To delete an Instagram account permanently, follow these steps:
1. Log in: Go to the Instagram website or open the Instagram app on your mobile device. Log in to the account you wish to delete.
2. Access Account Settings: Once logged in, go to your profile page by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner (on the app) or clicking on your profile icon (on the website). Then, click or tap on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to access the menu.
3. Go to Settings: In the menu, scroll down and select “Settings” (on the app) or click on “Settings” (on the website).
4. Access Account Settings: Within the settings, look for an option called “Account” or “Account Settings.” Click or tap on it.
5. Find the “Delete Your Account” Option: Scroll down until you find an option labeled “Delete Your Account” or something similar. Click or tap on it.
6. Select Reason and Confirm: Instagram will ask you to select a reason for deleting your account from a drop-down menu. Choose the reason that best fits or select “Other.” Once you’ve selected a reason, you’ll need to re-enter your password.
7. Permanently Delete Account: After entering your password, click or tap on the “Permanently delete my account” button. This action will permanently delete your Instagram account along with all its data, including your photos, videos, followers, and profile information.
Remember, once you delete your Instagram account, you won’t be able to recover it, and all your data will be lost permanently. Therefore, make sure you’re certain about deleting your account before proceeding.
