What happens when you delete your Instagram account?
Once you delete your account, all your information will be with Instagram before Instagram permanently deletes all of it. Sometimes the deletion process can take up to 90 days. Once the duration ends, all your data including your photos, videos, likes, followers, and comments will disappear permanently.
If you don’t want that to happen, you can choose to temporarily disable your account instead. Once you delete your original account, you can use the username to create a new account as long as someone else hasn’t taken your username for their Instagram account.
Conclusion
So, that’s how you can permanently remove your Instagram account. Make sure you have made up your mind about this because there’s no way of recovering your Instagram account once you remove it. Also make sure that you don’t loose any important information or memory.
