How to delete your instagram account

 Trying to delete your Instagram account? Here’s how to temporarily disable or permanently delete your Instagram account.

Deleting your Instagram account requires nothing aside from a few quick clicks and confirmations on the Instagram website.

There are two different ways to take your Instagram profile offline.

1) Temporarily disable your Instagram account: When you temporarily disable your account, your profile, photos, comments and likes will all be hidden. However, when you log back in, all of that information will be reactivated.

2) Delete your Permanent Instagram account: When you permanent delete your account, your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes and followers will be permanently removed.

Once you’ve deleted your account, you won’t be able to sign up again with the same username, or add the same username to another account. It’s also impossible to reactivate a deleted account.
