How to delete a profile in Odnoklassniki in the desktop and mobile versions of the site forever

Greetings, readers of the iklife.ru blog.

Communication on social networks brings us joy, the feeling that we have met our friends. Such communication replaces live meetings when we are far from each other or there is not enough time to see each other. But sometimes social networks turn into a burden or a kind of addiction. Having realized this, we are looking for a way to delete a page on Odnoklassniki and erase traces of our presence. In this article, I will provide clear step-by-step instructions, and also talk in more detail about the reasons and consequences of deleting your account.

Preparation

Think carefully about what result you want. To get rid of uninvited guests and ill-wishers, you do not need to delete yourself from Odnoklassniki; it will be enough to close your profile to all strangers, clear your list of friends and, if desired, delete some of the information from the page.

If it seems to you that social networks are a waste of time, they distract you from important matters, and you feel somewhat addicted, then you can simply log out of your account, close the site and not visit it for a while. After a couple of months, you may want to come back and continue communication.

If you decide to delete your profile, I recommend saving your login and password, and remembering the phone number and email address to which your account is linked. Then you will have the opportunity to restore the page within 90 days after deletion. Now you are confident in your choice, but time will pass and everything can change. Leave yourself an escape route. If you do not change your mind within 3 months, your profile will be permanently deleted.

Before you disappear from the social network, save all the materials you need, and also warn your friends about your decision so that they do not worry.

Note: within 3 months after deleting your old account, you cannot create a new profile linked to the same phone. To register again on the social network, you will need a second number, or you will have to wait 90 days.

How to recover a deleted account

Restoring a profile on any social network is considered a long and tedious procedure that can take several hours and still not be successful. Fortunately, the developers of almost all sites have come up with several options with which the user can restore his page easily and quickly.

Odnoklassniki also provides a number of methods that allow you to restore your account, even if your phone is hacked or lost. Each of the options listed below is working and is successfully used by users of the social network.

by first and last name;
by phone number;
if identification data is lost;
if the page is hacked;
if the profile is blocked;
if the page has been deleted from the phone.

It can be extremely difficult to restore a deleted page on the Odnoklassniki social network, but it is possible. Registering a new account is allowed only after 90 days from the date of blocking and clearing of data. To do this you need to: go to the “Registration” section and follow the instructions.

It is possible to log in and revive the old page using friends’ photos. To do this you need:

Go to the “Personal Data” section.
Enter your last name, first name and other personal information.
Select your page from the list provided.
Confirm sending the letter to a valid e-mail.
Check your mailbox, open the notification and follow the link provided inside.

Once on your page, all you have to do is choose a new password and use it instead of the old one.

How to remove yourself from your computer

You can completely delete a page only in the full version of Odnoklassniki. This option is free, but it's not that easy to find. Open the ok.ru website, enter your credentials and go to your personal section. To do this, click on your full name on the left side of the screen under the main photo.

Now scroll down the page until a block with sections of the site appears on the left under the advertisement. Click on “More” and select “Regulations”.

If you don’t see this line, then go to the “Friends” section, roll the mouse wheel and look at the left side of the screen.

When the regulations open in front of us, we again go down to the very bottom and click on the inscription “Refuse services”.

In the last step, indicate the reason, account password and confirm your decision.

Removal via codes in the address bar

At the moment, you will not be able to delete the Odnoklassniki website from your computer forever using this method. But we’ll still briefly tell you about it (what if the creators decide to include it again):

in any browser you must be logged in from your OK account;
go to the address bar and paste the following text: https://www.odnoklassniki.ru/dk?cmd=PopLayer&st.cmd=userConfig&st.layer.cmd=PopLayerDeleteUserProfile.;
A blank screen will appear in front of you with a single window for deleting a profile;
Enter the password for the profile and confirm the action with the appropriate button.

It is worth noting that there is no separate OK application for computers, so all the described methods only work in browsers. You will find a separate material on restoring a page in Odnoklassniki on our website.

