How to delete all saved VKontakte photos immediately and selectively from your phone

Hello everyone, dear visitors of the blog cho-cho.ru. In our article today we will talk about how to delete all saved VKontakte photos at once. After all, sometimes there are not a dozen or even a hundred of them, but they need to be removed quickly and in a short time. There are several effective ways to do this...

This social network appeared in 2006 and today is considered the most popular platform among young people. Almost everyone has a personal page on VKontakte and many users spend several hours a day here.

As in any social network, users have the opportunity to publish photos on their page and often, having published a photo, the user realizes that it is not entirely successful and he does not want other users to see it. Of course, photos can be deleted at any time, and if deleting one photo is not difficult, then what if there are a lot of photos and you need to delete them all at once? Read more about this in this article.

Deleting one photo at a time is tediously time-consuming, and there is no function on this platform that allows you to do this in one click. If the photos to be deleted are in one album, you can delete the entire album, but if they are stored in different albums, use one of the methods described below.

There are two ways to delete all saved photos at once:

using the application;
using a script.

Why is this necessary?

VK is a social network that is always popular. Today the site ranks first in the CIS in terms of the number of active users. Why are more and more people registering on it?

The portal allows you to always stay in touch with friends.

VK has the ability to save photos and pictures. A similar function may be required in the following cases:

You want to keep the photo in your album for quick access to viewing it.
The image contains important information that should always be at hand.
You just liked the picture or meme, you don’t want to lose it.

You can store an unlimited number of images in an album. In most cases, users fill it with various pictures or memes that they found in groups. Therefore, the real value of all images is not that high.

Sometimes users need to delete all saved photos in a contact all at once. But first, let's look at the reasons for performing such an operation:

You need to get rid of unnecessary images.
You want to completely clear the album.
Do you want to start filling it out again?
There is no important information in it, so you can safely get rid of all the images.

How to delete all saved files using the CleanerVK mobile application

How to use this application:

This is a very simple method. Once you get rid of the pictures, the application can be easily erased. It does not steal users' personal data, so it is safe to use. In addition, there are many more similar applications.

How to save a picture to yourself?

First, let's look at the process of saving images to your page. This function allows you to move your favorite pictures to a special folder. To do this you will need to follow a number of simple steps:

Open the image you like.
Under the picture there is an item “Save to yourself”. Click on it.
The image is automatically copied to a special collection.
In the future, you can find it in the “Saved Photos” folder.

In order not to have to clean the collection, it is enough not to clutter it with unnecessary images. Be responsible about filling this album, then you can quickly find important photos in it.

How to delete photos in VK all at once from all albums

Many people are concerned about the question of how to delete photos on VK all at once. This is true if the album has hundreds or even thousands of photos. Let's figure out how to do this.

Editing a personal page on the VKontakte social network is completely normal for any user. You can change basic settings, contacts, interests, add new posts to the wall and delete old ones. In one of my articles, I wrote how to quickly delete all posts from a VK wall. I advise you to read it.

Now it's time to touch on the topic of photos and images in your personal profile. All of them are stored in albums, the names of which are chosen by the user himself. It doesn’t matter how you uploaded the photo to a social network: using built-in functions or third-party tools. The deletion process is always the same - one photo at a time.

How to delete a VK photo using standard site tools

This is the easiest way to delete photos from a social network. You need to go to your personal page and then go to the “Photos” .

All the images that you add to the wall or through the photos section will be stored here in different albums. To delete all photos, we will proceed as follows.

The photos are displayed in front of you in order from newest to oldest. Select the option you want to remove. The photo will open at full size with additional options at the bottom. There will be a "Delete" button.
After clicking it, the photo will be deleted, but the “Restore” button will appear immediately above if the user suddenly changes his mind.

Of course, if you don't want other users to see certain photos, but don't want to delete them, then hiding them would be the best option. Firstly, images can be downloaded to your computer and deleted from the social network. Secondly, move them to an album that is protected by privacy settings. Here's how to do it.

Go to the "Photos" section.
Select the “Create Album” option at the top.
Give the album a title and description, and in the bottom two boxes, check the “just me” .
Click “Create Album”.
Open the photo you want to transfer and point the mouse cursor to the “More” item.
Select the “Move to Album” option.

How to delete an entire album on VK with all photos

To delete multiple VKontakte photos, you don’t have to waste your time clearing files one by one, but rather delete an entire album or albums. All images stored there will be destroyed without a trace.

So, how to delete all photos at once on VK? It's safe to delete albums and here's what you need to do.

Open the “Photos” section of VKontakte.
Click on the unnecessary album.
Select the “Edit Album” item.
At the top right we find the button "Delete album".
We confirm the action.

The disadvantage of this method is that it will not be possible to return deleted photos, as happens with deleting one file at a time.

But what if there are important photos in the album and in this case there is simply no desire to clear the album. In this case there is also a solution.

Open the album where there are photos to delete.
Click on the item “Edit album” .
A selection circle will appear above all photos.
Select the photos you want to delete.
Just above we find the “Delete” option.
We confirm the action.

In the same way, you can transfer several files at once to another album.

How to quickly delete saved photos in VK

With saved photos, it would seem that everything is more complicated, because the album cannot be deleted there, and the number of elements can be in the hundreds and thousands. But there is a way out.

Go to the album with your saved photos and click on the link “Edit album” .

