Before deleting your Instagram account, we’d recommend taking a few moments to download a copy of everything you’ve uploaded to the platform first. This includes your photos, videos, comments and profile information.
To download your data, follow this link, enter your email address and Instagram account password, and hit the Request Download button. It can take Instagram up to 48 hours to gather this data together and send it to you, so it requires some extra patience.
