Quote:Getting rid of social networks is somewhat trendy now — ironically, sometimes it’s trending on social networks, as with #DeleteFacebook. Instagram is no exception.

Yeah its technically slightly different to other social media like twitter. In case of twitter, you can delete all your old tweets but keep the archive for you & still can keep using the acc as new from the day. Basically a small refresh to clean out old huge amounts of tweet(via an app).
