How to delete all photos. Details on how to delete a photo “VKontakte”

In case you want to protect yourself from deadlines for memes and reposts without deleting the entire page.

Over the past month, it became known about several criminal cases for pictures, recordings and reposts on VKontakte. First, Barnaul resident Maria Motuznaya told in a Twitter thread how she was accused of extremism and insulting the feelings of believers because of saved memes on an old page. Then the media learned about similar stories of student Daniil Markin, 38-year-old Andrei Shasherin and Anton Angel.

Similar cases are often filed for old pictures and photographs: on August 7, Tuvan journalist Oyumaa Dongak spoke about her arrest for two archival photos with a swastika, published back in 2014.

Cases are being initiated not only because of posts on VKontakte, but the company that owns the social network, Mail.Ru Group, has called for an amnesty for those convicted of reposting and decriminalization of posts on social networks. But amid the news, some called for the account to be deleted on this particular social network. And those who are not ready to part with their profile began to look for a way to clear the page of potentially extremist posts and memes.

How to delete all posts from a wall

It is impossible to officially delete all posts or comments from a wall on VKontakte at once. Representatives of the social network, in a conversation with TJ, explained this decision as a fight against hackers - this way, attackers will not be able to destroy all information about the user in a few minutes. Therefore, account owners can delete posts only one at a time: to do this, you need to open the menu in the upper right corner of the post, and then click on “Delete post”.

However, there are applications and scripts that complement the functionality of VKontakte. One of them is expansion ViKey Zen for the Chrome browser, which allows you to clear the wall of all entries. After logging in to the service, you need to find the “Other” section and select “Delete posts from the wall.”

How to delete photos

In VKontakte it is possible to delete photos in albums. For this purpose in section with pictures required select an album, click on the pencil icon in the upper right corner, and then click on “Delete album”. This only works with albums created by users: the social network also has sections “Saved photos” and “Photos on my wall.”

These albums cannot be deleted, but when clicking on the pencil icon, profile owners are prompted to select several or all photos and then delete them with one click. Pictures can be pre-downloaded, but VKontakte does not allow you to select the entire album - this will need to be done using third-party services like the VKOpt or Vkpic extension.

How to delete private messages

It is also impossible to delete all messages at once on VKontakte - only individual dialogues. Therefore, you will have to clean your DMs using extensions like ViKey Zen: in the “Messages” section you can delete all incoming and sent messages (including photos), as well as pre-download voice messages. VKOpt allows you to backup individual dialogs in html and txt formats.

How to delete video and audio recordings

As in other cases, it is impossible to delete all video or audio recordings from VKontakte at once: users are asked to do this manually. However, there are scripts that allow you to clear your profile.

- In the video or audio section, you need to scroll to the end of the list;
- Then you need to right-click on the page and select “View code” in the browser;
- In the console that appears, select the “Console” section and paste the scripts there.

javascript:(function())(var a = document.getElementsByClassName("audio"); i=0;inter=setInterval(function())(Audio.deleteAudio(a.childNodes.name);if(i>a.length) clearInterval(inter)),500); ))()

script for audio recordings

(function () ('use strict'; if (!confirm('Delete all Videos?')) return; var deletePostLink = document.body.querySelectorAll('div.video_thumb_action_delete'); for (var i = 0; i< deletePostLink.length; i++) { deletePostLink[i].click(); }alert(deletePostLink.length + ‘ posts deleted’); }());

script for video recordings

How to remove likes

In the news section on VKontakte there is a “Like” item - if it is not there, you can add it to the menu on the right. It shows all the likes given by the user: photos, wall posts, videos and comments.

When you click on the “heart” icon again, the like is removed, but after using the function multiple times, the social network will ask you to enter a captcha.

TJ did not find a service or script that removes all the likes at once.

Processing . . .

The social network Vkontakte is a platform for people to communicate, where anyone can upload almost any information - videos, pictures, text messages, etc. But what if for some reason you need to delete the information posted on it? The developers of VK.com have provided the ability to erase unnecessary user data on the user’s part. Next, let's look at how the removal process itself occurs.

