How to Use Computer Support to Delete Multiple Instagram Photos

Use Bluestacks

Learn the process. Although you can use this method to delete photos on Instagram through the Bluestacks emulator on Android, you cannot delete multiple photos at once.

There's no way to delete multiple Instagram photos at once, as Instagram has blocked extensions, apps, or services that could previously do this.

Install Bluestacks on your computer. Go to https://www.bluestacks.com/ and click the green Download BlueStacks button , then double-click the downloaded installation file and follow the on-screen prompts.

On a Mac, you must verify the installation.

Download Instagram APK file. Bluestacks will not allow you to install Instagram from the Google Play Store, so you must download the Instagram APK file and install it directly in the following way:

Visit https://apkpure.com/instagram/com.instagram.android using your computer's browser.

Click Download APK .

Allow APK to be downloaded.

Open Bluestacks. Click or double-click the Bluestacks app, which looks like a stack of green, yellow, and blue cards.

Click the Installed Apps tab . It's in the top left of the Bluestacks window.

Click Install apk . It's in the bottom right corner of the window.

Select Instagram APK. Access the folder containing the downloaded APK file, then left-click to select the file.

Click Open in the bottom right corner of the window to install Instagram.

Open Instagram. Click the Instagram app with the colorful square camera icon.

If this requires you to restart Bluestacks with a different graphics card, click Restart and wait for Bluestacks to complete the process before continuing.

Click the blue Log In button on the first page of Instagram.

Enter your Instagram login information. Click the "Phone number, email or username" box and type your Instagram username (or email address or phone number), click the "Password" box, and Enter your Instagram password then click Log In .

Verify your account when requested. If you are asked to verify your account before continuing, do the following:

Choose a verification method (text or email).

Click Send Security Code.

Receive a 6-digit security code in a phone message or email.

Enter the 6-digit security code.

Click Submit .

Click on the profile icon in the bottom right corner of the Bluestacks window. This will open your profile page.

Click the photo you need to delete to open it.

Click ⋮ in the top right corner of the photo to open the selection list.

Click Delete in the menu.

Click Delete when prompted. This will remove the photo from your Instagram.

Repeat this process for each photo you want to delete.

Use Google Chrome

Open an incognito window on Google Chrome. Open Google Chrome if you don't already have it open, click ⋮ in the top-right corner of the window, and click New incognito window in the drop-down list.

You can also press Ctrl+ ⇧ Shift+ N(Windows) or ⌘ Command+ ⇧ Shift+ N(Mac) to open a new incognito window.

Open the Developer Tools window. Right-click an empty space on the page, then click Inspect in the drop-down list. You'll see the Developer Tools window appear on the right side of the page.

Log in to Instagram. Click the Log in link near the bottom of the page, enter your username (or email address or phone number) and password, then click Log in .

Click Delete when prompted to remove the photo from your Instagram account. The photo won't disappear from the current window, but if you reload the page or open your profile in the Instagram app, your photo will no longer be there.

You need to click the profile icon again to exit the photo window.
