InstaTools

InstaTools — Clean Up Your Instagram in Batches InstaTools is a browser tool that helps you take back control of your Instagram history. If you've ever tried to delete years of old comments, unlike photos you no longer care about, remove reposts, or clear out old posts one at a time, you already know how painful that process is — Instagram simply wasn't built for bulk cleanup. InstaTools fixes that by automating the exact same "select, delete, confirm" actions you'd do by hand, just faster, in organized batches, with built-in pauses so you're not click-click-clicking for hours. InstaTools does not use any private or undocumented Instagram API. It does not ask for your password, does not log in on your behalf, and does not connect to any external server. Everything happens inside your own browser, using your own already-logged-in Instagram session, by automating clicks on Instagram's own built-in tools — the same "Select" and "Delete" buttons you'd use manually. Think of it as a very fast, very patient assistant clicking through your own account settings for you. WHAT INSTATOOLS DOES InstaTools currently supports four cleanup modes, all built around the same reliable mechanism Instagram already provides: 1. Comments — Bulk-delete comments you've left on any post, anywhere on Instagram, using Instagram's own "Your Activity → Interactions → Comments" management screen. 2. Likes — Bulk-remove likes from posts you've liked in the past, using Instagram's own "Your Activity → Interactions → Likes" screen. This is a great way to reset your like history or simply declutter what Instagram's algorithm has learned about your taste over the years. 3. Reposts — Bulk-remove your reposts using the equivalent "Your Activity → Interactions → Reposts" management tool. 4. Posts — Bulk-delete your own posts directly from your profile grid's built-in multi-select feature. This is the one mode that needs your Instagram username (just typed in once and remembered locally) so InstaTools knows which profile to open. Because Instagram already provides a native multi-select tool for each of these four categories, InstaTools doesn't have to guess at how to interact with your account. It simply automates the exact clicks you would make yourself: open the management screen, click "Select," check the boxes, click "Delete" (or "Unlike," depending on the category), and confirm. InstaTools just does it over and over, batch after batch, so you don't have to sit there repeating the same four clicks hundreds of times. THE CONTROL PANEL Whenever you're on one of the four supported Instagram screens, a small floating panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the page. This panel is where everything happens: — Batch Size: how many items InstaTools selects and removes in a single pass before pausing. This is capped at 24, deliberately kept just under Instagram's own internal limit of 25 items per bulk selection, so you never bump into a rejected or partially-processed batch. — Delay Between Actions: the number of milliseconds InstaTools waits between individual clicks (selecting a checkbox, clicking Delete, confirming, etc.). The default is 700ms, which mimics a normal, unhurried pace. You can raise this if you ever see Instagram show a rate-limit or error message — a longer delay reduces how "bursty" the automation looks to Instagram's systems. — Repeat Again After (Seconds): once a batch is fully processed, InstaTools waits this many seconds before starting the next batch. This is adjustable between 15 and 60 seconds, with a live on-screen countdown so you always know exactly what's happening and when the next batch will begin. This pacing exists specifically to avoid hammering Instagram's servers with back-to-back requests. — Skip Items On Posts By: an optional list of usernames (comma-separated) whose posts you want left alone. For example, if you're clearing out old comments but want to keep everything you've said on a close friend's or partner's posts, just add their username here and InstaTools will skip over any item tied to them. — Start / Stop: Start begins the batch process using your current settings. Stop can be pressed at any time — InstaTools will finish whatever single action it's mid-way through and then halt cleanly, rather than stopping abruptly in a broken state. — Live Stats: three small counters track Batches completed, Items Removed, and Errors encountered, so you always have a running total of what's happened during the current session. — Activity Log: a small scrolling log at the bottom of the panel narrates what InstaTools is doing in plain language — which batch it's on, when it's waiting, and if anything went wrong and why. Nothing happens silently or invisibly. — Home / Minimize / Close: every panel has three header controls. Home takes you back to the main Instagram feed. Minimize collapses the panel down to just its title bar so it's out of your way while still running in the background. Close stops anything in progress and hides the panel on that page entirely (it will reappear automatically the next time you navigate to a supported Instagram page, so you're never permanently locked out of it). DELETE ALL — ONE-CLICK FULL CLEANUP For anyone who wants a truly clean slate, InstaTools includes a "Delete All" button on the Comments, Likes, Reposts, and Posts panels. Clicking it asks for a one-time confirmation (because this action is permanent), then automatically works through all four categories in sequence — Comments, then Likes, then Reposts, then Posts — fully clearing each one before moving to the next. You don't need to babysit each tab or manually switch between screens; InstaTools handles the navigation between Instagram's different management pages on its own. Once every category has been fully cleared, you'll see a simple confirmation popup letting you know the entire cleanup is finished. If you press Stop at any point during a Delete All run, the entire chain is can…
