Steps to delete your Instagram account permanently
If you are sure of your decision and want to delete your Instagram account forever, follow these steps:
By clicking the button below, you will be led to Delete Instagram Account webpage. If you are doing this with a computer, this webpage will open in your computer's browser, and if you are using your phone, this page will open in your phone browser. (If you're not logged into Instagram on the web, you'll be asked to log in first. You can't delete your account from within the Instagram application you have on your phone.)
On the first page, enter your username and password and login.
Then you will be asked why you want to delete your account (Why do you want to delete ……?). Choose one of the answers.
Then, in the re-enter your password section, re-enter your Instagram account password.
Finally, click the Delete your Account button.
Now, your page will be completely deleted and if you try to log in to your account by entering your Instagram username and password , you will see that your Instagram page has been deleted and you will not be able to log in.
Important Notes on Delete Instagram Account
Note 1:
The process of deleting an Instagram account is the same on different phones and systems.
Note 2:
For a while, Instagram does not allow creating a new page with the name of a deleted page. So
if the name of the page is important to you or you want to create another account with this name, be sure to
change the name
of the relevant account before permanently deleting your Instagram account.
Note 3:
If you create an Instagram account with an email and delete the Instagram account permanently after a while,
you can no longer create a new page with the same email address
, even this time with a different name on Instagram.
Note 4:
Note that after deleting your Instagram account, there is no way to restore the page or its information. Of course, Instagram keeps your information for up to 90 days for a number of reasons related to copyright and possible complaints, but nowhere does it say that this information can be returned to you.
Note 5:
If less than a month has passed since your account was deleted, you can return your deleted account. If you regret deleting your account, Instagram only gives you 30 days to restore it. After this period, there is no chance to return.
Note 6:
You may do all the steps to delete the Instagram account well, but you can't do it. The main reason given by Instagram for this problem is sending direct messages to people. If you have sent a direct message and it has not been sent due to reasons such as slow internet, etc., it is not possible to permanently delete your Instagram account. Please wait for the direct message or delete it before sending it, and continue the steps to delete your Instagram account permanently.
What happens after deleting your Instagram account?
When you delete your Instagram account, your entire account history will be permanently deleted, (Meaning all
your photos, videos, stories, messages, likes, and followers will be deleted forever) and you have no way back.
It seems that none of them existed from the beginning. Even if you want to create a new account with the same
username, Instagram will not allow you and you will have to create a whole new account with a new username.
