About Instagram data requests
You can request deletion of data obtained through Instagram from Meta's app settings. After Meta sends us the request, its confirmation link lets you check the status here. Keep that link private.
Disconnecting Instagram stops the connection. It is not a data deletion request.
An Instagram data deletion request concerns data obtained through Instagram. It is not the same as deleting your platform account or withdrawing an Entry.
Imported profile details, images and their historical public presentation are removed. Results, necessary audit records and the private link to your platform account are retained. Image recovery copies may take seven days to expire before we confirm completion. You can reconnect with fresh consent once active cleanup has finished, even while those recovery copies are still expiring.
For platform-account requests and the differences between removal actions, read Your data & deletion.
