Delete Your Instagram Account
Deleting an Instagram account deletes all of your profile including your posts, likes, and comments as well. Once you delete your account there is no way by which you can recover your account. So, be careful while deleting your account.
Here’s how to do this;
- Log in to your Instagram account on any browser
- Enter this URL https://www.instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/
- Select the reason for deleting your account
This will permanently delete your account. So, think twice before you do it. Well, I would personally recommend you to disable your account rather than deleting it permanently, as you can always recover it.
