This article will show you how to permanently delete your Instagram account or temporarily suspend your account. The good news is that you can still get your account back after 30 days, if you want to. There are several reasons why people would want to delete their Instagram account. Read on to learn more. But first, let&#8217;s look at why you would want to delete your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_suspending_your_instagram_account\"><\/span>Temporarily suspending your instagram account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a regular Instagram user, you may want to consider temporarily suspending your account. This can be done once per week, and can prevent your posts from becoming visible to your followers. Just be sure not to accidentally log back in again, since your posts will become visible to anyone following you. If you do decide to temporarily suspend your account, you must contact Instagram to let them know why. However, if you notice a pattern of account violations, you may wish to consider waiting a few days to get back in.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel like your Instagram account is causing you stress or depression, you can disable your account. You must first sign into the Instagram website and then select your reason for disabling the account. Then, you must confirm the action by entering your password. Once you confirm this action, you will be able to resume using Instagram again. Once you do, be sure to read the Community Guidelines before you do anything else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Permanently_deleting_your_instagram_account\"><\/span>Permanently deleting your instagram account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After 30 days, you can&#8217;t bring your deleted Instagram account back. You must recreate it. However, your username may already be taken by another user. If you want to restore your deleted Instagram account, you have a few options. Log in to your Instagram account with your credentials. You will notice that the date data will be gone, but you can still press the &#8220;Keep Account&#8221; button. Otherwise, your account will be permanently deleted.<\/p>\n<p>To permanently delete your Instagram account, you must first log into your Instagram account. After logging in, a drop-down menu will appear. Choose the reason you want to delete your account. Press &#8220;Delete&#8221; to complete the process. Once you&#8217;ve entered your reason, you can proceed with the process of deleting your account. The process takes about five minutes. Make sure to download all your photos and videos before deleting your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_your_instagram_account_back_after_30_days\"><\/span>Getting your instagram account back after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to getting your Instagram account back after deletion is to contact Instagram support. The best way to contact them is to fill in your country&#8217;s name in the &#8216;Which country are you contacting us from?&#8217; field. Once you have submitted your information, you will receive an email within 48 hours with instructions and a verification code. Then, you can log into your account using your username and password.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t received an email in the past few days, you can also send an appeal to Instagram. Instagram will send you a code via email, which you can enter to retrieve your account. Be patient and wait for the verification to occur. It could take up to 20 days to complete the appeal process, so check your account periodically. If it&#8217;s been more than 30 days, you can submit an appeal stating that you were not using a third-party app to deactivate your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_delete_your_instagram_account\"><\/span>Reasons to delete your instagram account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete your Instagram account for whatever reason, there are a few reasons you might want to do so. First, Instagram accounts can&#8217;t be deleted if they are not active. To delete your account, you have to log into your account and choose the reason. If you delete your account due to other reasons, you will have to start over from scratch. But before deleting your Instagram account, you should first find out why you want to delete your account in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided to delete your account, there are several reasons to do so. Delete your account because you&#8217;ve outgrown it, you want to delete it for your own personal reasons, or because you&#8217;ve made it too complex. But deleting your account is a relatively easy process. All you have to do is follow the instructions on Instagram&#8217;s website to delete your account. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll receive an email entitled &#8220;Your Instagram Data.&#8221; After selecting a reason to delete your account, click the blue &#8216;delete my account&#8217; button. Don&#8217;t reconnect or log in to your Instagram account before you delete it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Your Instagram Account If you are worried about the safety of your personal information on Instagram, you can follow a few steps to delete your account.
