Deleted VK profile. How to view a deleted VKontakte page - a copy in Yandex and Google. Online service Web archive

Services and tricks with which you can find EVERYTHING.

Why is this needed: Did you briefly read the article in the morning and decided to take a closer look in the evening, but it’s not on the website? A few years ago you visited a useful site, today you remembered it, but there’s nothing left on the same domain? This has happened to each of us. But there is a way out.

Everything that goes on the Internet is stored there forever. If some information is posted on the Internet for at least a couple of days, there is a high probability that it has become the property of the collective mind. And you will be able to reach her.

Let's talk about simple and publicly available ways to find sites and pages that have been deleted for some reason.

1. Google cache that remembers everything

Google specifically stores the text of all web pages so that people can view them if the site is unavailable. To view the version of the page from the Google cache, type in the address bar:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.iphones.ru/

Where http://www.iphones.ru/ must be replaced with the address of the site you are looking for.

2. Web-archive, which contains the entire history of the Internet

6. Archive.is, for your own cache

If you need to save some web page, you can do this on archive.is without registration and SMS. There is also a global search for all versions of pages ever saved by users of the service. There are even several saved copies of iPhones.ru.

7. Caches of other search engines, you never know

If Google, Baidu and Yandex did not manage to save anything sensible, but a copy of the page is really needed, then we go to seacrhenginelist.com, go through the search engines and hope for the best (so that some bot visits the site at the right time).

8. Browser cache when all else fails

You can’t view the entire page this way, but images and scripts from some sites are stored on your computer for a certain time. They can be used to search for information. For example, using a picture from the instructions, you can find a similar one on another site. Briefly about the approach to viewing cache files in different browsers:

Safari

Looking for files in a folder ~/Library/Caches/Safari.

Google Chrome

In the address bar we type chrome://cache

Opera

In the address bar we type opera://cache

Mozilla Firefox

Type in the address bar about:cache and find on it the path to the directory with the cache files.

What to do if nothing helps at all

If none of the methods yielded results, and you desperately need to find the deleted page, then all that remains is to contact the site owner and shake out the treasured information from him. To begin with, you can get through the contacts associated with the site on

Sometimes, by going to (previously existing) page, we get 404 error - page not found. This page has been deleted, the site is not accessible, etc., but how to view a deleted page? I will try to answer this question and offer four ready-made options for solving this problem.

Option 1: Browser Offline Mode

To save traffic and increase page loading speed, browsers use a cache. What is cache? Cache (from English cache) — disk space on a computer allocated for temporary storage of files, which include web pages.

So try viewing the deleted page from your browser cache. To do this, go to offline mode.

Note: Offline browsing is only possible if the user has visited the page before and it has not yet been removed from the cache.

How to enable offline browser mode?

For Google Chrome, Yandex.Browser etc., offline mode is available only as an experiment. Enable it on the page: chrome://flags/ - find “Offline cache mode” there and click the link “ Turn on».

IN Firefox(29 and older) open menu (button with three lines) and click on " Development" (wrench), and then the item " Work autonomously».

IN Opera Click the “Opera” button, find the “ Settings", and then click the item " Work autonomously».

IN Internet Explorer- press the Alt button, (in the menu that appears) select " File" and click the menu item " Offline mode».

How to disable offline mode in Internet Explorer 11?

Let me clarify - in IE 11 The developers have removed the offline mode switch. The question arises - How to disable offline mode in Internet Explorer 11? Doing the opposite will not work, reset your browser settings.

To do this, close running applications, including the browser. Press the key combination Win + R and (in the “Run” window that opens) enter: inetcpl.cpl, press the Enter button. In the "Internet Properties" window that opens, go to the "Internet" tab. Additionally" On the tab that opens, find and click the button “ Restore advanced settings", and then the appeared button " Reset..." In the confirmation window, check the box " Remove personal settings" and press the button " Reset».

Option 2: copies of pages in search engines

Earlier I told you that search engine users don’t need to go to sites - just look at a copy of the page in a search engine, and this is a good way to solve our problem.

IN Google— use the info: operator, specifying the desired URL. Example:

IN Yandex— use the url: operator, specifying the desired URL. Example:

Hover your mouse over the (green) URL in the snippet and click the link that appears " copy».

The problem is that search engines only store the last indexed copy of the page. If a page is deleted, over time it will become unavailable in search engines.

Option 3: WayBack Machine

The WayBack Machine service is an Internet archive that contains the history of the existence of sites.

Enter the desired URL, and the service will try to find a copy of the specified page in its database with a date reference. But the service does not index all pages and sites.

Option 4: Archive.today

A simple and (unfortunately) passive service for creating copies of web pages is Archive.today. You can access a deleted page if it was copied by another user to the service archive. To do this, enter the URL in the first (red) form and click the " submit url».

After that, try to find the page using the second (blue) form.

I recommend! I thought: What should I do if the page is not deleted? It happens that it is simply impossible to access the site. Found an article Victor Tomilin, which is called “I can’t access the site” - where the author not only describes 4 ways to solve the problem, but also recorded a visual video.

A huge number of new pages appear on the Internet every day. But also a considerable number of them disappear for one reason or another, as a result of which we see a 404 error "page not found". However, nothing appears or disappears on the Internet without a trace. Therefore, even if the page has been deleted, you can still manage to view it.

