The wall VKontakte is the business card of your profile, but over time it becomes filled with hundreds of unnecessary entries: reposts, outdated ads, random comments from friends, or automatic posts from apps. If you want to put the page in order, but donโt know how to quickly delete all posts from the wall via your phone on Android, this article will help you understand all the nuances.
Unlike the desktop version, the mobile application VK (formerly Kate Mobile) has limited functionality for mass actions. There is no "Delete everything" button, but there are workarounds - from manual removal to using scripts and third-party utilities. We will look 5 proven methodsincluding hidden functions of the application, automation through Android Accessibility and even an option for those who are not afraid to work with API VK.
Important: before you start cleaning, check if there are any important data among the records (for example, saved links or unique photos). Some methods delete entries without the possibility of recoveryeven if you change your mind after a few minutes.
1. Manual deletion of entries through the official VK application
The most reliable, but time-consuming way is to delete entries one by one through the standard interface. This method is suitable if there are less than 50 posts on the wall or you need to get rid of only certain posts.
Instructions:
- ๐ฑ Open the application VK and go to your page (profile icon at the bottom of the screen).
- ๐ Scroll through the wall to the post you want delete, and click on the three dots (
โฎ) in the upper right corner of the post. - ๐๏ธ In the menu that appears, select
Delete entryand confirm the action. - โณ Repeat the steps for each records. To speed up the process, you can use selection mode (press and hold any entry with your finger for 2 seconds).
Please note: in selection mode, you can only delete your own entries, not reposts or comments from friends. To massively remove other people's comments from the wall, you will need a different approach (see section 4).
โ ๏ธ Attention: When manually deleting records with a large number of attachments (photos, videos, surveys), the application may freeze. It is recommended to clear the wall in portions of 10-15 entries, closing and opening the application again.
2. Mass deletion via the web version of VK (mobile browser)
The official application VK for Android does not support mass cleaning, but this function can be activated through the mobile version of the site. The method works even on weak smartphones and does not require installing additional apps.
Step-by-step guide:
- Open the browser (Chrome, Firefox or Samsung Internet) and go to the site
m.vk.com. - Log in and open your page.
- Scroll down the wall and click on the icon
โ๏ธ(settings) next to the field for creating a new entry. - In the menu, select
Manage recordsโSelect all(or select the ones you need manually). - Click
Deleteand confirm the action.
The advantage of this method: you can delete up to 50 entries at a time (VK limitation). Disadvantage - the interface of the mobile version of the site is less convenient than in the application, and can slow down with a large number of publications.
Make a backup copy of important entries (screenshots or saving to "Favorites")

3. Automation through scripts (for advanced users)
If there are thousands of posts on the wall, manual deletion will take hours. In this case, it will help automation using browser scripts or specialized utilities. The method requires minimal technical skills, but allows you to clean the wall in a few minutes.
The easiest way is to use Tampermonkey (browser extension) with a script VK Wall Cleaner. Instructions:
- ๐ Install the browser Kiwi Browser (supports extensions) or Firefox for Android.
- ๐ง Install the extension Tampermonkey from the extension store.
- ๐ Add script VK Wall Cleaner (open the link in your browser with Tampermonkey).
- ๐ฏ Open the mobile version of VK (
m.vk.com), log in and run the script through the icon Tampermonkey.
The script will prompt you to select a date range or types of posts to delete (for example, only reposts or posts with certain words). The process will take from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the number of publications.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Using scripts may lead to temporary blocking of an account suspicious activity. It is recommended to clear no more than 200 records in one session and take breaks between deletions.
What to do if VK blocked an account after a mass deletion?
If after using the script you see a notification โYour account is temporarily blocked,โ do not panic. Usually the blocking is removed automatically after 1-3 hours. To speed up the process:
1. Close all VK sessions (click "Log out" on all devices).
2. Do not try to log into your account from other IP addresses (for example, through a VPN).
3. Wait for the time specified in the notification and try to log in again.
If the blocking has not been lifted, contact VK support via the feedback form (section "My account is blocked").
4. Deleting other people's comments and reposts from the wall
Default VK does not allow you to mass delete friends' comments or reposts on your wall. However, there are two workarounds: Method 1: Restriction through privacy settings option
Method 1: Restriction through privacy settings
- ๐ Go to
Settings โ Privacy โ Who can comment on my posts?. - ๐ซ Select an option
Only meorFriends(if you want to leave the ability to comment only to your loved ones). - ๐ Save changes. Now new comments will appear only from the selected group of users.
Method 2: Manual deletion via notifications
If you need to delete specific comments:

