How to Delete Your Instagram Account Without Regret

1.  How to temporally deactivate instagram account 

• Deactivating your Instagram account temporarily takes your profile, photos, comments, and likes off the grid. You can reactivate it at any time by logging back in. You can do this from a computer, mobile browser, or the Instagram app for iPhone, but only once a week.
• Here's how to temporarily deactivate your Instagram account:
• Make sure you're logged in to your account.
• Go to the Instagram website or open the Instagram app for iPhone.
• Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
• Tap on the three lines in the top right corner.
• Tap on "Settings."
• Scroll down and tap on "Account."
• Tap on "Temporarily deactivate my account."
• Enter your password and tap on "Temporarily deactivate account.

To permanently delete your Instagram account from Accounts Centre, follow these steps:

1. Click the More menu (three horizontal lines) in the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Accounts Centre.
4. Click Personal details.
5. Click Account ownership and control.
6. Click Deactivation or deletion.
7. Click the account that you want to delete.
8. Click Delete account.
9. Click Continue.

Once your account has been deleted, you can sign up again with the same username or add that username to another account as long as it hasn't been taken by someone else. However, if your account was removed for violating Instagram's Community Guidelines, you may not be able to sign up again with the same username.

After 30 days, your account and all of its information will be permanently deleted. During those 30 days, your content will still be subject to Instagram's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, but it will not be accessible to other users.

It may take up to 90 days to complete the deletion process after it begins. Copies of your content may remain after the 90 days in backup storage that Instagram uses to recover in the event of a disaster, software error, or other data loss event. Instagram may also keep your information for legal reasons, to enforce its terms of service, or to prevent harm. You can learn more about this in Instagram's Privacy Policy.
