There is no magic button that will easily and simply restore a deleted photo or VKontakte ava. More precisely, when you delete a photo, a “Recover” link appears in case the photo was deleted by mistake. But if you have already left there, read this instruction to the end.
Deleted photos disappear from your page, but remain on VKontakte servers. This does not mean that it will be easier to recover a deleted photo (or avatar), and especially does not mean that anyone can look at your deleted photos. The fact is that it is easier for VKontakte owners not to delete photos completely, but only to remove them from the pages so that no one can find them.
Recovery methods
Despite the fact that the deleted photo is still somewhere out there, on one of the VKontakte servers, it is almost impossible to find it. To open this file, you need to know the exact link to it (many, many letters, numbers and at the end “.jpg”). Even if we knew part of this link, selecting the remaining options would take a very long time (longer than you might imagine).
Therefore, you need to try to take advantage of other, more realistic chances. The main thing is not to waste time.
If I deleted a photo from the wall, how can I restore it?
This is the easiest way. When you delete a post from the wall, the photos attached to it remain in a special album - “Photos on the Wall”. Go to your photos, look at the list of all albums, and you will find it.
Backlink control services for all sites
The web resources linkpad.ru (formerly Solomono.ru), megaindex.ru, RDS, alexa.com, pr-cy.ru, dinews.ru and many others are considered authoritative and popular among optimizers. Both Russian-speaking and foreign.
The principle of searching for links to them is approximately the same. The analyzer window displays the address of a site or several sites at once. From a variety of results, the one that shows the presence of backlinks is selected. Not all analyzers have the ability to see everything in detail, so you will have to audit the resources that are worth using.
As a rule, analysis services, where you can see backlinks to any resource, are based on link exchanges. Therefore, they are partially free, that is, they make it possible to analyze a certain number of sites according to a limited number of indicators. But there are also completely free ones, but no less detailed and convenient.
In addition, no analyzer gives an absolutely accurate number of backlinks to a site. Therefore, it is important to go through them, analyze and select those resources whose results seem most complete.
Despite the fact that Yandex announced a change in the principles for nominating sites in the TOP, and from now on, the most important factor is the behavior of visitors on the site, practice shows that a high citation index practically guarantees the first lines in the search results.
Every user knows how to delete VKontakte photos. But how to recover deleted photos in contact if you accidentally erased the wrong photos? Is there some kind of magic button or universal instruction that can help you correct an annoying mistake?
Is there a photo left somewhere?
If it was a truly valuable photo or profile picture, then most likely it is somewhere else. For example, on your computer in a folder with photos, on your phone, somewhere on a disk or on a flash drive. Perhaps your boyfriend or girlfriend. If someone else made you an avatar, then that person probably still has it. One of your VKontakte friends can help you restore a deleted ava, if he liked it and saved it somewhere at home. Don't be shy to ask people!
Photo recovery
You can return a deleted photo in one click, but only before refreshing the page. In other words, this is possible if the photo has just been erased. Instructions on how to delete and restore an image:
- Open the photo in full screen.
- Below the photo, click “Delete”. No confirmation required.
- You can continue to scroll through the list of photos or view the album, the main thing is not to reload the page or go to other sections of the site. If the condition is met, you can open the deleted photo and click the “Recover” button above it.
This method is included in the standard functionality of the social network and is the only one that guarantees full functionality and reliability. Is it possible to return pictures after updating the page or old photos deleted several months ago? In some cases this is possible and below we will figure out how.
Attention! When deleting an entire album, the system requests confirmation of the action. If the answer is yes, the images are permanently deleted from the VKontakte servers. Restoration as in the case of one photo will not be possible.
A copy of the page in the Google search engine
If your page was open to everyone (or the album with the photo you were looking for was not closed), then the deleted photo could be saved in Google. From time to time, Google makes copies of all pages on the Internet and stores them for a while. This is called "in cache". There is a chance of recovery if not much time has passed since the deletion (no more than a week). But even if the photo remains there, most often it is possible to restore only the miniature (photo in a small size).
Check if your page is still in the Google cache - enter the address of your VKontakte page in the search bar (below) - for example, https://vk.com/id126494354 . The easiest way is to open your VKontakte page and copy the address here from the address bar of your browser.
Finding a saved copy of the VK page
Then click “Find”, a new page with search results will open. If you find something, open your saved page:
- Click on the small green triangle next to the page address.
