We sweep tracks, or Delete an account in the Instagram

The constant attention, the desire to get as many as possible of likes and to get many subscribers, the creation of beautiful photographs and the waste of time for editing them - all this sooner or later can seriously annoy. At some point you decide that you do not need a profile in the Instagram, and you make a serious decision to remove it.

Why do I need to delete my profile?

To eliminate the profile, it is necessary, first of all, to determine the reasons for this desire. They can be objective (based on the convenience of using the network) and subjective (based on your individual assessment).

Among the main motivations that encourage account holders to get rid of maintaining a profile and constant supervision of it are the following:

• Create a new account
• termination of the use of this social network;
• fatigue from increased attention;
• The lack of time, which does not allow to conduct a qualitative profile;
• need a break in order to gain strength for further Instagram-accomplishments.

Each person decides whether to make such a decision or not, a reason that is insignificant for one user can be very important for another person.

How long does it take to delete my account?

Decision-making on the liquidation of the profile is quite serious, because so much time and effort has been spent to develop it and fill it. To avoid hacking, there is an opportunity to block the account temporarily, and if a well-considered decision is taken, you can permanently delete it.

Let's figure out what you need to do to remove your profile from Instagram.

How do I delete a profile?

First of all, I would like to note that it is impossible to delete an account via a mobile phone. You can clear the phone's memory from the application program itself, but the profile will still remain active.

You can only delete an account using the official website:

1. Temporary deletion of the account in Insta. If you are considering the option that once you return to this social network, then this option is suitable. In order to delete the profile in this manner, you need to perform the following manipulations:

• from the phone or computer through the browser by the link go to the official website of the social network;
• enter the login credentials;

Note! If you do not remember the password from your account, you can restore it using your phone number, email, or a linked Facebook account.

• go to the main profile page where the description is indicated and the avatar is lit;
• click on the button "Edit profile";
  
• turn the page down, find the button "temporarily block my account" in the lower right corner and click on it;
• indicate the reason why the decision was made to temporarily lock the profile;
  
• in the field for filling we specify the password from the account;
• click on the lock confirmation button.

After all these steps, your page is no longer available to other users.

Note! In order to return the possibility to use the account it is necessary to enter the profile using the old login and password through the mobile application or computer.

2. Deleting a profile permanently.

Note! After you step-by-step delete in this way, you will not be able to regain access to the profile. Before removing your account from Instagram, we recommend to save memorable photos and videos.

In order to permanently block your account, you need to perform the following steps step-by-step:

1. We go to the official site of the social network and log in with a username and password;
2. To eliminate the page, go to the special link https://www.instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/
3. On the opened page we indicate the reason for deleting the account and enter the current password from the profile;
4. Click on the button "Permanently delete my account."

How can I delete a second account from one account?

If you have several profiles that you manage through one account, you can delete one of them in the following way:

• go into the social network and go to the settings settings section;
• scroll down to "disconnect";
• click on the button with this inscription and nickname, which must be untied;
• In the application, you can switch only between those profiles that you have not disabled (no more than 5).

Note! With this method, you can only unbind an additional account. To delete a profile, you need to log in with a username and password and then follow the steps above to eliminate it from the social network.

Alternative to deleting a page

Some users who have developed their profile on the social network for many years and then deleted it have more than once regretted it. Starting from scratch and bringing your account to the old level is a very long and painstaking process. You can simply delete the application, forget about this social network, but at the same time pay attention to the correct setting of the privacy profile, which will limit the receipt of information from third parties.

To make it easy to use the Instagram without deleting the page, you can do the following:

1. Close account. You can do this using the following algorithm:

• log in to your account with a username and password;
• go to the main page and click on the top of the screen on the gear (icon settings);
  
• in the "Account" section, click on the "Closed account" menu item;

After completing these steps, no user who is not subscribed to your account will be able to view the content that is placed in it. In order to become your subscriber, the user will need to send you a request to become your "friend". You will decide who will be able to have access to your publications, and who will not be given this opportunity. You can view the subscription requests sent to you from the top in the actions tab.

2. Subscriber blocking. If among the audience interested in your user account there are those who leave negative comments and constantly spoil your mood, you can not delete them, but block them. To do this, it is sufficient to perform the following actions in sequence:

• go to the main page of your profile;
• go to the section "Subscribers";
• with the help of the search we find by the nickname of the "objectionable" user and open his page;
• at the top of the screen, click on three vertical dots;
• In the menu that opens, select the "block user" command.

This will allow you to understand how easy it is to do without it, and whether you need it.
