How to delete music on VK without wasting too much time on this simple matter? At first glance, it seems that such a question should not bother users, since there is nothing complicated in the procedure for deleting records. But upon closer examination of the functionality proposed by the administration of the social network, it turns out that each song will have to be removed separately. To do this, click the cross next to the audio recording and refresh the page. There is no separate button for clearing the entire music list at once.
That is, the existing task will not cause difficulties for those who want to get rid of several songs, but it will turn out to be quite difficult for owners of solid, long playlists. They will have to spend a lot of time cleaning the list of audio recordings or think in advance about finding a universal way to destroy the collected music collection.
How to delete all VKontakte audio recordings at once?
Despite the complexity of the task at hand, there are 2 effective methods for destroying a list of audio recordings:
- using a special script;
- using third-party applications and extensions (for example VKOpt).
It is important to emphasize that using the second approach may become completely unavailable. Now it allows you to achieve the desired result, but the introduction of new functions by the VK administration or simply carrying out an update can limit access to third-party services. And then users will have to look for new programs or wait for updates to existing ones so that their functionality meets the changed requirements. Or hope that people working on the development of the social network have expanded the capabilities of accounts and added additional functions that allow full editing of each section.
Script
The VkOpt extension will help you clear the entire music list. It adds additional functions to the social network that were not provided by official developers. Removing audio currently only works for the old version of VK; the creators of VkOpt promise to transfer this favorite option to the new design in the near future.
How to delete music on VK via VkOpt: download the extension for your browser from the link. Restart the application and open the social network, a welcome script window will appear. To quickly clear the list of songs, go to the “Music” section and click on the new “Delete All” link on the right. Confirm the action and wait for the cleaning process to complete; it may take several minutes. Refresh the page, all your compositions have been deleted.
Script for deleting audio recordings on VKontakte 2020

When choosing the second option, you will need (using the VKOpt utility as an example):

How to delete and restore an audio recording using standard VKontakte tools?
1. To delete a song, first open the “My audio recordings” section (link in the vertical menu on the left side of the avatar).
2. Hover over the track you no longer need. Two icons (options) will appear to the right of its name:
“pencil” — editing the title of the audio track. “cross” is the delete function.
3. Move the cursor to the “cross” (the message “Delete audio recording” will appear). And then left-click on it.
The song will be deleted immediately, but will not visually disappear from the list, but will only acquire a dull tint. As long as you are in the audio recordings section, it can be restored.
Attention! If you go to the main page of your account and then return to the music section, the deleted tracks will disappear. You will have to search/download them again and add them to the catalog.
So, if the “cross” was clicked by mistake, to return the audio track, do the following:
In the field of the song you just deleted, click the plus sign (a hint “Recover audio recording” will appear above it).
In addition, VKontakte developers have provided a function that allows you to delete audio recordings added within the last seven days. To activate it:
click on the “cross” in the field of the remote audio track (located next to the “plus”); in the modal window that appears, confirm your intentions: click the “Delete” button.
Attention! When this function is activated, all tracks that appeared in the audio collection over the past week are removed, regardless of their status, both active and deleted (colored dimly with a “plus” icon for recovery).
