Instagram Comment Activity Deleter: Automate the deletion of all your Instagram comments from the 'Your Activity' section. Perfect for quick digital clean-up.
/**
* This script automates the process of deleting your own Instagram comments.
* It deletes comments in batches to avoid hitting rate limits or breaking the page.
*
* WARNING: This function directly manipulates the DOM and depends on the current HTML
* structure of Instagram's website to work. If Instagram implements changes to the
* activity page layout, structure, or functionality, this script may break or cause
* unexpected behavior. Use at your own risk and always review code before running it.
*
* How to use:
* 1. Navigate to the Instagram comments page by going to:
* https://www.instagram.com/your_activity/interactions/comments
* 2. Open the developer console in your web browser:
* - Chrome/Firefox: Press Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+J (Mac)
* - Safari: Enable the Develop menu in Safari's Advanced preferences, then press Cmd+Option+C
* 3. Copy and paste this entire script into the console and press Enter to run it.
*
* How to navigate to the comments page on instagram.com:
* 1. Log in to Instagram on a desktop browser.
* 2. Go to your profile by clicking on the profile icon at the bottom right.
* 3. Click on "Your Activity" in the menu.
* 4. Select "Interactions" and then "Comments".
* 5. Follow the usage steps above to run this script.

I tried it in both chrome and firefox and it doesn't work at all ,doesn't select any of the boxes

this message keeps popping up ;

No more comments to delete VM140:93 Activity deletion completed VM140:116

Did you use the first one or the new one a few comments bellow?
This error "No more comments to delete" its an error from Instagram, that's why the new version has a infinite loop, so it keeps running until instagram gets more comments.

it does not seem to find the deletion button. I am a doctor so almost no knowledge about these stuff, I tried to fix it with AI but nope.

doesn't work anymore :(

@DeltaOmegas they most likely changed the DOM enough by now that the selectors are not valid anymore.

I'll try to check it out soon and see if I can find a solution.

So I used ChatGPT to pump a lil bit the code and to make it work with the French version, it works !
Only problem is: sometimes Instagram doesn’t show at all the comments (no alert messages, just « You have no comments » but that is a lie).
The solution is to write a new comment but I don’t know how to automate this process…
My idea: write in the same publication the comment «test » and then get back to the comment page to continue the job.
I will send my code by tomorrow, have a nice day!

It works for the recognization but for the rest, nope.

Hope it helps! And tell me if you have the solution to this problem too.

I've used chatgpt to update the code so it can be used at this point in time, it uses selenium so be sure to have selenium installed, run this on python:

edit: for those who dont know how to install selenium do the following:

1.Press Win + R, type cmd, then press Enter.
2. Run These Commands One by One:
python --version pip --version pip install selenium
3. Then its done you can run the code above in python with no problem
