## Answers

### Answer by Vishal Kesarwani

Before telling you **the steps of deleting the Instagram account** I would like to give you a reminder that as after you delete your account**, your profile, photos, videos, comments, likes, and followers will be permanently removed.**

Well, you can also temporarily **disable your Instagram account** if you want to for a particular period of time in which your account will be hidden from the Instagram until the time you do a re-login. **Now coming to the steps of deactivating the Instagram account:** \

- At first login to your Instagram account from your phone or from your pc.
- Go to options at the top of the right side of the Instagram profile.

- Then go to the delete account page and tap on the option of delete account.
- You will be asked reasons why you are deleting the account.
- Select the reason stated according to your niche
- And then finally your account will be deleted.

One **more reminder** I would like to add as after you delete your **Instagram account** you can’t access again to Instagram again with the same username.