- Click on the three dots (
โฎ) next to comment. - Select
DeleteorHide(if you want to leave the comment visible only to the author).
| Type posts | Is it possible to delete en masse? | Deletion method |
|---|---|---|
| Own posts | Yes (up to 50 at a time) | Through m.vk.com or scripts |
| Reposts | Yes | Only manually or through scripts |
| Friends' comments | No | Only one at a time through the recording menu |
| Recordings from applications | Yes | Through application settings in VK |
| Tagged photos | No | Deleted only through the album "Photos with me" |
5. Using third-party applications (risks and alternatives)
There are dozens of applications that promise to โclean your VK wall with one click.โ However, most of them either do not work or require you to provide a login/password - which Google Play There are dozens of applications that promise to โclean your VK wall with one click.โ However, most of them either do not work or require you to provide a login/password - which extremely dangerous for the security of your account.
If you still decide to take a risk, choose applications with the following signs of reliability:
- ๐ More 100,000 installations and a rating above 4.0.
- ๐ No requests for password access (only
OAuth-authorization via VK is allowed). - ๐ Regular updates (the latest is no older than 3 months).
- ๐ฌ Active support (respond to reviews in Play Market).
Examples of relatively safe utilities:
- VK Cleaner โ deletes records in packs of 20 pieces, does not require password.
- Wall Cleaner for VK โsupports filters by date and post type.
- VK Tools โadditionally clears conversations and friends.
Before using a third-party application, create backup copy of VK dataTo do this, go to Settings โ General โ Data export and save. archive with recordings, photos and dialogues. The archive will be available for downloading within 7 days.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Even legitimate applications can be blocked VK for "automated activity". If after using the utility you receive a warning about "suspicious actions", immediately change your password and revoke access to the application in your account settings.
6. Cleaning the wall via the VK API (for developers)
For users with programming skills, the most flexible way is to work with API VK. This method allows you to delete records based on specified criteria (date, type, keywords) and even archive them before deleting.
Basic algorithm:
- Get
access_tokenvia creating a standalone application in VK. - Use the method
wall.getto get a list of records:
https://api.vk.com/method/wall.get?owner_id={YOUR_ID}&access_token={TOKEN}&v=5.131
- Process the response and remove unnecessary entries using the method
wall.delete:
https://api.vk.com/method/wall.delete?owner_id={YOUR_ID}&post_id={POST_ID}&access_token={TOKEN}&v=5.131
For automation, you can write a script in Python with the library vk_api:
import vk_apivk_session = vk_api.VkApi(token='YOUR_TOKEN')
vk = vk_session.get_api()
posts = vk.wall.get(owner_id=YOUR_ID)['items']
for post in posts:
vk.wall.delete(post_id=post['id'], owner_id=YOUR_ID)
Advantages of the method: full control over the process, the ability to filter records by any parameters, no restrictions on the number of deletions. Disadvantage - it requires programming knowledge and accuracy when working with access_token.
Using the VK API is the most powerful, but also the most risky method. Never share yours access_token with third parties and keep it in a secure place. If the token is leaked, attackers will have full access to your account.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
When clearing the wall, users often encounter typical problems that can be prevented:
- ๐ซ Deleting important records โbefore mass clearing, save links to valuable posts (for example, with survey results or important advertisements).

- ๐ต Account blocking โ do not delete more than 100 records per hour, take pauses between sessions.
- ๐ Loss of access โdo not use applications that ask for a password instead of
OAuthauthorization.

- Refresh the page (
F5or swipe down in a mobile browser). - Clear the application cache VK in settings Android.
- Temporarily switch to the desktop version of the site (
vk.cominstead ofm.vk.com).