A circle will appear on all elements; when you click on it, the photo will be marked. This way you can select multiple files and delete them. Also, a link “Select all photos” , which will save a lot of time if you decide to clear the entire album.

If you don’t want to delete saved photos from VKontakte, you can hide the album in the privacy settings.

Cleaning your saved photo album with an app

In the “Games” section of VKontakte there is an application “Transfer Photos”. It helps to manipulate photos of the entire VK profile.

For example, if for some reason you cannot delete all saved pictures, you can move them to an album you created using the application. Here's how it works.

In the “Games” section, enter the key phrase in the search and launch the “Photo Transfer” .
Let's look at the "From" block. Here we select the album from which the photos will be transferred, for example, “Saved”.
In another “Where” block, select the album we created.
Hold down CTRL and select the elements that need to be moved. You can click the "All" button.
Click the “Move” button.

Thus, you can transfer photos from album to album almost instantly. And then delete them.

Deleting VKontakte photos using a script

On the Internet you can often find scripts written by enthusiasts that simplify working with the social network. In this case, there is a script that helps you delete photos from VK at once. Let's try one popular code.

Go to the “Photos” section of the social network.
While on this tab, press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+I to open the code editor.
Go to the “Console” tab.
Select the album you want to clear.
Open the first photo.
Paste the following code into the console and press the Enter key.

We wait and don’t touch anything. This way I managed to delete all the photos from the album. By the way, I haven’t tried it with Saved Photos, but it might work.

If after repeating the action an error occurs, it means VKontakte has blocked the automatic deletion of photos. You need to wait several hours or even a day. Then the action can be repeated.

How to delete photos from albums on VK from your phone

Whatever VKontakte client for Android or iOS you have, there is a function for deleting and uploading photos and videos. Deleting VKontakte photos from your smartphone is as easy as shelling pears. I’ll show you using two applications as an example – the official client and Kate Mobile.

Instructions to the official client:

Open the “Photos” section.
Open any photo and click on the three dots at the top right.
Select the “Delete” option.
Confirm deletion using “Yes”.

You can also delete albums here. If you open any album you created, the delete option will be in the same section where there are three dots at the top right of the screen.

To move an item to another album, open any photo, click on the three dots, tap “Edit” with your finger, and then select the “Move to Album” option.

Instructions for Kate Mobile:

There are many different versions and modifications of this client for VKontakte. However, the functionality is practically the same. I am using the latest version 52.4 at the moment.

Open the application and go to the “Profile” section, and then to the “Photo” subsection.
Open some element.
There will be three dots at the top right - click.
Select “Delete”.
We confirm the action.

Here, when you click on the “Edit” option, you can transfer photos to other albums.

Unfortunately, applications can only work on one image at a time.

How to delete all photos in a VKontakte dialogue

The social network has personal dialogues and conversations where people exchange not only text messages, but also images, video files and music or voice messages. All this can be removed, but there are several nuances.

Firstly, VKontakte does not have functionality that would delete only multimedia data in correspondence. You will have to do this manually and one file at a time. Secondly, the deleted files will disappear only for you, but for the interlocutor they will remain.

For the first 24 hours, you can delete any message or photo from yourself and your interlocutor, but after that it is impossible to do this (only your messages will be deleted). In the Telegram messenger, now there is no such problem, since you can delete any types of messages from both interlocutors for any period of time.

See how many files in attachments are in conversations with your friend. Over the course of a few years, there can be many hundreds, if not thousands, of them. If you really want to get rid of them, you will have to completely delete the dialogue from both yourself and your friend.

That's all. Now you have learned how to delete photos on VK at once or one at a time, you have dealt with albums, saved photos and dialogues.

It is also worth remembering one small commandment of the Internet - “Once it gets on the Internet, it stays there forever.”

How to quickly delete saved photos in VK?

The first method is piece-by-piece removal. The user will need:

Open an album with saved photos.
Click on the unnecessary image.
It should open full screen.
Under the picture there is a “Delete” option. Click on it.
The image is completely erased.

The disadvantage of this method is that you will have to spend a lot of time deleting a large number of pictures. Therefore, it is only suitable for cases when you need to remove 1-2 images.

In the mobile application

Alas, you can only delete images from your phone one at a time; you won’t be able to get rid of them all at once. So let's figure out how to erase pictures one by one:

Open available albums;

Go to your save files;
Open unnecessary images and click the three dots icon in the upper right corner;

Select the “Erase” menu item.

Ready!

How to remove all photos at once?

How to delete an album with saved photos?

Some users ask: How to delete an album of saved photos in contact? This issue should be examined in detail.

The section with saved photos is for service purposes. Individual albums on the page are created automatically, without user participation in this procedure. It is not possible to remove them in the future.

Therefore, you can only clear the contents of the album. The collection itself cannot be deleted; it will remain on the page forever.

Deleting an album

If changes occur in the social network and the script stops working, you will have to delete photos manually - each album separately. The user's actions in this situation will be as follows:

Go to the VK images section.
Open the full list of albums and hover over the one you want to erase.
Click on the pencil icon that appears in the upper right corner after hovering.

On the photo album editing page, click the “Delete” button located at the top right.

Confirm your intention by repeating the command. Attention! After confirming the action, it will become impossible to restore the pictures - they will be deleted from the servers forever.
