Over time, frequent gatherings on social networks become boring. Therefore, a user of such a network sometimes has a desire to delete his personal data or completely delete his account. Not all social networks allow deleting an account, and deleting personal data or editing it has always been possible. This article will describe in detail the deletion of data from the page of the Vkontakte website.
Necessary
Internet browser, social network "Vkontakte"
Instructions
Step 1
Any data that you once diligently hammered into fields to display information can be easily deleted. The reason for such deletion may be the realization that the data entered by you can be used by someone against you: you indicate your phone number, place of work, your home address. Vkontakte has become a kind of database for the special services. There are many known cases of intimidation of a person, sending angry sms messages, etc.
Step 2
Start removing personal information from a photo called your profile picture. While on your page, click the "edit" link, which is located opposite the "My page" link. Go to the "Photo" tab. Click the Delete Photo button. Also, this action can be done by clicking on the "Delete photo" link under your profile avatar.
Step 3
Now you need to change all the information that you entered into the user profile. Start from the very first tab, edit the values (change the values to fictitious) or delete them entirely. After making changes, do not forget to save the changes by clicking the button of the same name.
Step 4
Next, we set up the notification and privacy settings. Click the My Settings link in the left pane of the home page. On the page that opens, go to the "Privacy" tab. Set the values "Nobody" or "Only me" in front of each item. Click the Save button.
Step 5
On the "Alerts" tab, set the "Never notify" value in front of each item, then click the "Save" button. On the "Updates" tab, uncheck all the checkboxes and click the "Save" button.
Step 6
As a result of the actions taken, you will see a completely blank page. Of course, the data you deleted will no longer be able to be viewed by other users, but this information will be stored for a long time in the databases of the Vkontakte social network.