Deleting VKontakte photos

Your personal photos. As a rule, they are stored in albums and on your wall. After deletion, they cease to be available to all users, including you;
Photos added to the album "Saved". In many ways they are very similar to the previous ones. You can delete them and no one will see this particular photo on your page. However, if the image was added to this album from another source (this album has such a function), then it can be found in the original source, provided that it was not deleted there too;
Photos saved in dialogues. In this case, they are saved only in dialogues and no one except the dialogue participants can view them. However, you will only be able to delete the image on your side. It may be available to other participants in the dialogue for a long time after deletion.

Additionally, please note that regardless of the category of the photo, it will still remain on VKontakte servers for some time, but will not be available to users. If necessary, that is, at your request, images can be restored from the server data. However, if several months have passed since the photo was deleted, it will no longer be possible to restore it.

To make it easier to delete downloaded pictures in the future, sort them by album when downloading. This will make the deletion process more convenient and will also allow you to delete a large number of photos at once.

Option 1: Single photo deletion

This option will consider the case when the photos are not distributed among albums or you need to delete a specific photo. The standard functionality of the VKontakte social network is quite suitable for this. It is recommended to be careful, since after deleting and reloading the page, it will be impossible to restore the picture without help from the VKontakte administration.

Let's move on to the instructions for this option:

After logging into your profile on a social network, go to the section "Photos", which is located in the left menu.

Now select the desired album or desired photo. To view images without being linked to an album, you just need to scroll down the page a little.

Open the image you want to remove.

Pay attention to the toolbar located under the picture. Here you need to use the item of the same name.

After you click on the inscription "Delete" In the upper left part of the photo there will be a notification about the successful completion of the procedure. If required, the photo can be restored using the button of the same name located opposite. Once the page is refreshed, restoration will no longer be possible.

If you delete a photo simply because you don't want strangers or certain people looking at it, then you can move it to a special album. For each album on VKontakte, you can set your own privacy settings and protect certain groups of users or any specific user from viewing it. However, this is not relevant to the topic of the article.

Option 2: Bulk Delete

Unfortunately, the administration of the social network Vkontakte did not provide users with a full-fledged tool for deleting a large number of photos at the same time. True, there are several options here that allow you to “crank out” this procedure. As a rule, erasing in this case occurs by deleting the album along with all unnecessary images:

By analogy with the previous method, log in to the social network and go to the tab "Photos".

From the list of albums, select the one you would like to delete. Hover your cursor over it and click on the pencil icon that appears.

In the upper right part of the editor window, click the button "Delete album".

Confirm the action in the pop-up window.

There will be no button here after deletion "Restore". Restoration will be possible only by contacting VKontakte technical support, so be careful before confirming the action.

Also, the social network VK.com provides in its arsenal a tool for deleting not the entire album, but only those images that the user has marked. This function does not apply to all albums, for example, the album "Saved Photos" does not apply.

The instructions in this case will look like this (applicable to the album "Photos on my wall"):

Go to section "Photos". Find the album in which you would like to “clean up” the photos. Select it with the cursor and click on the pencil icon.

Select the images you want to remove. To do this, simply click on the check mark icon in the upper corner of the picture.

When you select the photos you want, click on the button "Delete", which is located in the upper right part of the album editor window.

A window will appear where you need to confirm your actions.

Option 3: Deleting photos from “Saved”

"Saved Photos" is a special album that the user cannot delete, plus its editing rights are slightly limited compared to other albums. Yes, it is possible to make it private, protecting it from all other users of the social network. But what if you need to “clean up” your saves?

In this case, you can use the standard method of deleting photos:

This option is perfect if you need to delete a few photos and/or there are very few of them in the album. But what to do when there are several hundred or thousand elements? In this case, you can use a specialized application that is built into Vkontakte itself.

First, you will need to create an album where all the images that you intend to delete will be placed:

Now let's move on to using the application:

In the left user menu, click on the item "Games".

