Click on "Delete Account" to initiate the process.

Choose a Reason and Confirm:

You'll be asked to select a reason for deleting your account from the dropdown menu.
After selecting a reason, you'll need to re-enter your password to confirm the deletion.

Permanently Delete Account:

Once you've confirmed your password, click on the "Permanently delete my account" button.

Instagram will send a confirmation email to the email address associated with your account.

Verify and Complete Deletion:

After completing these steps, your Instagram account will be permanently deleted. Your profile, posts, and other data will be removed from the platform. Keep in mind that this process is irreversible, and you won't be able to recover your account or any of its content.

If you're hesitant about permanently deleting your account, you can consider temporarily deactivating it instead.
