Why might you need to delete messages?
Before starting to discuss the topic mentioned above, you need to figure out in what direction to conduct further discussion. There are two very interesting points related to the topic under consideration. The first is simply deleting old messages from correspondence. As a rule, users are not particularly concerned about this option. In addition, it does not take much effort and time. The second point is much more interesting. Users are often interested in the question of how to cancel sending a message to a particular interlocutor. So, before you start deleting VKontakte correspondence, you need to decide on the goals you want to achieve. Let's take a closer look at both options.
Story
Let's start our consideration with the first option. How long have you been registered on the social network VKontakte? Is it possible to delete the first message from your correspondence with a particular interlocutor? This problem can be solved very simply. The first thing you need to do is log into the site and log in. Now you need to go to the “Dialogues” item and select the correspondence that you want to clear. Now you need to find the message you want to get rid of. How can I delete a message?
Simply click on the message you have chosen. Now pay attention to the panel located above the dialog box. You should select “Delete”. Click on it. Ready! The message will disappear from your correspondence history, but the interlocutor will still display it until he wants to get rid of old messages on VKontakte.
Is it possible to delete several sent messages at once? Let's check it now.
Total cleaning
Let's start cleaning up the dialogues that have accumulated during your use of the VKontakte social network. Many users forget to organize their conversations. This may affect page loading time and may also cause performance issues. If you want to delete several messages from a conversation at once, you can do this without any problems.
First of all, go to the “Dialogues” item. Next, think about what conversation you want to remove from the correspondence. There may be several options here. Let's take a closer look at the first of them.
The first method by which you can get rid of old correspondence is to delete each dialogue. Just click on it. To delete sent messages, you need to select the “actions” item on the panel located above the dialog and click on the “Clear history” button. Now all the messages you selected will disappear from your account.
There is another interesting method for deleting correspondence on Vkontakte. To delete a message, you need to go to the “Dialogs” tab and hover over the upper right corner of the conversation. There you will see a cross. When you click it, a warning message will appear indicating that the conversation with the user has been deleted. Once you confirm the action, the conversation will disappear completely. That's all.
How to unsend a message
Recently, another “trick” has become popular on the social network “Vkontakte” - canceling a sent message. Many users are interested in the question: is there a way to cancel sending a message on Vkontakte? Today on the Internet you can often find offers to use the service to cancel a message.
To perform such actions, you must pay a certain fee, indicate your login and password on the social network and wait for the result. Such applications are an ordinary scam for money. This is how the accounts of honest users are blocked. Please note: you cannot cancel sending messages on the VKontakte social network. Be careful!
Many users of the social network “in contact” have encountered such a problem when a message was sent that you changed your mind about sending. Perhaps you mistakenly forwarded the message to the wrong user for whom it was intended, or maybe you wrote not very pleasant words in anger, and now, having thought it over, you don’t want to remember that you used such foul language. There may be many options, but the point comes down to one thing: you need to delete the sent message. To do this, follow the instructions below.
Advice
If you decide to delete messages, be sure to make sure that none of them are important. It is better to mark messages with a tick of 10-20 pieces, no more. If you deleted a message by mistake, you have the opportunity to restore it. Instructions for recovering the message will appear on the right.

On the right will be written “delete”, with the help of which all messages you do not need will be erased.
Is it possible to cancel sending a message “In Contact”?
This social network does not imply absolute cancellation of sending a message. However, be careful, there are a large number of scammers who offer their services to cancel messages. To do this, they ask you to provide your login and password, and for a small amount they promise to cancel the message you sent. However, you should remember that this cannot be done by any means, and you will lose not only money, but also, possibly, your profile, access to which scammers will block you by changing the data necessary to access the page.
Conclusion:

Situations often arise when it is necessary to delete a message in Odnoklassniki in order not to get confused in chats or to hide a certain dialogue from prying eyes. Today we will learn how to do this.

When sending, you made the wrong addressee or even wrote the text “hotly” - no problem, just change your message, and your interlocutor will see the final version. If you don’t know how to fix it, replace the text with a random set of characters and say you just made a mistake.
When using this method, the recipient will receive a notification that the message has been changed, but will not indicate which one.

