How to Delete Multiple Instagram Posts in Bulk Automatically?

Update: Hello, there have been a few changes in Instagram UI, hence this script won’t be working now. I need to adjust the script, however, there is no ETA for when I will do it. Thank you for understanding.

If you’re revamping your business, then it’s a good idea to remove all the existing posts and start from scratch. However, Instagram does not support mass delete options. You need to delete the photos one after the other manually only from the mobile app.

Currently, the Instagram mass delete or clean-up solutions available are very limited and unsecured. The Instagram mass cleanup third-party apps require you to share your login username and password. These apps are not even listed on Google PlayStore or Apple App Store, hence you can imagine the risk to your account.

I recently published an article and video demo on how to delete Instagram photos on the computer. Though this option is not available, however using the tip, I mentioned you will be able to delete the post from a computer browser.

Based on the same tip, I developed an InstaG Purger script that automatically deletes Instagram photos fast from your account one after the other. This script is safe and does not need your credentials, unlike other solutions.

If you want to take a rest and assign bulk delete Instagram work to someone, you can hire me like my recent client has done to get 15000+ posts deleted.

How to Bulk Remove Instagram Photos?

As I mentioned, the mass deletion or bulk removal of Instagram photos is really simple using the script. It only works on the computer and not on mobile phones.

Here are the steps to mass delete Instagram posts at once:

Step 1: Log in to your Instagram account in the Chrome browser on the computer.

Step 2: Switch to the Profile home page. ex: https://instagram.com/restorebin

Step 3: Right-click for more options and select Inspect.

Step 4: Click on the Toggle device toolbar.

Step 5: Reload the Instagram profile page.

Step 6: Click on the Feed icon to make a switch.

Step 7: Switch to the Console tab in the Developer console.

Step 8: Copy and paste the below InstaG Purger script in the Console.

Step 9: Hit on the Enter button on the keyboard to execute the script and auto-delete the Instagram photos.

The script will be executed, and the console log will display the number of posts deleted. You can customize the script to set as many as the post you want to delete.

There are chances that the script might fail after a few days or months due to changes in Instagram UI. However, please let me know if it does, I will be happy to update and fix the script as soon as possible.

The InstaG Purger script can mass delete all Instagram posts at once without any software, apps, or extensions.

InstaG Purger Script

Here is the script that you need to run in the Chrome browser developer console:

// Name: InstaG Purger
// Details: https://wpaq.com/instagram-posts-bulk-delete/

var i = 0;                                                                                              //  set your counter to 0
function instagramDeleter() {                                                                           //  create a deleter loop function
   setTimeout(function () {                                                                             //  call a 3s setTimeout when the loop is called
        document.querySelector('div.Igw0E.rBNOH.YBx95._4EzTm').click();  //  selector to click on options menu
        setTimeout(function () { document.querySelector('button.aOOlW.-Cab_').click(); }, 2000)         //  selector to click delete option
        setTimeout(function () { document.querySelector('button.aOOlW.-Cab_').click(); }, 4000)         //  selector to click delete confirmation
        console.log (i+1 +" Deleted")                                                                   //  delete numbering to console
        i++;                                                                                            //  increment the counter
        if (i < 5) {                                                                                    //  if the counter < 5, call the loop function
            instagramDeleter();                                                                         //  ..  again which will trigger another 
        }                                                                                               //  ..  setTimeout()
    }, 6000)
}
instagramDeleter();

Modify the highlighted value in green to set the number of Instagram posts to be deleted in one go.

Alternatively, you can also use this variation of the script below that will run in some cases.

var i = 0; 
function instagramDeleter() { 
  setTimeout(function () { 
    document.querySelector('div.QBdPU').click();
    setTimeout(function () { document.querySelector('button.aOOlW.-Cab_').click(); }, 2000) 
    setTimeout(function () { document.querySelector('button.aOOlW.-Cab_').click(); }, 4000) 
    console.log (i+1 +" Deleted") 
    i++; 
    if (i < 5) { 
     instagramDeleter(); 
    } 
  }, 6000)
}
instagramDeleter();

Thanks to Dan for altering the script and mention in the below comment sections.
