How to delete an Instagram account permanent using the latest method.
Your Instagram account will be permanently deleted using this method; it won’t be temporarily deleted, and you won’t be able to get it back. Some users might want to temporarily delete their Instagram account; in that case, they can use the deactivate Instagram account method.
You might wish to sign in and download a copy of your data from Instagram (such as your images and posts) before deleting your account. Because your profile, pictures, videos, comments, likes, and followers will all be permanently deleted when you delete your Instagram account. And you won’t have access to Instagram’s data download tool once your Instagram account is deleted. If you deactivate your Instagram account temporarily, your profile, images, comments, and likes will be hidden until you log back in and reactivate it. Only from a computer, a mobile browser, or the Instagram app for iPhone can you deactivate your Instagram account.

Permanently Delete Facebook Account – Simple Link Method
Your account and all of your information will be permanently deleted 30 days after you request that it be deleted, and you won’t be able to get it back. However, if you log in again in that time period, you can cancel the request.
The deletion process can take up to 90 days to finish completely. Instagram also states that after the 90-day period, copies of your content might still be present in their backup storage, which they use to restore data in the case of a catastrophe, software mistake, or other data loss event. They might also keep a record of your information for things like legal matters, term violations, or measures to prevent harm.
