How do I mass delete all my Instagram posts?

Install Redact, connect your Instagram account, and choose the content types to remove (photos, videos, reels, carousels). Leave the filters blank for a full wipe, or set a date range or keyword to target a subset, then run a Preview and start the deletion.

Can I delete some posts but keep others?

Yes. Filter by content type, date range, or caption keyword so Redact only queues the posts you want gone, and exclude individual posts from the Preview screen before you confirm.

Can I delete posts from a specific year or era?

Yes. Use the date range filter to target a window, for example everything posted in 2019, or everything older than a year, and Redact queues only the posts inside it while leaving the rest of your grid in place.

Can I delete Instagram Reels and carousels too?

Yes. Reels, carousels, photos, and videos are all post content types in Redact. Select the ones you want and clear them in the same pass.

Is deleting Instagram posts with Redact free?

Yes — deleting your last 30 days of posts is free, and reels and carousels are free for the last 30 days too. To clear posts older than 30 days, you'll need a paid plan .

Will deleting posts change anything else on my profile?

No. Removing a post only takes that post off your grid, along with its likes and comments, exactly as a manual delete would. Your bio, followers, saved collections, and account settings are untouched, and Redact never sees or changes your login.

Does Redact store my Instagram login or my posts?

No. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access required to carry out your actions. Your login and content never touch a Redact server, and you can disconnect Instagram whenever you want.

Can I schedule recurring cleanups so posts do not pile up again?

Yes. Save your filters and enable Schedule, also known as Disappearing Mode, to run daily, weekly, or monthly. Redact reapplies your rules and removes new matches automatically.

Why bulk delete your posts

Years of old posts are a liability you forgot about

Your photos, videos, reels, and captions make up a large slice of your public footprint. Leaving years of it online is a standing risk to your reputation, your privacy, and increasingly your own content.

01

Old posts resurface out of context

A photo from years ago can misrepresent who you are today, and that will not stop anyone from finding it and resharing it. For creators and public figures, an old post can mean controversy or a lost partnership.

02

Employers and clients screen your profile

Surveys put the share of employers who screen candidates on social media around 76%. A single old post can cost you an opportunity before you reach the interview.

03

Your photos leak more than you think

Years of posts reveal locations, routines, and relationships that add up to a detailed profile. That is exactly the raw material used for targeted phishing, stalking, and identity theft.

04

Meta can use your posts to train AI

Public Instagram content is swept into Meta's AI training. Clearing old posts shrinks what can be scraped, reused, and surfaced long after you have moved on.

What this feature does

Clear years of posts quickly and automatically

Pick the content types to include, set your filters or leave them blank for a full wipe, preview the batch, and run it. Everything happens locally on your machine, and Redact only touches the posts you ask it to.