Here a menu will open with a list of various games and applications that are integrated into VKontakte and do not require installation on your computer and/or browser. In the search bar located at the top, enter the name of the application "Transfer photo".

Launch the found add-on. If the search returned several results, then run the option that is most similar to the one shown in the screenshot.

After launching the application, pay attention to the column "Where". Here, from the drop-down list below, you need to select an album "Saved Photos".

In the column "Where" By analogy, select the album to which the photos will be moved. In this case, it's the album you just created. You can also create a new album directly in the application interface using the button of the same name, however, this is not recommended through this interface, as there is a risk of incorrect display.

Select all the photos you want to put in the album for deletion. To avoid having to struggle with selection for a long time, just click on the button "All" located at the top of the interface.

Click on the button "Move".

Wait for the photos to move and delete the album using standard social network tools according to the instructions described above.

Option 4: Removing photos from dialogs

Dialogues on VKontakte allow you to exchange photos and other media data. All photos that you sent in correspondence are stored on the servers of the social network, and not by any individual user. You can delete a dubious image from the correspondence, but only you will have it disappear, while it will remain with the other participants in the dialogue for an indefinite period.

The procedure for deleting photos from a dialogue on VKontakte looks the same for both correspondence with one person and for a dialogue with a group of people:

Expand the tab in the left menu "Messages".

Open the conversation or dialogue where the picture you would like to delete is located.
At the very top of the dialog box interface, notice the ellipses in the video. Click on it to open the context menu. From there go to "Show attachments".

In "Attachments" you can find the photo you need, but it’s worth considering that other media data that was sent during this dialogue is also shown there. To see only pictures, select the tab in the top menu of the window "Photos".
Additionally, please note that you can view all pictures uploaded by all participants in the conversation/dialogue, and not just your own. From the list of photos, select the one to be deleted.
It will open in the interface of a regular photo viewer from VKontakte. Here in the bottom panel you need to click on the item "Delete".

If necessary, it can also be restored, but until you reload the page.

To complete the deletion procedure, simply refresh the page or go to some other section of the site.

You can also delete photos and other media sent by other users in a conversation, but only you will delete them. They will also be available to other participants in the conversation indefinitely.

Deleting entries on VKontakte

Posts that you posted on your VKontakte wall may lose their relevance. In this case, records, like photographs, can be deleted, but it is worth considering a couple of nuances. For example, after they are deleted, they will no longer be visible to you and other users, but they will be stored on VKontakte servers for several months, therefore, at the request of you or other authorized persons, they can be restored.

Option 1: Manual cleaning

Perfect if you need to delete posts selectively and/or there are not many of them on your page. However, if you have many more entries on your page, then this method is unlikely to suit you, since it is very labor-intensive, as it requires deleting each entry “manually”.

The instructions for this option are as follows:

An overview of your page will open, where you can see the last few photos in a special block, as well as all the posts that you or other users have published on your wall. To access the edit entry, click on the ellipses icon.

From the context menu, select the option "Delete entry".

The entry will be deleted, but you can restore it using a special button. After refreshing the page, this button will disappear.

Information about the content of the post will still be stored on VKontakte servers for some time, but after a couple of months all data there will be deleted. While the information is stored on the server, you can request recovery from technical support.

Option 2: Code Review Console

In this case, we are talking about deleting all posts on the wall or most of them using a special JS script. At first glance, this method may seem complicated due to the need to paste the code into a special web browser console, but it will be much easier than the previous one.

In this case, it is advisable to use a browser with normal console support. Almost all modern web browsers are equipped with it, but not all can boast of user-friendliness. For example, the most convenient browsers in this regard are Google Chrome and Yandex.

The instructions for this option are as follows:

Go to your home page by clicking on "My page".

You need to scroll through the page, skipping some entries. It is not necessary to scroll to the end.
Right-click on any empty space on the page. A context menu will open where you need to select an option "View code" or "Examine Element". The caption may vary depending on the browser, but it will always be at the very bottom of the context menu.

