Hey there, dear Internet Patrollers! We’re here today to navigate the often confusing paths of the digital world together, and this time we’re focusing on Instagram. Yes, the platform that’s filled with stunning photos, cute dog videos, and your favorite influencers’ latest updates. But, what if you want to say goodbye to it all? Well, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your handy guide on how to delete your Instagram account in 2023.
Instagram, with its tagline “Capture and Share the World’s Moments”, has been a significant player in the social media realm. But, for those of you feeling overwhelmed by the constant influx of content, or simply seeking a digital detox, deleting your Instagram account might be the right move. Don’t worry, we see you, we understand you, and we’re here to help!
This guide will show you how to permanently delete your Instagram account. But remember, this means exactly what it says – permanent. Your photos, videos, comments, likes – poof! – they’re gone forever. If that sounds too drastic, you may want to consider the option to temporarily disable your account instead.
To delete your Instagram account, you’ll first need to log in via a web browser. Yes, you read it right! As of 2023, you can’t delete your account from within the Instagram app itself. So, pull up your laptop or desktop browser, or even your mobile browser, and let’s get started.
Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Delete Your Account’ page. Instagram will ask why you’re leaving, and you’ll need to select a reason from the drop-down menu. Maybe you spend too much time scrolling, or you’re concerned about your privacy. Whatever your reason, Instagram wants to know.

After selecting your reason for leaving, you’ll need to re-enter your password. This is just to confirm that it’s indeed you, and not a mischievous sibling or a curious pet trying to delete your account. Upon entering your password, the option to permanently delete your account will appear. And then, with one final click on ‘Permanently delete my account’, your Instagram journey comes to an end.
You’ve done it! You’ve successfully navigated the labyrinth that is Instagram’s account deletion process. But remember, Instagram’s a bit like Hotel California – you can check out any time you like, but you can (almost) never come back. Well, at least not with the same username.
So, if you’re having second thoughts or delete-your-Instagram remorse, remember that there’s a grace period. Instagram allows you to restore your account within 30 days of deletion. Just log in as you normally would, and follow the prompts to restore your account.
So, there you have it, folks! Your ultimate guide to deleting your Instagram account in 2023. Remember, the choice to stay or leave is entirely in your hands. Until next time, keep patrolling and stay safe in this vast Internet world of ours!
