| * 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. | |

how to delete likes??
Literally @rathmerdominik's code adapted to Likes.
Use at your own risk. This script manipulates the DOM directly. If Instagram changes their UI, this might stop working.
Instructions:
1. Go to https://www.instagram.com/your_activity/interactions/likes
2. Important: Ensure Instagram language is set to English (US).
3. Open Console (F12 or Cmd+Option+J).
4. Paste the script below and hit Enter.
