To do it, head to \u201cSettings\u201d &gt; \u201cYour Activity\u201d &gt; \u201cDownload Your Information.\u201d After that, you can request a copy. Instagram will email you a link when it&#8217;s ready, which usually takes up to 14 days, but can arrive much earlier.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Check for connected apps<\/strong>: if you&#8217;ve used Instagram to sign into other services, for example, Spotify, shopping apps, Facebook, always make sure you know how to access those accounts after Instagram is gone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Inform those who are relevant<\/strong>: this is optional, but it does help prevent any fake accounts under your name.

You can still sign in during the first 30 days post-Instagram account deletion. Also, if you do sign in, the deletion request is automatically canceled. Instagram keeps your content during this time, but other users can&#8217;t see it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>After 30 days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Now, once the 30-day window closes, your Insta account and all the data that was on it, connected apps, images, etc., all are permanently deleted from Instagram&#8217;s active systems. Ensure you create backups of important data before deleting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The 90-day window<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There are a few instances where Instagram takes 90 days to fully remove all your data from their systems. So, there might still be some copies in backup storage for disaster recovery purposes. However, you still won\u2019t be able to access them, so make sure you recover what you need during the 30-day bracket.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can\u2019t Delete Instagram Account &#8211; Troubleshooting Guide<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re trying to delete your Instagram account, but keep encountering some issues.