- Select "Saved Copy".
- Click on it.
An example of what it looks like:
Now the saved copy of your page will open. If there is a photo there that you want to restore, open it and save it somewhere to yourself (usually you need to right-click on the photo and select “Save image as.”).
If there is no green triangle at all, then there is no copy of the page in Google, and this method will not work.
Looking at the saved copy of the page
There is no guarantee that the desired photo is in the browser cache. It is worth looking at the saved copy of the page in search engines. This is done as follows (see).
First, copy the id of your page (see).
Now open Yandex or Google and write the following search query.
User_id site:vk.com
Where instead of “user_id”, insert your id. Perform a search. Your page should appear in the list of results.
Next to the URL address, open the menu and click (see).
You will see a saved copy of your page. Try looking at the photo you want here.
If it is not there, then it is unlikely that you will be able to find it. You can try it.
Browsing history or browser cache is a chance!
If you recently looked at this photo in full size, then it could remain in your browsing history or in the cache (temporary files) of your browser - the program with which you view websites. This is one of the real chances. And if you opened the photo using the “Open original” button, then maybe you can even find a link to the VK website where this photo is still stored.
How to find a deleted photo in your browser history
Typically, the browsing history in the browser can be viewed using the Ctrl-H or called up through the menu. It is especially useful to search there if you have recently opened a photo using the “Open original” link.
How to find a deleted photo in temporary files
You will need a program to view the cache. There are different programs for different browsers, download and run the one that is designed specifically for yours (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer). If you're not very good with computers, it's time to stop touching anything and call a boy who is good at it to continue from there.
A page with programs for viewing the cache of various browsers: Web Browser Tools. Download the program for the browser used on this computer. Run it and look in the cache for image files (.jpg) of a sufficiently large size - among them may be the same deleted photo.
“Pulling” deleted VK photos from the browser cache
If none of the above options gave positive results, it’s okay, don’t be upset. After all, there is another way that allows you to view deleted photos on VKontakte. Moreover, you can even save them to your computer.
Any photo you previously opened is stored in browser files. It follows from this that if you previously opened and viewed some photos in your browser, you can not only find them to look at, but also download them to your computer.
- Download and unzip the “Web Browser Tools” software package.
- Open the unzipped folder and find the .exe file of your browser cache in it (Google Chrome is used as an example).
- In just a moment, a program will open with a general list of all temporary files stored on your PC. Their number is indicated in the lower left corner.
- To quickly find the necessary data (in our case, this is a photo), it is recommended to pay attention to the file icon, as well as the date and time. This is perhaps the fastest way to find the photo you need.
Just remember the date and at least the approximate time when you opened this or that photo and start checking.
- Unfortunately, there is no preview in this program. This means that you will have to check all the photos manually. Double click on the image title or URL.
- After this, a small window will open with various information. We are directly interested in the address of the image; copy the address and paste it into the browser.
That's basically it. After you paste the copied link into the address bar, a photo will appear that you can save.
To do this, call the context menu by right-clicking on the picture, and then: “Save picture as.” A program for downloading videos from YouTube is available at the link on our blog.
The social networking service allows users to post photos and other materials on their page, which is often used for storage, quick transfer, and other things. However, sometimes it happens that a user accidentally deletes a very important image without having any copy of it. That is, she disappears forever.
Before taking any action, you need to check if the image is saved in some other place - on the camera’s memory card, in your phone’s downloads, on your computer. This way you can save time and nerves.
How to recover photos through support?
The last chance is to write to VKontakte technical support and ask to recover deleted photos. Do it as quickly as possible, you literally have only a few days! Give them the following information:
- I accidentally deleted a photo, please restore it.
- How many photos did you delete?
- When exactly did I delete them and how exactly?
In order not to search, you can create a new support request about deleted photos using this link: Create a new support request (it may not open in the mobile application, you need to use a browser; it is better to do this from a computer, not from a phone).
Recovering deleted data is not guaranteed in any case. We don't know whether they will help you. Good luck!
Recovery via technical support
If the above method does not help, the user can contact the site's technical support. To do this, you need to follow this link, after which you should describe your problem in detail, describing which materials were deleted and when. Also here you need to indicate a link to the page from which the materials were removed (this can be a user profile or a community page). This request should be sent to the user who downloaded and deleted the materials.
Important!
Technical support specialists cannot always help with these problems. It is also worth considering that they only have a few hours before the files are completely deleted from the site’s servers.
