If you’ve ever deleted an Instagram account, you know it’s not as easy as just pressing the “delete” button. In fact, there are a few different ways to go about it, depending on the device you’re using and your account’s settings. If you’re using a desktop or laptop computer:

  1. Open Instagram on your computer.
  2. Click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen.
  3. Select “Account.”
  4. Under “Settings,” click on “Deleted Accounts.”
  5. If your account is currently active, it will show up here with a green checkmark next to it. If it’s been deleted, it will have a red X next to it and a message saying “This account has been deleted.”
  6. Click on the red X to delete your account. ..
