You can re-register with the same username or add it to another account after your account has been deactivated, as long as it hasn’t been stolen by another Instagram user.

Keep in mind that if your account was suspended due to a violation of the Community Guidelines, you may not be able to re-register with the same username.

We are unable to remove your account for security reasons. To request deletion, you must be able to log into your account. Take a look at these logging-in advice if you can’t remember your password or username.
