If you are a new Instagram user, it is important for you to know how to delete comments on Instagram so that you can keep your account clean and safe from any malicious activity.
What Does Deleting a Comment on Instagram Mean?
When you delete comments on Instagram, it means that you can no longer see those comments in your feed. In addition, all of the likes, follows and replies related to those deleted comments will also be removed from your profile as well.
This makes it easier for people who want to interact with other users on Instagram without having anything unnecessary distracting them while doing so. Also, this will make sure that there are no toxic or harassing remarks left in the comment section of your photos or videos.
It’s easy to delete comments on Instagram, regardless of whether it’s someone commenting on your post and then later deciding to retract that comment, or if someone leaves a comment that you want to remove from your post.

Just remember these rules: you are not allowed to delete your own comments or any comments left on a post that you do not own. You are only permitted to delete any comments made by others on a post that belongs to you.

By following the above steps, you should be able to delete any comments you want on Instagram. Unfortunately, Instagram does not allow you to edit comments, even if they belong to you.
Simply replace the comment that you are currently submitting with a new one. Keep in mind that if you delete a comment, it will remove all the likes and replies that are associated with it. But you can still do this if it is an acceptable compromise.
