When you delete instagram account, your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes and followers will be permanently removed. If you’d just like to take a break, you can temporarily disable your account instead.
How do I delete my Instagram account?
After you delete your account, you can’t sign up again with the same username or add that username to another account. We can’t reactivate deleted accounts.
For security reasons, we can’t delete an account for you. You’ll need to be able to log into your account to delete it. If you can’t remember your password or username, see some tips for logging in.
