How to Delete Instagram Account Like a PRO

About this video

This short tutorial shows how to permanently delete an Instagram account from within the app in 2025. From anywhere in Instagram, tap the profile icon in the bottom right, then the three lines at the top right to open account options. Because those options change often, use the search box at the top and type ‘DEL’ to surface the deactivation or deletion option, then tap it. Choose the account you want to delete, select the ‘delete account’ radio button rather than temporary deactivation, and tap Continue. Instagram asks why you want to delete the account — the presenter chooses ‘something else’ — then requires you to enter your password before the final confirmation screen. Tapping the final delete account button completes the request, with one month to reverse the process simply by logging back in.

Key takeaways

• Start from the profile icon at bottom right, then the three lines at top right
• Search ‘DEL’ in account options to find the deactivation or deletion setting quickly
• Deletion is permanent and distinct from temporary deactivation — select the delete radio button
• You must give a reason and re-enter your password before final confirmation
• You have one month to reverse the deletion by logging back in
