Deleting an Instagram account does not delete messages from both sides. Conversations you had with others remain in their inbox, even if your account is no longer active. To fully remove messages, consider deleting them manually before account deletion. This ensures that your messages disappear from the recipient's inbox as well. Keep in mind, once the account is deleted, you lose the ability to access and manage your messages further.
