And If you're trying to delete an old Instagram account, you'll first want to make sure you have the correct username. Then, if you still need to, you'll need to find it and make sure you have it memorized before proceeding.

If you're ready to delete an old Instagram account but need to know how to do it without a password, here's a step-by-step guide.

  • Step 1: Go to the app store on your phone, and search for "Instagram." You should see the icon on the first page or two. Click on it to download the app to your phone.
  • Step 2: After downloading and launching Instagram, press the symbol in the upper left corner of your screen. This will open your profile page.
  • Step 3: Tap on "Settings" at the bottom of your screen. This will open up a dropdown menu with options for different settings within Instagram. Tap on "Help Center" in this menu.
  • Step 4: Scroll down until you find "Delete Account." Tap on that option, then tap "Delete Account." You'll be asked if you'd like to delete all of your data from Instagram—including photos, videos, messages sent through Instagram, and so on—and whether you want anyone else who has access to your account (such as friends or family) to be able to access any remaining data after you delete your account. If you're certain that you want to remove your account, select "Delete my Account." 
  • Step 5: Tap "Continue" to finish deleting your Instagram account.
  • Step 6: Tap "Delete My Account" one last time and then tap "OK." You'll see a confirmation box that tells you that Instagram has deleted all of your data from the service and asks if you're sure that you want to delete your account. Tap on "Yes" to confirm.

This will take you through a few steps where you'll have to verify that this is what you want to do before the process begins. Once verified, however, your Account will be deleted within 30 days of confirmation.

If there's anything in particular that makes this feel too much work or not worth it: don't worry!

You can always download all your posts and save any photos or videos in your library

Just head over to Download Your Data and choose what you'd like saved before hitting Start My Download—and then all of those things we mentioned above will be waiting for you once your Account has been deleted (or sit tight until 30 days are up).

Now let's talk about transferring all your data to a new account. You'll want to start by heading over to My Settings and then clicking on the "Forward Your Account" option (it's near the bottom).

From there, you'll see an email address and password that you can use when creating a new Instagram account—which will automatically transfer all your data from the old one.

Final thoughts

Now you know how to delete an old Instagram account without a password or email. Of course, you can also log into your account and delete it that way, but if you don't know the password, this method is a much simpler way to do it.

You should also know that deleting your account won't delete any photos or videos you've posted in the past. They'll still be there, but they'll be hidden from public view.
