, the page is deleted.
How to permanently leave Odnoklassniki
You have learned to hide your account from strangers. Now it's time to find out how you can retire from Odnoklassniki. Now we will talk about this in detail. But first, pay attention to the fact that you can only leave the classmates in the full version of the site. Mobile does not support this feature.
Go to your profile on the website Odnoklassniki.Ru and scroll to the bottom. You will see a lower menu consisting of several columns. Pay attention to the last column (on the right) and find the line “Regulations” in it. By clicking on it, you will find yourself on a page with rules that you can read. Read it? Now find the link “Opt out of services” under the text of the rules and click on it. Next, enter the password for the account. Then you will be asked to indicate the reason for deleting the profile, and after that you will need to confirm your intentions.
Now your page has been blocked for three months, after which it will be permanently deleted. During this period, it will not be possible to connect the new page to the phone number associated with the old profile.
Extend the link to your profile
This method does not always work and not for everyone. However, you can also try it. This method consists in adding a character profile to the link: “& st.layer.cmd = PopLayerDeleteUserProfile”.
To check the operability of such a deletion, enter your profile, and then click on the name of your page (F.I.). Going to Odnoklassniki, you and I get to the main page of the site, and now we have opened your personal part of the resource. Take a look at the address bar: your account number has appeared there. And it is necessary to add a "cunning" set of characters to it.
If everything works correctly, you will see a window in which you need to confirm the deletion of the page. Hurrah! Now you know everything about removing from Odnoklassniki.
