How to delete or deactivate an Instagram account?

Deleting or deactivating your Instagram account means you do not want to use the account again because all information about you, including photos, videos, and posts, will be deleted permanently.

One good thing about deleting or deactivating your Instagram account is that the deleted account no longer exists and will never be found when searched for.

However, the username you used to create the deleted or deactivated account can be used to create a fresh account if it has not been taken already. But if your account was delayed or taken down by Instagram for violating their policies, you will not be able to create a new account with that username.

Before you delete or deactivate your account, it is safe and advisable to download your personal information, which includes photos, videos, and posts, for future use, as after deleting your account, you will not be able to receive them. You can also choose not to download your personal information if you don’t need it.

Note: Your account will be fully deleted or deactivated 30 days after your deletion request. Within those 30 days, your account will be visible to other users.

Note: It will take 90 days for your Instagram to be fully deleted. It will then not be visible to other users. However, Instagram reserves the right to save some critical information about your account for future reference. The information may have to do with legal issues, harm prevention issues, and term violations.

Follow these simple steps to delete and deactivate your Instagram account on the web or mobile.
