How to delete a page in VK from your phone through the VK application
If you decide to abandon the social network VKontakte, then it makes no sense to leave your page with all your personal information. Instead of deleting photos, posts, and so on for a long time, you can completely block your account. Today you will learn how to delete a page in VK from your phone and whether it can be done through the VK application.
Application functionality
The mobile application repeats almost all the functionality of a full-fledged social network site. The set of options includes all the features of communication, multimedia, publishing, groups, and even most of the settings. But the developers of the mobile program did not provide for the possibility of deleting a personal page. Apparently, this option may not appear in the official application at all, since after many updates there is no hint of this feature. The same applies to unofficial versions of VK.
The only option available to users is to delete the page from the application itself, and not from the social network. To do this, you need to open the tab with your profile and go to the settings using the gear button. Scroll down the list and click the "Exit" button. After that, a screen with a choice of accounts will appear. Press the settings button, and then tap on the cross to delete the page from the program's memory.

- Go to the fifth tab, where the user profile is located.
- Click on the top settings button.
- Open the "Account" subsection.
