How to delete your group on VKontakte

Any member of the social network can easily create a Vkontakte community. For this, all the necessary instructions are provided, and in the search engine you can find step-by-step instructions for beginners who are still new to the basic requirements on this issue. However, time passes and everything changes, a person has new interests, in this regard, the inevitable question arises, how to delete a group in VK that he himself created? There are several ways to help solve this problem.

Many people care whether it is possible to delete a group on Vkontakte?

First of all, it is impossible to do it just like that, besides, you need to know some rules:

• only its creator, who is the owner and administrator, has the right to manage the affairs of the group, including to remove it;
• the community page should be cleared of any information, this can be considered a deletion;
• when the group remains "empty", without members and publications, it is eliminated when the Vkontakte server is restarted.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to do this simply, since there is no special button for deletion. Despite the fact that you can create a community in a few minutes, you still have to figure out how to remove it.

Of course, if the group is small, undeveloped, did not last long, it will be easier to remove it, but what if it is a whole clan consisting of a thousand or more people, and the page contains a huge amount of informational materials, including forum branches? In this case, alone, most likely, you cannot cope, and you will have to consult with the network technical support staff... At least the administration has a lot more tools and experience in this area.

To take the necessary steps, you will have to act consistently:

1. In your profile, click on the "help" section, located in the upper right corner, where the user's name and photo are located. You can select it from the drop-down menu.
2. A window will open in which there is a list of all possible problems, including answers to the question of how you can delete a group, page, etc.
3. If the participant is satisfied with the proposed actions, he can do so by following the instructions. Otherwise, you should click "this does not solve the problem."
4. After that, in the field that opens, you can make an entry with a request to delete the community. At the end of the appeal, you should make a link to the address of the required page.

In some cases, the administration may respond to the request and eliminate the problem. If not, you can do the removal process with your own hands.

How to delete a group yourself

If there is a desire, and the user understands that he can do everything himself, especially if the created association is small, then you need to start by removing all existing content, which includes previously downloaded materials, including video and audio files, text documents, pdf copies. Of course, valuable information can be downloaded to your PC using add-ons or special applications.

• Option I is the fastest... From your account you will need to go to "my groups" and select control. Further, in the list of groups, click on the desired one and go to the control settings, opening the information on the merger. Opposite each element from the list, set "off", after which you can make your own exit from the group by clicking on the corresponding label.

Knowing how to delete a group in VK that you created yourself, you still need to remember to make sure you delete it. You will need to switch to group management again. It must be understood that now the user will no longer be able to participate in management actions, add materials and participants, as well as remove them. And if there is no admin in the community, then the entire group will be deleted a little later.

• Method II assumes a handwritten, methodical removal of all subscribers and publications:

1. records and photographs are deleted using the cross at the top in the right corner;
2. then video clips are deleted in the same way;
3. remove all existing information by going to the management section;
4. in the same place, in the members tab, all members of the community and administrator assistants are deleted;
5. the wall is closing;
6. the black list of users is cleared;
7. at the end you can delete all links, after that you can leave the group.

It is advisable to change the name, and put “private” in the “type of group” field. If all participants have not been deleted yet, you cannot delete yourself. Only after checking the settings can you log out of the community.

When everything is done correctly, the group will no longer be in the presented list, but it makes sense to try to search for it with the help of a social network search engine. So, having the basic knowledge of how to delete a group on Vkontakte, which he created himself, it is possible to do this manually, sequentially clearing the content and members.

1. Method III most simple. Not everyone has the time to spend it on meticulously clearing all the information available, because this can take several hours.

You can do more practical:

• download important materials to your computer, and then delete them from the group;
• then you can immediately close both the wall and the community;
• the third step is to get out of it.

By the way, if the association was not created by the participant himself, but he was chosen by the previous administration for the role of the new leader, then he can also delete the group in the listed ways and delete himself at the end.

With respect to the public page, when it needs to be deleted, purification must begin with leadership positions. Having demoted the owner, admins and moderators, they remove posts, clean subscribers and then self-delete.

Situations are different, so it is useful to know how to delete a group in VK that you created yourself. It seems difficult only at first glance, however, it is important not to leave the former community ahead of time, because then, having lost the rights of a leader, it will no longer be possible to bring the matter to an end.
