How to delete a community in VKontakte

Deleting a community in VKontakte is a process that requires several steps, as VKontakte does not provide an easy way to “delete” a community all at once. To completely delete, you need to follow the following steps:

1. Go to the community settings Open the group or public page. Go to the “Settings” section.
2. Unmask all administrators Make sure you remain the only administrator of the group. Demote all other administrators.
3. Delete content Delete all media files (videos, audios, photos, and albums). Remove the logo (if there is one). Delete all active activities, meetings and events.
4. Delete members Delete all members and subscribers of the group.
5. Close the group Make the group private to stop attracting new members.
6. Disable advertising features If advertising features have been activated in the group, disable them.
7. Log out of the group Log out of the community so that you no longer have access to it. If you want to close access permanently, make sure you no longer visit the community.
8. Automatic deletion Once the group becomes empty and inactive, it will be automatically deleted by the VKontakte system after some time. The exact timing depends on the activity and popularity of the community.

Alternatives to deletion:

If you don't want to delete the community completely, you can simply clean it up by changing its name, logo and specialization. To restore activity, you can also gain subscribers and views through specialized services such as SMMFast.
