So make sure you back up those account-related memories to your system. The steps to delete your account are as follows: 

  1. Go to delete your account page after logging in to your account from the internet browser. Similar to deactivating your account, the Instagram official app doesn’t have a provision to delete your account. 
  2. Then, you are requested to select an option in why you need to delete your account; various options such as creating a second account, privacy issues, too many ads, etc., can choose from the given option.
  3. Instagram will also provide you with a help center link related to the concern. If your concern is addressed, then you can stick with Instagram. Still, you want to continue or don’t want to express why click on “something else,” .you are required to re-enter your password.
  4. Click on permanently delete my account.

Once you clicked delete, all the profile-related information would be deleted, and it it won’t be possible to recover. Neither can you log in with these credentials.
