Thanks for this.

@hooperstu you're welcome! I'm glad it was useful for you. It's pretty crazy that there's no other way to bulk delete one's own activity on Instagram.

Thank you! It works but I encountered an issue.

Running this script at first deleted almost like 40 comments but then Instagram got stuck on loading animation. I tried refreshing the page and running the script again and it again selected around 37 comments but when it pressed the Delete button, I got this error

"There was a problem with deleting some or all of your content. Try deleting it again."

So I made some changes to the script and turned it into a bookmarklet and set it to delete 10 comments every 10 seconds. So there is a cooldown to let the comments page refresh
