Mass Delete Your Instagram Reels

Redact bulk-deletes your Instagram Reels. Clear old videos, trend reels that didn't age well, or low-performing clips in one pass, instead of opening and deleting each reel by hand.

Why clear out old reels

Reels age faster than anything else on your profile

Reels ride trends and audio that move on within weeks. The ones you posted a year ago rarely represent you, or perform, the way they did.

Old reels date your profile fast

A clip built on a dead trend or sound can make an otherwise current profile look stale the moment someone scrolls your reels tab.

Low-view reels drag down your numbers

A wall of under-performing reels pulls down the average reach that Instagram and brands judge your account on.

Reels are tedious to clear by hand

Instagram offers no bulk reel deletion, so clearing them means opening each one and deleting it individually.

What this feature does

Clear your Reels without touching the rest

Select Reels as the content type, filter by date, caption keyword, or engagement, or leave it open to clear them all, preview the batch, and run it locally. Your photos and carousels stay put.

  • By date
  • By keyword

Step-by-step guide

How to mass delete your Instagram Reels with Redact

Connect your account, select Reels, and Redact clears the matched clips for you.

  1. 1

    Download Redact for free

    Install Redact on your device. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus iOS and Android.

    Download for your device →
  2. 2

    Connect your Instagram account

    Open Redact, choose Instagram, and link your account securely. Your credentials are sent straight to Instagram and never touch a Redact server.

  3. 3

    Select Reels and filters

    Choose the Reels content type, then narrow it down by date, caption keyword, or engagement, or leave the filters blank to clear every reel.

    Good to know: deleting your last 30 days of reels is free. Clearing reels older than 30 days needs Premium.

  4. 4

    Preview, then confirm

    Run a Preview to check the queue and exclude any reels you want to keep, then start the deletion.

  5. 5

    Let Redact do the work

    Redact works through your reels and removes each match, showing progress as it goes. Keep the app running until it finishes.

Your reels never leave your device

Redact deletes your reels straight through Instagram from your device, using only the access needed to do it. It never stores or uploads your videos, and you can disconnect Instagram at any time.
