In order to use names that aren’t used, Instagram will delete unused accounts. Although there’s no set amount of inactivity, not logging in for years can result in your account being removed. Log into your account now and then and be sure to follow the website’s terms of service and community guidelines.

@brittonsjohn, Well, the Instagram algorithms do not have any such time frame to remove unused accounts. But yes, it removes if the account is totally inactive for a longer period. Hence, if you have any, make sure to properly delete or restart it again with Instagram rules & regulations. Hope you understand!

Yes, Instagram may delete inactive accounts, though it doesn’t specify an exact timeframe. Accounts that remain unused for a long period risk removal to free up usernames and reduce inactive profiles. Logging in occasionally and interacting with content can help keep your account active. Once deleted, accounts typically cannot be recovered, so it's wise to back up any important data and stay minimally active.

Yes, Instagram can delete inactive accounts, but only after a long time, usually a year or more, without any activity. They don’t give an exact time, but if you don’t log in or use your account at all, it might get removed. To keep it safe, just log in once in a while or like a post.
