How to delete your photo in Instagram

Unfortunately, the photos published in the Instagram can be frankly unsuccessful, and not only do not collect the likes, but also become the object of not the most pleasant (and most importantly, adequate) comments. In some cases, the photos are good, but the owner forgot to add meta tags when publishing - the most important component in the promotion of their content. There are many more reasons why photos from Instagram should be deleted. There are two ways to do this:

• Irreversible. Select an image and click the options icon (to the right of the photo). Select "Delete" from the drop-down menu.
• Safely. This method of removal simply transfers the photo to the "archive" folder, the contents of which are hidden from prying eyes and are available only to the profile owner. Select the desired image and click the menu icon (ellipsis). In the drop-down list, select "archive".

Deleted in a secure way (archived) photos can be viewed, shared with friends and restored at any time, which can not be done with irretrievable removal.