Recovery in VK
Is it possible to recover deleted photos in VK? There are options and you will learn about them below. However, it is logical to assume that since you uploaded the image to your page, it means it remains on your device. Look in the memory of your computer, phone, disks and flash drives - it is likely that you will find the deleted photo there. If the photo was only in VK, then you can try to restore it using our instructions.
Immediately after removal
Restoring a photo to VK immediately after deletion is very simple. You can see this for yourself by following a few simple steps:
- Go to your page.
- Click on any photo to expand it.
- At the bottom, click "Delete".
- A notification will appear at the top stating that the image has been deleted, and on the right is the “Restore” button.
- By clicking on it, you will return everything to its place.
In this case, it is very important not to close the window with the picture and not refresh the page. Otherwise this function will become unavailable.
If you have deleted a photo from your wall, then do not rush to get upset. You can find it in the photo album called “Photos on my wall.” Every time you post an image to your wall, a backup copy of it is sent to this folder.
Copy of VK page
The Google system works in such a way that it periodically makes copies of all pages and stores them for some time. You can try to find a copy of your VK page and thus recover deleted photos.
This method will only help if your page was cached in Google and your account was not private. This method is also useless if the album in which the deleted photo was located was closed by privacy settings.
So, let's find out how to view deleted photos on VK using a saved copy of your page:
- Log in to your account.
- Copy the address of your page from the address bar (for example, https://vk.com/id123456789).
- Now go to a new GoogleChrome tab.
- Paste the copied characters into the address bar. But don't rush to press Enter.
- Several action options will appear below the browser line. Click on the line with the magnifying glass symbol - “Google search”.
- Search results will appear.
- In the results, under your name there will be a green line with your id and a triangle.
- Click on this triangle and select the "Saved Copy" option.
- You will find yourself on your page and can find the deleted photo here.
If you could not find your page in the search results, it means it is not cached and this option is not suitable for you.
View Browser Cache
If Google has not saved a copy of your VKontakte page, then try to find deleted photos in the cache of the browser you used to log into your VK account. Any photo you open is saved in temporary files of the web browser, so if you looked at the photos in VKontakte, you can restore them through a program for viewing the browser cache.
To restore a photo deleted from a page in Contact, right-click on it. You can open the photo in the browser by selecting “Open Link”, or save the image directly to your computer by clicking “Cope Selected” and specifying a folder.
Deleting photos from VKontakte is not difficult - all it takes is a few clicks of the mouse. Is it possible to restore these images and if so, how to do it?
The easiest way to restore a photo is if you did not have time to refresh the page. See: after you click on the “Delete” button, the system tells you that the image has been deleted. But! You can still restore it if you click on the button of the same name:
It is extremely important that you do not close the tab and do not refresh the page. Then the recovery will be successful.
If you do refresh the page, you can “dig” into the saved cache, if, of course, the browser supports cache storage. How to do it? For example, in Google Chrome, you can enter the command chrome://cache/ into the browser line and press Enter - you will see a huge list of documents in front of you. Look among them for those that look something like this: vk.me/c5456454/v6542576244/114552222/VhrpdlsSjfdggE.jpg. These are pictures that were saved in the cache when you visited the VKontakte website. These may include your photographs.
If the browser cache method does not work, you will need to try using a cached version of the page in the browser. This method only works if your page is cached in the browser and if you have photos open.
To do this, go to Google and write the address of your page in the search bar - vk.com/your id. For example, vk.com/id1. Next, click on the arrow, as shown in the screenshot, and select “Saved copy”.
On the cached page you will see saved photos that you deleted.
Well, in order to avoid getting into similar situations in the future, always store photos on your computer or at least in your phone’s memory.

Searching in the browser
The browser can also store your deleted photos in its memory for some time. It will be easy to find an image that you recently opened in full screen or in a separate tab.
Browser history
So, let's find out how to return deleted photos to VK using browser history.
- Open a tab in your browser.
- Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H. You can also call up the story through the page menu.
- You will see a list of all your recent actions. Carefully review the links that appear. We need those that have the VK logo at the beginning and the extension .jpg or .png (these are graphic file extensions). It is possible that you will find the deleted image here, after which you will be able to restore it.
- To save it on your computer, right-click on it and select “Save As”.
