Delete All or Some of Your Instagram Saved Collections at One Time
Instagram deletes saved collections one at a time, with a confirmation for each. Our app deletes them as a batch. Give us the names to match, or no names at all to clear every saved collection. Name the ones you'd hate to lose and we'll skip them. You see the full list in a preview before anything goes, and the posts inside stay saved to your account either way.

What gets deleted
The collection goes and the saved posts stay
A saved collection is a folder of pictures and deleting one takes the folder and its name off your Saved page. Instagram keeps your pics and videos that were in it saved, and you'll still find them under All posts. So this is our tool for clearing out old folders. It doesn't unsave posts one by one.
The form is two boxes, both about the name. Name Search limits the run to collections with your word or phrase in the name. Preserve collections by name protects any collection with it in the name. Both match whole words, so summer covers Summer 2019 but not Summertime. Leave both empty and every saved collection is in the run. There's no date range, because a collection doesn't carry a date.

What a run leaves alone
Four things that stay where they are
All posts
Instagram's own All posts collection can't be deleted, so we leave it out of the list.
The posts you saved
Everything inside a deleted collection stays saved to your account. Instagram says so on its own Delete collection prompt.
Collections you protect
Any collection with your Preserve word or phrase in its name is skipped, even if it also matches Name Search. It has to be a whole word, so type the name the way it's written.
Your profile
Instagram's Saved page says only you can see what you've saved, so deleting one changes nothing on your profile. A collection you share with friends is different. They can see it too, and a run doesn't tell shared collections apart, so protect it by name if anyone still uses it.
