Deleting all saved VKontakte photos: instructions

Previously, I already wrote an article about how to delete all posts from a VKontakte wall in 1 time, today I wanted to write an article on such an issue that worries everyone, like deleting all photos from your account (profile) on the VKontakte social network in almost 1 time, that is, in minimum amount of effort, rather than clicking on the cross of each photo.

It is advisable to install the Google Chrome browser extension – Tempermonkey from the Chrome browser extension store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/tempermonkey?hl=ru (this item is optional)

And for those who need to boost indicators on VKontakte, they can use the soclike.ru service (as an advertisement :).

Complete cleaning via script

A special script that is inserted into the open panel for viewing the source code of the page will help you remove all the photos at once. There is no other option for completing the task, since the social network only allows for deleting albums or individual images.

Instructions for working with the script:

• Log in to your VK account and go to the photos section.
• Press the F12 key on your keyboard to open the developer panel.
• Go to the “Console” tab.
• At the bottom, after the blue arrow, insert the following script, without quotes: “a=0; b=1; while (a!=b){Photoview.deletePhoto();a=cur.pvIndex; Photoview.show(false, cur.pvIndex + 1, NULL); b=cur.pvIndex;}".
• Press Enter.

• Wait until the code finishes; during this time, you cannot go to other pages of the social network.

Reference. VK developers are constantly modernizing the site, so to successfully delete all pictures, changes to the script may be required.

About photos and social network

VK is a huge social network. Now it is the most popular in Russia. Millions of people actively use it. The portal offers many functions, including posting photos.

What are the advantages of this option?

1. You can tell your friends about your life.
2. Share important points.
3. Create albums.
4. Store all your pictures and quickly access them.
5. It is possible to create hidden albums.
6. This function is widely used by users and is very convenient.

But what if you need to delete pictures? When there are not so many of them, it is easier to carry out the operation manually. Just open the section with photos and press the crosses.

If the pictures are collected in albums, then you can erase the collections. But not many users optimize. People usually upload them to a page or photo section.

What if there are a lot of them? How to delete all VKontakte photos at once? Let's look into the situation.

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.

The described procedure must be repeated for all albums in the section.

How to delete all VKontakte photos

Via computer

1. Select the “Photos” item in the left menu.

2. Place the cursor over the album from which you want to delete pictures. A pencil icon will appear in the right corner of the album. Click on it.

3. Click on “Select all photos” on the right.

4. Click “Delete”.

We confirm the deletion, and all saved photos are immediately deleted from Vkontakte.

Via phone

The VKontakte phone application does not have a function for deleting photos. But they can be erased through a browser - the program in which you open sites.

1. In the browser, go to the site vk.com and log in to your page - print your login (phone number) and password.

The picture shows the Google Chrome browser, but it could be any other program: Safari, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Yandex, etc.

2. Usually the mobile version of VK opens. We need to switch to the full version of the site. To do this, click on the button with three horizontal lines in the upper left corner.

At the bottom of the list, select “Computer version”.

A message may then appear asking you to select an application. Specify your browser and click “Only now”.

3. Go to the “Photos” section on the left side of the site.

4. Click on the desired album and hold your finger on it. Usually after this a menu appears. We exit it by clicking “Back”.

5. An icon with a pencil will be drawn in the right corner of the album. Click on it.

6. Album editing opens. Click on “Select all photos”.

7. Click “Delete”.

On a note. If you need to delete pictures not from the wall, but from another album (for example, Saved files), then you can skip steps 4 and 5. Just go into it and select "Edit Album".

Cleaning up the Saved Photos album

Since this photo album was automatically created by the system, it cannot be removed using the method described above. The only option is to erase all the images there. The action is performed instantly, according to the following scheme:

• Go to album editing mode, as indicated in point 3 of the previous list.
• Click on the “Select all photos” link.

• In the menu that appears, click on the “Delete” item.

• Confirm intent. Important! After this, you will not be able to return the pictures.

The described procedure for deleting all VK photos will help the user if they want to completely clean the partition. The simplest option is to use a script, however, given the regular changes in the social network code, it may require modification. Using standard VKontakte tools you can delete individual albums - the method will take some time, but its performance is guaranteed.

We use an application to quickly delete photos

Go to your VKontakte profile. As you can see, I have only 6 pictures, so we will delete them.

Now we need to install the application we are interested in. To do this, enter “Photo Transfer” into the search bar of the social network and select the appropriate option from the proposed results. My application was the very first one. Click on it and click on the “Launch application” button.

Next, go to the “Photos” section in the left menu of the page and create a new album to which we will add all the photos to be deleted. I called it “for deletion”. You can read about how to create a VKontakte album by following the link. After you create an album, select “Games” in the page menu on the left and find the “Photo Transfer” application that we just installed in the list.

Here we need to move the photos that are on your profile into one album. Therefore, in the “From” section, select “My Albums” from the first drop-down list, and “Photos on my wall” from the second. The box shows how many pictures are in this category. In the “Where” section, select the created album from the drop-down list, I have “to delete”.

The photos themselves will be shown below. We need to select them all - click in the “Select/Remove” field on the “All” button. On the right, in the “Selected” field, make sure that all photos are selected – 3/3. Now click "Move".

Thus, move all photos from all categories of the second drop-down list to the “to be deleted” album. The number next to the album name should constantly increase.

Once the photos are added to one album, you just need to delete it from your profile. In the left menu, select “Photos”, open the desired album and click on the “Delete album” button. You can read in detail how to delete an album from a VKontakte photo by following the link.

After that, I only have 2 photos left - they are on my avatar.

To remove them, open them one by one and click “Delete” under each one.

Using the “Transfer Photos” application, it was not possible to delete everything - the photos from the page and those in which you were tagged remained. But considering that there may be 5-6 thousand photos in a profile, manually removing a few from your avatar will not be so difficult.
