Are you tired of managing multiple Instagram accounts and want to streamline your account management? Or perhaps you’ve linked an old account that you no longer use and want to remove it from your list of linked accounts? Whatever your reason, deleting a linked Instagram account is a quick and easy process.
Follow these steps to delete a linked Instagram account:
- Open the Instagram app on your phone and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap on the three vertical lines in the top right corner of your profile to open the options menu.
- Scroll down and tap on “Settings.”
- Under the “Account” section, tap on “Linked Accounts.”
- Tap on the account that you want to delete.
- Tap on the “Unlink” button.
- Confirm that you want to unlink the account by tapping “Unlink” again.
That’s it! Your linked Instagram account has now been deleted. Keep in mind that deleting a linked account does not delete the account itself – it simply unlinks it from your main Instagram account. If you want to delete the account permanently, you’ll need to do so through the account settings of the linked account.
If you want to add a new linked Instagram account, simply follow the steps above and tap on the “Add Account” button instead of the “Unlink” button. You’ll then be prompted to enter the login information for the account you want to link.
