Deleting one of your Instagram accounts is a straightforward process that can be done directly through the app. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to remove an account that you’ve linked to a single login, simply follow the steps outlined below.
Access Your Profile
First, open the Instagram app on your device and navigate to your profile by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your profile page where you can view all the accounts that are currently linked to your login.
Go to Settings
Once you are on your profile page, look for the settings icon located in the top right corner of the screen. Tap on this icon to open the settings and privacy menu, where you will find various options related to your account.
Access Login Info
Within the settings and privacy menu, locate the option for “Login Info” and tap on it. This section contains all the information related to the accounts that are linked to your login credentials, including the account you wish to remove.
Select the Account
Once you are in the “Login Info” section, you will see a list of all the accounts linked to your login. Scroll through the list and find the account that you want to delete. Tap on the account to select it and proceed with the removal process.
Remove the Account
After selecting the account you wish to delete, a menu will appear with various options related to that account. Look for the option that says “Remove” and tap on it to initiate the account deletion process.
Confirm Deletion
Instagram will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the selected account. Double-check to make sure you have selected the correct account, as this action cannot be undone. If you are certain, confirm the deletion to proceed.
Final Steps
Once you have confirmed the deletion, Instagram will remove the selected account from your login credentials. You will no longer have access to that account through the single login, and it will be permanently deleted from your list of linked accounts.
Verification
Instagram may ask you to verify your identity before deleting the account to ensure that the deletion request is legitimate. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the verification process and finalize the account removal.
Completion
After successfully verifying your identity, the account deletion process will be completed, and the selected account will be permanently removed from your Instagram login. You can now proceed with using the app with your remaining accounts as needed.
