Delete all dialogs at once
You ask how to delete all VKontakte messages at once? Fast, easy, and most importantly free. At least, this was the case until March 2014, after which the system was slightly more complicated. It has become impossible to delete correspondence with all users with one click. Why the admins needed this is unclear, perhaps they want to organize surveillance?
New interface - new rules
You can find many instructions on the Internet on how to delete all messages on VK at once, but 90% of this information concerns the old interface. Let's try to figure out how to do this after updating the design.

It is possible that the interface will change again while you read this article, but we think you will understand all the intricacies on your own.
Hello everyone, friends!
Social network is a very convenient means of communication. But sometimes, when we correspond, we send the wrong thing or to the wrong place. Don't panic - the solution is simple. Let's look at how to delete a message on VK so that it disappears not only from you, but also from your interlocutor.
From computer
So far, VKontakte does not allow you to delete sent information from you and your interlocutor whenever you want. At any time, you can eliminate correspondence only in your dialog interface. After such manipulations, your interlocutor retains the data.
But if 24 hours have not passed since the moment of sending, the situation can be corrected. Moreover, if the user does not have time to read the message within 24 hours, he will never read it - it will completely disappear. At least on social networks.
Step 1. Go to the desired dialog and click on the sent message that you want to delete. Regardless of when the correspondence took place, a panel with a basket will appear at the top.
Step 2. Click on the cart. If 24 hours have already passed, the data will immediately disappear and you will be able to restore it. But in this case, you only play with one goal - the other user will have the data.
If the day has not yet expired, the dialog box will be slightly different. VK will ask you to choose whether to delete it for everyone or only on its side. Check the box so that the message disappears from the user on the other side. After this, recovery will remain possible for some time - until you close or refresh the page.
A day doesn’t seem like much. But it was impossible to do this before. And the simplicity of the scheme allows you to quickly send a thoughtless message to the trash, even if the user is online.
From phone
If you use the VKontakte application, then you will not be able to get rid of the letter from yourself and your interlocutor - the social network does not yet provide such functionality. You will be able to remove information only on your page. Perhaps the functionality will be expanded later.
The solution is simple - use a mobile browser. The actions are similar - select a block, check the box next to “Delete for everyone” and confirm your intention. Small difference between desktop and mobile versions– only in the interface. To get to the liquidator button on your smartphone, you need to click on the ellipsis.
Delete the dialogue
You can remove the entire dialogue with one click. To do this, on the block with the interlocutor in the “Messages” tab, you need to click on the cross. In this case, only your correspondence will disappear; the other user will still have it.
How to delete all correspondence
If you need to clear the entire history (for example, if you want to delete fake messages), then either manually delete all the dialogues, as in the screenshot above, or use a special bot for VK, which will do everything automatically. For example, Sobot.
Download and install the program on your PC, add an account.
Enter your VKontakte profile information. If you are not using a proxy, drag the slider to the “On” position.
The “Clear dialogs” functionality we need is hidden in the “Functions” tab. Move the slider to the “On” position and click “Continue”.
The bot will clear all dialogs. In this case, the information will remain with the interlocutors.
Questions on the topic
Despite the simplicity of the scheme, in some situations you may have some difficulties and questions. We answer them in advance.
- What if you deleted a message without checking the “For everyone” checkbox?
In this case, you need to find, select deleted messages and click on the “Recover” button. After this, the data will appear again - now you can repeat the procedure, but according to all the rules.
This method works if you immediately came to your senses and did not close the page. As soon as the page is refreshed, the ability to restore anything will disappear.
- What should you do if you click on the trash can, but there is no “Delete for everyone” option?
If this item is not present, it means the message is old - sent more than 24 hours ago. To clear the email field for yourself and another user, you can try the spam scheme. There is no other way yet.
- Will the recipient know that the email has been deleted?
In the recipient’s dialogue itself, after your manipulations, there will not be even a hint of the previous data. If the user has not read the letter, then there is a chance that he will not know about it. But perhaps the person has incoming notifications set up - either email, or by SMS. Therefore, you shouldn’t hope to completely cover your tracks.
- Will correspondence disappear after the VK account is liquidated?
No, it doesn't work. Even after deleting your account, all your messages will remain visible to another user. Only in front of your avatar there will be a dog, and the recipient will no longer have the opportunity to correspond with you.
- Is it possible to destroy correspondence if you are on the interlocutor’s blacklist?
No, in this case you will be able to remove the message only on your side.
- What if your message was forwarded to someone else?
Correspondence between you and your interlocutor will be lost. The third recipient will keep the letter. For it to disappear, it requires the efforts of the user with whom you personally corresponded.
- Is it possible to delete an unsent message?
Sometimes, due to technical glitches, the message does not reach the recipient. If this happens to you, you will know about it by the red and white circle exclamation point opposite the letter.
To ensure that the information subsequently does not end up in the hands of another person, click on the round icon and do what is true for a normal situation.
- Are there special applications or services for removing “stale” messages?
No, there are no working tools - neither from VKontakte nor from third-party developers. If you are offered to use the help of any program, be on your guard - it may be a scam. At this point, it is impossible to completely remove messages that are more than a day old.
Conclusion
It’s easy to remove information from correspondence from both you and the recipient. But you need to hurry - 24 hours after sending, the possibility of cleaning disappears. If you don’t have time, the user will be able to read correspondence at any time. All other methods either do not guarantee results or do not work.