I was prompted to write this post by a question from one of the users of the popular question and answer service mail.ru on the Runet. He was interested in Is it possible to view a deleted page on VKontakte?: friends, photos and other data.

I’ll try to help with a solution that is suitable not only for VK, but also for Facebook, Twitter or any other site.

Viewing a deleted page in a web archive

There is one extremely useful online service - https://archive.org. One might say irreplaceable. It contains a large Internet archive containing web documents, videos, music, books, programs and more. In his cap there is an inscription "Wayback machine", which translates as "Time Machine".

It is with the help of this service that you can view a site page that has been deleted, including the profile of a deleted VK user.

How to use the archive.org service

All you need is copy the address of the remote page in the address bar.

And paste the URL into the form on the site https://archive.org, as shown in the screenshot below.

Press Enter or the Go button. After which the completed page of the site you are interested in will open.

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.

So, VKontakte stores on servers all photos deleted from accounts.

It should be understood that there is no convenient way to view deleted photos; social networking services do not provide this. For example, there is a recycle bin on your computer that contains all your deleted files and can be used to easily recover them, but a similar folder simply does not exist on the Internet.

So, what makes it especially difficult is the fact that there is no specific link left on the photo, otherwise one could simply find the image through a search engine if the photo album and the page itself were not restricted for viewing.

To find a deleted photo, you should copy the account link and paste it into the search. Several links will appear. Under the first of them, you need to click on the small triangle and select the “Saved copy” tab. A saved copy of your account will open, where you can find the deleted image and copy it to your computer using “Save as...”.

It is also possible to recover a deleted photo if it was recently viewed in full size, which means it is temporarily stored in the browser cache. To find it, you need a special program to view the cache in the browser - each of them has a special program. You should use the Web Browser Tools application package, which contains the necessary utilities.

After activating the application, a list of all deleted photos will open, which has the option of recovery. It is logical to look for jpeg or jpg files and pay attention to the file size..

If none of the above is successful, then it makes sense to write to the technical support of the social network and ask for help with recovery. If the question is about a really important photo, then the moderators will probably pay attention to it.

It is important that there is no way to restore an album of images. After confirmation of deletion, the album will disappear without any possibility of recovery.

In conclusion, it is important to say that the easiest way not to lose important photos is not to store them in one place, especially on social networks, where your account may be hacked or an error may simply occur that will delete some information.

Also, first of all, you should think about deleting each of the photos. If a photo was deleted accidentally, you can immediately restore it before the page is refreshed.

There are situations when you have to delete an account that has already gained popularity among subscribers and leave a lot of information there, including photos, music, contacts, etc. At the time of deletion, it seems that the information is still saved somewhere, but when the search begins, it turns out that the desired contact or photo remains on the deleted page. Then the question arises of how to view a deleted VK page, this will be discussed in the article.

7 months after deleting a page, the data is stored only in the site’s archive memory. By going to the page of interest using the old link, you will not be able to see anything other than the inscription “page has been deleted and is unavailable.” Only the history of messages with a deleted profile is saved (if the interlocutor’s account is not deleted). There are 4 ways to view a deleted VKontakte page, which will be discussed further.

Method 1: Yandex Search

The advantage of any search engine is saving a remote copy of a website and page on a social network. Among all the services that will be discussed, Yandex does the best job of displaying a saved page mirror. To view a page through a search engine, you need to perform a few simple mouse manipulations:

Method 2: Google Search

A simple way to view deleted VK pages, just like its predecessor, allows you to view a copy of the page that was saved to the search engine archive. The method consists of the following steps:

• opening the main page of the search engine;
• a link to a remote account copied from VK is inserted into the address bar and the search button is pressed;
• If you enter all the data correctly, the first result will be the desired page.

Method 3: Web Archive

A method that allows you to find a deleted account (if privacy settings allow searching for a page on the Internet) in a web archive. Viewing the saved copy is carried out in a few simple mouse clicks according to the instructions.

1. Go to the archive website; to do this, enter a query on the search page.
2. Copy the page address from the social network.
3. Paste the link of the desired page into the archive search window.
4. After confirmation, there are two options for displaying information: an error (if the page is hidden by privacy settings), and a schedule for the availability of viewing the saved copy.
5. In the displayed chart, select the year of interest; after confirmation, the page is updated and you can select viewing dates.
6. After selecting a date, the person’s deleted account opens in the form in which it was last saved.

Method 4: Browser Cache

You can find a saved copy of the page (if it was recently deleted) and the browser cache has not been cleared using the search engine through which you entered the page. Depending on the browser used, the paths to access the search engine cache will differ only in the name and use of slashers. Examples of opening the cache of popular browsers:

Having completed the manipulations, we gain access to all saved files and pages in the cache.

How to view friends of a deleted page

You will be able to view the list of friends from a deleted account after performing the manipulations described above. The list will be available if they are not hidden by privacy settings; contacts that are viewable only from a remote account will not be displayed in the friend feed.

How to view photos from a deleted profile

After opening a copy of the page, most of the links, photos and posts remain active (depending on how old the deleted page is). You will be able to view photos only from those albums that are available for public viewing by other users and searchable via the Internet.

Additional information

It is impossible to download files from a remote page without the help of third-party resources and special scripts. When you try to download directly, a message may appear stating that the files have been deleted.
