2. 1) Tap the person icon in the top right hand corner and go to Edit Profile
3. 2) Scroll down and, in the bottom right hand corner, tap Permanently disable my account
4. 3) Choose an option for why you are disabling your account and Instagram will ask you to enter your password again
5. 4) Confirm you want to disable the account.
