# Delete Instagram comment

Automatically delete Instagram comment on instagram.com. Delete one of your own comments on an Instagram post or reel by its shortcode and comment id. Opens the comment's own permalink, drives its options menu then Delete, and reloads that permalink to prove it is really gone before reporting success. Fails clearly when the comment isn't available (already deleted, wrong id/shortcode) and when its options menu has no Delete entry (a comment that isn't yours).