How to delete via phone

If you want to leave a social network using an Android phone or iPhone, open the browser installed on your device, open the ok.ru website and log in.

As I already said, you cannot remove yourself from the mobile version or application. Therefore, you need to open the full version of the site with all the options. To do this, click on the menu in the left corner of the screen.

Go down and click on the penultimate item.

In the window that appears, touch the “Go” inscription.

Now find the word “More” in the lower left corner, tap on it and then click on the link to the regulations. If it doesn’t work, click on the “Help” link.

Now select “Access to profile”.

Then go to the last item “Delete profile” and tap on the first question.

Follow the link.

Below we see the already familiar inscription.

Click on it, select the reason, enter the password for the page and touch the “Delete” button with your finger.

Note: if you do not see this treasured button, then swipe your finger across the form window. Not on the screen as a whole, but specifically on the part where you noted the reason and entered the code. Another option is to flip the phone to a horizontal position.

How to log out of Odnoklassniki on your phone from the mobile version of the site

If communication on a social network occurs through the mobile version of the site, to exit you will need to slightly change the algorithm described above.

Open the main menu by touching the icon (three stripes) in the upper left corner.
Scroll down the list that opens, and tap on it.
There is no need to confirm the action; the process is performed automatically.
When using this option, the profile is saved, and it is possible to return to your page without entering personal identifiers.

On the next screen you can see that the fields for entering identification data remain filled in and anyone can easily access the page. To correct the situation and remove the login and password from the browser memory (for example, Google Chrome), you will need:

Call up the menu by touching the three dots icon at the top right.
Open browser settings.
Go to the "Passwords" tab.
Find the item “or.ru” and tap on it.
Select the saved password and click on the “Trash” icon.

From now on, it will be difficult for any outsider to get to the social network page.

How to delete a page if you can't access it

A situation may arise that you have been hacked, or the administration has blocked your account for violating the rules, and you cannot restore it, the old login and password do not work. In this case, you can still remove yourself from OK, but you will have to tinker a little and spend more time.

First way

Go to the website ok.ru, there should be a menu line at the bottom. We are interested in the regulations.

Scroll down the text and click on the “Contact support” link.

Select a topic and click on the inscription “I have another question.”

Now fill out the form fields and send your request to the social network administration. Indicate a real and valid email, explain in detail the essence of the problem, provide evidence that this is your page and you have the right to control its fate.

This could include old credentials, descriptions of recent photos, videos, posts, the date you lost control of your account, the device and location you last accessed online.

Second way

If you do not find the “Regulations” section, click on the word “Help” in the upper right corner.

Now open the instructions by clicking on the corner next to the inscription “How to contact Customer Support?”

Find the link in the text and click on it.

Then fill out the form as described in the first method.

What does a deleted page look like?

After you open the regulations and refuse the services of the social network, your profile will become inaccessible to all users. When you go to it, the following message will appear on the screen.

If the account has not been deleted, but is closed from uninvited guests, then instead of the name there will be the text “Closed Profile”, and visitors will also see the main photo. The feed and all sections will be unavailable for viewing.

Why can't I log out of my account?

From time to time there are users who claim: I can’t leave the social network. They are unable to delete the page or log out of their profile. Why is this happening?

Browser cache is full.

The cache is used to store temporary information, data and files that are used by the device most often. If it is full, then the operation of the phone, tablet, or browser may freeze. It is recommended to clear the cache.

Phone or tablet memory is full.

It is better to immediately delete unnecessary photos, videos, and unused applications.

There is no “refuse services” button if the attempt to delete the account was from the phone.

Therefore, it is better to go to the full version of the site by clicking the corresponding button in the “other” section.

In this article, we reviewed instructions that should help secure your account on the Odnoklassniki website. Exiting or completely deleting a page from a social network will not require much time and effort.
