In 2012, Facebook purchased Instagram. The company's user base has increased tremendously since then.

However, as an Instagram user, there may be instances when you don't want to utilize the social media platform anymore.  What you can do is to select any of these two options:

•  Abandon the account without deleting it.
•  Delete your Instagram account completely.

While we don't need to show you how to accomplish the first choice, we will go over how to deactivate your Instagram account in detail.

How to Completely Delete an Instagram Account

The steps are simple and quick to follow. So, let’s get started.

• Go to Instagram's home page, where you can log in.
•  Log in to your Instagram account using your log-in details when you arrive at the Instagram home page.
• After logging in, you'll be taken to your profile page.
•  At the top right corner of your profile page, you will see three lines, click on the lines.
• Next, click on the ‘settings button’ from the bottom left corner.
• After completing all of the preceding procedures, click on the “Help” icon. There is no delete button over there, so don't waste your time looking for it.
• Choose the "help center" from the drop-down menu option.
• You'll see "Manage your account" there, and all you have to do now is click on it.
• After that, you'll have an option to "Delete your account."
• After that, you'll be given three options: completely delete your account, temporarily disable your account, or gain access to or examine your Instagram data.
• If you wish to take a break from Instagram for a bit, simply select "I want to temporarily disable my account."
• If you don't want your Instagram account to be accessible anymore, choose the first option, "Permanently delete my account."
• A new page will appear after that.
•  You will be asked to sign in with your account’s username and password again.
• It will then ask you why you are deleting your account, and when you click on that, you will be presented with a number of options from which you must select an appropriate option or whatever reason you have for deleting your account.
• After choosing the reason you want to delete your account, you will then be asked to enter your password again.

Your profile image, photos, comments, and messages will all be hidden from the public eye. Once you've completely deleted your account, you'll need to create a new one.
