- Log in to your account: Enter your username and password to log in to the Instagram account you want to delete.
- Go to the "Delete Your Account" page: Once logged in, navigate to the "Delete Your Account" page by clicking on the following direct link: https://www.instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/.
- Specify the reason for deleting your account: On the "Delete Your Account" page, you will be asked to select a reason for deleting your account from the provided options. Choose the reason that best represents your decision.
- Re-enter your password: To confirm the deletion request, you need to enter your Instagram account password again.
- Delete your account: Click on the "Permanently delete my account" button. Once you click this button, your Instagram account, along with all its content, will be permanently deleted. This action is irreversible, and you won't be able to recover your account or its data.
It's important to note that there is no way to temporarily disable or reactivate your Instagram account. If you change your mind after deleting your account, you'll need to create a new account from scratch.
Before deleting your account, you may want to download a copy of your Instagram data, including photos, videos, and other content, using the "Download Data" feature available in your Instagram account settings. This allows you to keep a copy of your data before permanently deleting your account.
Please be cautious when deleting your Instagram account, as it will remove your profile, posts, followers, and all associated data permanently.
