Deleting the page "VKontakte" and restoring

"VKontakte" is one of the most popular social networks in RuNet. With it, you can chat with friends, find new friends, view photos and learn the news. However, in the 21st century, people sometimes go beyond the bounds of reason, sitting on social networks for several hours every day. Sometimes it can even turn into addiction. Therefore, citizens, for one reason or another, want or are forced to leave this service. This article will talk about deleting the VKontakte page and restoring it.

Why do people leave social media?

Of course, there are many different reasons for deleting a VKontakte page, and they are different for each person. However, it is possible to single out a number of the main motives of people, because of which they decide such a “feat”.

One of these reasons is that users are afraid for the security of their data postedon a social media page. Some are afraid of the possibility of his page being hacked, or the fact that someone else can see his personal information and use it against the page owner himself. Therefore, wanting to maintain their privacy, they resort directly to deleting the VKontakte page and all the data posted on it.

Another reason is the fear of surveillance of the page by the government and the FSB, which obviously care about other people's information of the most ordinary person. After watching various television programs, some run to delete their pages, as it begins to seem to them that people are sitting somewhere upstairs reading all their messages and viewing the information that the user unconsciously publishes on his wall. However, to believe it or not is the right of the person himself, and everyone decides for himself.

Also, many people believe that being on this social network is already a relic of the past, which has long since lost its relevance. Deleting their VKontakte pages, they peacefully crawl to Facebook or Instagram, paying tribute to fashion.

Many people leave this social network because of the strong dependence on the opinions of other users, as well as likes and comments. In an effort to become popular and promote their page, they sometimes forget about home, work and family, “living” all their lives in social networks. Realizing this, people are trying to get rid of this addiction forever, and the easiest and fastest way is to delete the VKontakte page.

And the most common reason whypeople decide on such a "selfless" step - this is to attract attention. Sometimes people want to draw attention to themselves and want to communicate more with people not on the Internet, but in real life. By doing so, they want to distance themselves from fake friends who write when they just get bored, and spend more time with their real friends, go out and have fun, and not sit for hours staring at an empty monitor.

How to leave VKontakte via computer

In order to delete a page, you need to follow these steps step by step:

After that, the “General” tab will automatically open in the settings. We go down almost to the very end and click on the “Delete page” link.

A window will open in front of you, where you must confirm your deletion of the VKontakte page, and also indicate the reason why you are doing this. In the field where you need to describe this information in more detail, you can write either your own version or use quite interesting and funny templates. After all the fields are filled in, click the “Delete page” button again. By the way, you can leave the checkbox next to the “Tell Friends” signature unchecked, and then your friends and subscribers on Vkontakte will not receive a notification in the news feed about deleting the page.

How to leave VKontakte using the mobile version on your phone

Although the principle of deleting a page remains the same, deleting from this social network from the phone is somewhat different from the previous paragraph due to the fact that the design of different versions of the site is different. Recently, the mobile application has ceased to support the account deletion function, because it has recently been updated again. Therefore, you will have to delete it through the mobile version of VKontakte, which opens in the browser. To do this, you need:

Authorize on the site in the browser, through the mobile version.
In the upper left corner there is an icon with three stripes, you need to click it, and from there go to the “Settings” section.

Just like in the full version of the site, the “General” tab will be opened for us. Let's go down and at the very end we will see the same inscription as in the full version, “Delete page” and click on it.
Fill in all the required fields, as mentioned above.

Similar to the first result, we go to such a page, which means that it was successfully deleted.

Consequences of page deletion

Many people think about the question of what happens after the deletion of the page "VKontakte"? So, after deleting a page, it can be restored at any time of the day or night, whenever you want. However, if you do not restore it within 7 months, then it undergoes a complete removal. This means that it can no longer be opened, and the information left there when deleted cannot be erased. So all the likes and comments you write on the pages of other users, as well as the name under which they are published, will remain there forever. Therefore, if you don’t like it, then you should change your first and last name to fake ones.

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that when deleting the VKontakte page, the number will be unlinked only if the page was subject to final deletion, that is, more than seven months have passed since its deletion.

How to recover through the full version of the site

Often, after a user leaves a social network, he decides to return and thinks: "How can I restore my VKontakte page after deletion?". Fortunately, restoring a page from a computer on this social network is not difficult at all, and it is done in almost two clicks.

In order to do this, you just need to go to your deleted page and click on the “Restore” link next to the “Page deleted” inscription. And about a miracle! The page is restored in the blink of an eye. However, it should be remembered that thisonly possible if the page has not been taken down for more than seven months, as mentioned earlier.

How to recover through the mobile version of the site

"Revive" the page in this social. Networking from your phone is as easy as on your computer. Similarly to the actions in the full version, you can restore the VKontakte page after deletion and through the phone. Only the mobile version of the site will help us with this. There is also a “Restore” link, and by clicking on it, the page will also be restored.

Why is the page on VKontakte not being restored?

As we found out earlier, a deleted VKontakte page can be restored through the full version on a computer and through a mobile one on a phone. However, it happens that due to some error it is impossible to do this. This does not happen often, but, fortunately, if a user suddenly encounters such a problem, then he will most likely be able to handle it, and he will be able to restore the account on his own. If suddenly the page does not want to be restored, then you can try the following list of actions:

This could be a common bug or a glitch. It's worth trying again or coming back to this after a while, until the site or app gets sorted out.
It's worth checking to see if this page has been permanently deleted and if it's been seven months since your account was deleted.
You can try to log into the social network using a different browser, it is possible that the browser you are using is undergoing maintenance.

How to view a page that has been deleted through Yandex?

The sequence of actions is quite simple, and all you need is the presence of the Yandex search engine and a link to your previous account. You will need:

In the Yandex search box, enter the page link and click the “Search” button.
Among the results, the very first one is the page you need. Clicking on a direct link will only take you to a page that no longer contains your information.
To see what page was before deletion, that is, what the search engine managed to save it, you need to click on the small arrow under the direct link. Then click on the inscription "Saved copy". It is she who will take you to the once live page, but it will not be restored.

How to freeze a page temporarily

Contrary to misconceptions, deleting and freezing a page are two different things. If the page is deleted by the user, then he can restore it at any time. And the page is frozen on behalf of the site administration and it can be restored only after a certain period. Freezing the page is an ideal option for those who want to “end” their dependence on VKontakte, but are not entirely sure of their willpower and are afraid that they will “break loose”. There are several reasons why network administrators freeze the pages of certain users. This is:

If a user forwards spam in private messages to other users or on wallsvarious groups and in the comments.
Sharing inappropriate content.
Deliberate promotion of your page, winding up likes, reposts and comments.
Sharp and suspicious activity.
Many complaints from users.

It is worth remembering that the term for unfreezing a page with each violation increases and increases, so you should be careful with this.