Checking cache and temporary files
All media files that you view on your device are stored for some time in the browsers memory (cache). They are stored there for a relatively short time, so you will not be able to find and restore very old deleted photos in VK. However, if only a couple of days have passed, then you can try.
You can see temporary files using special programs. Each browser has its own options.
GoogleChrome
For this browser, the most popular utility is ChromeCacheView. This program will show you all the files in memory. You will see not only the name and extension of the deleted file, but also the size, last opened date, server name and other information.
You can view relatively old photos from VKontakte that you previously deleted as follows:
- Download the utility. https://www.softportal.com/software-15571-chromecacheview.html
- Unpack the archive and start the installation process.
- Open the program and view the GoogleChrom cache at any time.
- To search for photos from VK, we proceed as before - we look for files with the extension .jpg or .png and the address vk.com.
Internet Explorer
If you use this browser, then the IECacheView program will come to your aid:
- Download the utility. https://www.softportal.com/software-15488-iecacheview.html
- Unpack and install.
- Launch the program and view all previously deleted files and information about them in a convenient tablet format.
- Using the extension and URL, you can easily identify and restore your old photos in VK. To do this, you can save them directly from the utility into a separate folder.
Opera
The utility for Opera is called OperaCacheView, it is as easy to use as the previous programs:
- Download the program. https://www.softportal.com/software-15547-operacacheview.html
- Unpack it into a convenient folder. Run the installation and accept all settings.
- Run the utility, find and restore the necessary files.
Mozilla Firefox
The MozillaCookiesView program has been developed for this browser. It works the same as the previous ones. Easy to use and gives a complete picture of the stored files:
- Download the archive with the utility. https://freesoft.ru/windows/mozillacookiesview/download
- Unpack - install - open.
- The entire list of files stored in the cache is at your disposal.
All of the programs listed are absolutely free and do not take up much space. They can be useful not only to restore photos in VK that you deleted, so their presence on your PC is well worth it.
Returning deleted photos on VKontakte page
Many VKontakte users store photos only in profile albums, without having backup copies of the files on their computer, so deleting pictures often leads to the complete loss of valuable frames. But even if you deleted a photo on VKontakte, you can try to restore it.
Fast recovery
Immediately after deleting a photo, a “Restore” button appears above it, clicking on which returns the photo back to the page in Contact.
However, if you refresh the page or open the next photo, the “Restore” button will disappear. Along with it, the opportunity to return the photo back to the VK album will disappear. If you delete the entire album at once, no restore button will appear, so be careful and do not take rash actions.
Saved copy to Google
If you did not prohibit the indexing of the page by search engines in your VKontakte profile settings, then you can try to find the deleted photo using the copy that Google automatically creates.
A copy of the Contact page that Google created automatically will appear in a separate tab. Unfortunately, you cannot select the backup date. But if a copy was made when the album was still on the VK page, then you can go into it and save the necessary pictures to your computer.
View Browser Cache
If Google has not saved a copy of your VKontakte page, then try to find deleted photos in the cache of the browser you used to log into your VK account. Any photo you open is saved in temporary files of the web browser, so if you looked at the photos in VKontakte, you can restore them through a program for viewing the browser cache.
To restore a photo deleted from a page in Contact, right-click on it. You can open the photo in the browser by selecting “Open Link”, or save the image directly to your computer by clicking “Cope Selected” and specifying a folder.
It’s also not possible to find and restore a VK album this way: you can only find individual photos. Therefore, when deleting an album on VKontakte, think carefully about whether you will later regret this decision. It is advisable to save the necessary photographs and pictures separately, so that after deletion you can quickly return them to the VKontakte page if necessary.
Instructions
If you mistakenly deleted an album from your VKontakte account and immediately noticed, this can be easily fixed. When deleting a photo or an entire album, the line “Photos deleted. Restore".
Left-click on the “Recover” option once, and the deleted photos from the album will again appear in their place and become available for viewing. All comments and other marks will also remain. But if you immediately leave the “Edit Album” page after deleting, then it will no longer be possible to recover the deleted photos.
If suddenly there are some photos in the album and only empty images remain, it becomes impossible to view them, comment on them or tag people, leave a complaint written in a certain form. Don't forget to provide a link to the missing photos, having first made them private. Leave a request only if the photo does not appear for more than one week.