Many of us have an account on the popular Russian social network VKontakte. Thanks to its capabilities, we can listen to our favorite music, watch our favorite videos, and chat with friends. Communication on VK is not always balanced and rational; sometimes we can send a message to our interlocutor that we will regret after a couple of seconds. What to do in such a situation? The VK social network gives us convenient tools that allow us to completely delete messages we have recently sent. Below I will discuss the possibility of deleting messages on VKontakte so that it is deleted from the interlocutor, and what we need for this.
Why you may need to clear sent messages
This need may arise in a situation when we do not want the recipient of our message to read the message sent to him. This can happen for the following reasons:
- We sent the message under the influence of emotions (affect);
- Wrote a thoughtless message;
- We sent words that somehow insulted or humiliated a person, which we soon regretted;
- Some kind of viral malware sends messages on our behalf.
If previously VK functionality only allowed you to delete a sent message from yourself. Since mid-2017, VKontakte users have been able to delete this message for both parties, as well as edit the sent message. This made it possible to significantly limit the receipt by the addressee of messages unwanted by the sender.
Let's look at the currently existing methods that allow you to delete a message in VK completely from both the sender and the recipient.
Method number 1. Delete the message in the standard way
The simplest and most convenient way to delete messages for both the sender and the recipient is offered by the VKontakte functionality itself. Its capabilities allow you to delete an unwanted message from your interlocutor on VK, provided that you sent it within the last 24 hours. If you sent it more than 24 hours later (a day), then you will no longer be able to delete it for everyone.
- To delete, go to the personal correspondence window with your interlocutor.
- Click on the unwanted message, a check mark will appear to the left of it.
- Then click on the trash can button above.
In the deletion request that appears, check the “Delete for everyone” checkbox, and then click on the “Delete” button.
Select "Delete for everyone"
The unwanted message will disappear from the correspondence window, and if the recipient did not have time to read it, he will no longer read it.
Method number 2. Edit unwanted message
The second method allows us to correct the message sent to the interlocutor in VK by editing it. If using the first method we completely get rid of the problematic message, in the case of the second method we simply edit it as we need. In this case, the “24 hours” rule, which I already mentioned above, also applies - if a day has passed since the problematic message was sent, then you will not be able to edit it.
- Go to the window of personal correspondence with the interlocutor in VK (the “Messages” tab on the main page).
- Select the spam message you sent, and then click on the pencil display to the right of it (it will appear when you hover over the message).
- All you have to do is edit your message as necessary, and then save the modified version by pressing “Enter”.
Select "Edit"
Method No. 3. Remove unwanted images, videos and music
If you sent unwanted photos, videos or music to the recipient, you can delete them even after 24 hours, provided that the photo, video or music was taken from your page. In such a situation, you will need to go to the appropriate tab on your page (Photos, Videos, Music) and delete the source, a copy of which you sent to another user through the message window.
- For example, if you sent another user any of your unwanted photos, then go to the “Photos” tab of your page.
- Find the image you sent earlier in the list, select it, and in its settings, click on “Delete”.
- Reload your page.
The disadvantage of this method is the complete removal of such photos, videos or music from your page. However, they can then be downloaded back, the identifier of this file will be different, and the recipient of the problematic message will no longer have access to it.
Method number 4. Be a spammer
Another way to completely delete a message on VK so that it is also deleted from the interlocutor is to send the interlocutor numerous links of dubious content (spam). The automated spam detection system in VK can identify your dialogue as spam and delete it completely. There is no complete guarantee that this will happen, and there may be undesirable consequences for you as a spam sender (your page may be blocked). Therefore, this method should be used only in extreme cases, fully aware of the dubious result.
You can also take an alternative route by marking all messages in your dialogue, and then clicking on the button with a crossed out circle (“This is spam”). Again, no one guarantees you a result in this case, especially in a situation where the person has been your VK friend for several years.
Method No. 5. How to delete messages in VK on mobile devices
Unfortunately, this feature is not available at the moment. All you have to do is switch to the standard (PC) mode of displaying the site, and from there delete the unwanted message.
Conclusion
The easiest way to delete a message in VK so that it is deleted from the interlocutor is to use the tool built into the VK functionality for deleting unwanted messages. However, remember that the capabilities of this tool are limited to 24 hours from the time the message was sent, so you should hurry up and delete the sent message on VK.
Delete message You probably already know how, but we’ll tell you in this article how to delete a message in a contact from another person, namely your interlocutor.
If you still don’t know how to delete messages so that the other person has them and they disappear from you (you never know who else has access to your account. Wife, parents, etc.), then do it very simple.
If you are on a computer, simply click on the message you want to delete and click “delete” at the top. So that the message disappears forever and no one can recover it, refresh the page. Still, a small loophole exists, and if you still want to, then read the article on our website.
Okay, we figured out how to delete messages on our own. And now let's figure it out Is it possible to delete a VK message so that it would be removed from the interlocutor? The answer is yes. Now we will understand this.
It's stupid, but the easiest way is to ask the other person to delete these messages himself. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Most often, the need for the interlocutor to delete a message appears when the message went to the wrong person in the contact and, in order to avoid shame and an awkward situation, the message must be immediately deleted before it is read.
The second way is to log into the account of your interlocutor and personally delete all unwanted messages. In order for a person not to understand that he has been hacked, or more precisely, that it was you who have been hacked, be sure to log in through an anonymizer. It’s better even through a proxy of another country.
It would be foolish to suspect you when you are thousands of kilometers from the place from where you came to the page.
But this method is also most likely out of the question, since it is very rare for people to have access to the account of their interlocutor.
The next two methods involve spam.
Mark another user's messages as spam and the entire conversation may be cleared. We say “possibly” because such a bug only works half the time. Whether it is spam or not is determined by a machine, namely a complex algorithm of the VK social network, which includes many parameters. Including, the spam rating system is minimally likely to consider it spam when you have tens of thousands of messages with this user.
It is foolish to assume that you have been corresponding with a person for several months and suddenly decided that he is a bot. Only if it was hacked.
But then it checks from which ip the messages are sent. If the ip is the real owner, then the messages are unlikely to be considered spam.
Let's move on to the next method. It lies in the fact that now you have to be a spammer. By the way, perhaps the situation is such that you can even pretend that you have been hacked. So, in order for your messages to be automatically deleted, you need to immediately after sending the message that you would like to delete, write a lot of messages that look like spam.
Namely: dozens of links to porn sites or any other sites that the spam filter does not like, and these links in VK are regarded as “links to a suspicious site.” Write random sets of characters and other things. This method also doesn’t always work, but it’s still better than nothing. By the way, it works more often than the previous method.
In approximately 80% of cases, messages are automatically deleted from the interlocutor’s correspondence.
I hope that you found a method that suited you and were able to delete sent messages from the interlocutor and you won’t have to resort to various programs and services that still don’t help in this matter and simply steal your passwords.
