Instagram

Bulk delete your Instagram posts

Instagram lets you select posts for deletion in Your Activity, but only a screenful at a time, and the grid reshuffles after every action. WipeMySocial keeps that loop going and can stop after a set number so you can try it before committing.

How it works

  1. Decide: archive or delete

    Instagram offers both on this screen. Archiving hides posts and is reversible; deleting is not. If you are unsure, archive.

  2. Filter, then set a cap

    Narrow by date in Instagram's own filter, then set a limit if you want a trial run.

  3. Work through the grid

    It selects and actions continuously, re-scanning as the grid reflows.

Things that catch people out

Archiving is the safer default

It is the only reversible option anywhere in this tool. Archived posts can be restored from Instagram later; deleted ones cannot.

Reels and Stories are not covered

This handles feed posts. Reels and Stories are not supported.

Deleting a post takes its comments with it

Every comment and like on that post goes too, including other people's.

Questions

Can I get a deleted post back?
No. Archived posts can be restored from Instagram; deleted ones are gone. Download your data first.
Does deleting posts lose my followers?
No. Followers, your bio and your handle are unaffected.
Can I delete only posts from a certain year?
Yes, using Instagram's Sort & filter date range before starting.