A section for viewing and editing the page code will open at the bottom or right. To enter and run the script, you need to go to the tab "Console".

Here copy and paste the code you see below:
(function () ( "use strict"; if (!confirm("Delete all posts from the wall?")) return; var deletePostLink = document.body.querySelectorAll("a.ui_actions_menu_item"); for (var i = 0; i
To apply the code, press on your keyboard Enter.

A window will pop up asking you to confirm your actions. Click "OK".

After application, you will see that the entries have been deleted, but you will have active links to restore them. Once the page is reloaded, the links will disappear.

Option 3: Script for the address bar

This option is a kind of analogue of the previous one, although less stable. The essence remains approximately the same - you enter a special script, however, this time you enter it not into the console, but into the address bar of the browser.

This option has some disadvantages, for example, it does not work very stably with the new VK design, after using it the browser will be “stupid” for some time, and deleted entries can no longer be restored. If you decide to use this option, then this is what the instructions for it look like:

Using the options discussed, you can easily get rid of old posts on your VKontakte page.

Deleting messages on VKontakte

If for some reason you need to get rid of dialogues on VKontakte, then you can delete them or delete a separate message. However, it is worth remembering that in most cases you will delete messages only from yourself, while the interlocutor will have them. If neither you nor the interlocutor return to the conversation for a long time (more than 6 months), then the messages will eventually disappear from him too.

Let's move on to the available ways to delete messages on VKontakte.

Option 1: Removal using standard means

There is nothing complicated here. This option is recommended if you need to delete a few dialogs or delete them selectively. You can use any Internet browser for this method; you do not need to install any add-ons.

The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

Deleting a dialogue on VKontakte cannot be canceled using standard methods, so make sure that you no longer need the correspondence or that you can get the necessary information from it if necessary.

Additionally, there is another way to delete a dialogue in VK:

Option 2: Delete all dialogs at once

The social network itself does not have functionality that allows you to get rid of all correspondence at once. However, it is available in special applications and browser add-ons. You should only use the most trusted ones. It is also worth considering that in this case all existing dialogs are deleted and they cannot be restored.

Let's move on to installing a special add-on (it is recommended to use Google Chrome or Yandex Browser):

Now let's look at how to use this add-on to directly delete dialogs:

Click on its icon in the address bar.
In the context menu, click the button "Add account".

You will have to log into your VK account if you have not already done so. Additionally, you will need to allow the application to use your account data. It is important to understand that the application will still not be able to access your account.

After adding a VK account, you need to click on the add-on icon again, then on the button "Settings".

Pay attention to the block "Dialogues". Here you need to check the box next to the option "Quickly delete dialogs".

Now go to the dialogues on VKontakte.

Pay attention to the panel located on the right side. There should be an item "Delete conversations". Select it.

In the pop-up window you need to confirm your actions. You can also delete only those conversations that have unread messages. To do this, use a special item (check the box).

Confirm deletion. And wait for it to complete.

Option 3: Deleting messages from the interlocutor

Innovations in the social network VKontakte allow users to completely get rid of those letters that were sent no later than 24 hours ago. In this case, they are deleted not only from you, but also from the recipient. The conditions are the same for both a regular dialogue and a conversation with several people:

Using the images discussed in the article, you can “clean up” your VKontakte page as much as possible from unnecessary and/or compromising information.

During communication and other activities on the most popular network VKontakte, the user may end up with a real pile of irrelevant, old photos that he no longer needs. Unfortunately, there is no button that would help you completely remove all these files, and deleting images one by one is tedious and takes quite a lot of time. In this regard, I would like to know how to delete all saved VKontakte photos at once, and in general, is this possible?

It is probably difficult to find a person who does not have his own VK account. Many people spend a lot of time on their profile; some use the page to do business or increase their self-esteem. It doesn’t matter for what purpose, but enough photos are published every day. It’s one thing if all unnecessary photo files are collected in one album, then you can delete it entirely, but more often it happens that they are placed in different albums, and then you’ll have to act differently.

using a special application;
using a script.