There is an opinion that all the albums you delete are still saved on the site’s server. Try writing a letter to technical support. They may be able to find, view and return the album to you. VKontakte stores a lot of deleted information, but given the large number of users, it is difficult for administrators to find what they need. If you have written down direct links to photos, this will make the task much easier and they will soon be available to you.
note
If a complaint to the VKontakte administration regarding the disappearance of photographs is not written in the correct form, it will not be considered.
Helpful advice
If instead of a photo the message “server is temporarily unavailable” appears, this means that the site is undergoing technical work and you need to wait a little. Refresh the page in a few minutes and the photos will be there.

Instructions
Don’t rush to sound the alarm when you discover that the “Messages” section is empty. It's possible that your inbox is still there, but there's an error on the site or network. Try reconnecting to the Internet, reloading the page and logging in again with your username and password, then check the message folder again. You may have been unable to find the message because you switched to the conversation system, where messages are grouped according to the users with whom you were chatting. Select a conversation with the person you want and use the search function to try to find the lost message.
Click on the “Restore” link if you have just accidentally deleted correspondence with a user. You can recover deleted VKontakte messages in this way only if you have not yet refreshed the page or left it.
Check your email if you have activated the “Notify by E-mail” function in the settings of the VKontakte social network. In this case, notifications of incoming messages are sent to your email with their text displayed. This way you can easily restore information accidentally deleted from your page.
Activate your browser's offline mode as soon as you notice messages are missing. Next, try scrolling through the pages you recently visited through the browser’s “Visit Log”. If you're lucky, you'll find a page with the messages in the state they were still on.

Hacker method and help from VK
There are a couple more methods to restore photos. Thanks to the first one you can feel like a real hacker. And in the second you will have to resort to outside help.
Script to help us
A script is a special code, using which we will find out whether it is possible to recover your deleted photos on VK. For this:
- Open a new page in your browser.
- Right-click in an empty space.
- Select View Code.
- Next you need to go to the Console tab.
- Now copy the following script document.getElementById("pv_photo").firstChild.src and paste it into the code.
- Press Enter. A link to the recently deleted photo will appear under this code and you will be able to restore the image.
Support
You can contact VK moderators for help. The fact is that VKontakte, like browsers, stores all deleted data. Of course, the more time has passed, the more difficult it is to find the required file in a huge amount of information and the less likely it is that they will agree to help you. But still, it's worth a try:
- To contact technical support, use this link https://vk.com/support?act=new - you must be logged into your account.
- A window will open asking you to describe your problem.
- In the top line, describe it in two words, for example, “accidentally deleted the photo you wanted” or “how to recover a deleted photo.”
- Please describe the problem in more detail in the field below. Indicate the date, approximate time of deletion and anything else you consider necessary.
Don't forget that technical support receives thousands of questions every day and be prepared to wait. They can answer you either within an hour or within a day.
Google Search
If your page has been exposed to search engines, you can try to find a saved copy of it through Google. The fact is that Google periodically creates copies of all pages on the Internet, unless it is directly prohibited from doing so in the settings.
Open Google and enter in the search bar the last name and first name under which your VKontakte page is registered. You can try specifying the profile address (its ID number).
The hardest thing is to find your page among the search results. But if you are lucky and you find it, then click on the green arrow next to the address and select “Saved copy”.
This will open the page that Google automatically saved. You can't select a backup date - you can only hope that you deleted the photos after the backup was created.
If you haven't followed the instructions explaining how to delete history in Chrome or any other browser, you can try to find the deleted photo in your browser's cache.
You can view the cache using special programs.
Each browser has its own utility, which can be found in the Web Browser Tools application package.
You need to search for large images - not an easy task, given the number of different images that are stored in the cache when visiting sites.
What cannot be restored
Unfortunately, in some cases, image recovery is not possible. Read the list below and if you find your case there, then don’t waste your time:
- If your account has been closed, you will not be able to restore your photo using a page backup.
- The situation is the same with closed albums, so, for example, it will not be possible to restore the “Saved Photos” album in VK. After all, this album is hidden by default, unless you change your privacy settings.
- You cannot restore the entire album, only individual photos.
- If you manage to find a deleted photo, then you can forget about the likes you collected under it - they cannot be restored.

View VKontakte albums
To view all albums as standard, you need to log in to the social network using your username and password, go to the page of a specific friend and click on the “Albums” button, which is located above the photos in the menu on the left.

In order to see information hidden from the user, you need to enter the ID of the person you are interested in and click on the “See” button.
