Instagram Bulk Comment Deleter

Browser-based JavaScript utility for bulk deleting Instagram comments from the comments activity page.

⚠️ Use at your own risk. Deletions are irreversible.

Features

• Uses text-based selectors — resilient against Instagram DOM changes
• Supports English and Turkish UI locales (Select/Seç, Delete/Sil)
• Enables multi-select mode and deletes comments in safe batches
• Multiple fallback strategies for finding UI elements
• Automatically repeats until no comments remain
• Conservative defaults to reduce the risk of action limits

Usage

1. Open Instagram in a desktop browser.
2. Navigate to:
   https://www.instagram.com/your_activity/interactions/comments
3. (Optional) Click Sort & filter to select a specific date range — only filtered comments will be deleted.
4. Open the browser developer console:
   • Mac: Cmd + Option + I
   • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + I
5. Copy the script from auto-delete-instagram-comments.js and paste it into the console.
6. Press Enter.

💡 If pasting is blocked, type allow pasting in the console and press Enter, then try again.

Configuration

Edit these constants at the top of the script:

Constant	Default	Description
MAX	10	Comments to delete per cycle
CYCLE_DELAY	20000	Delay between delete cycles (ms)
SELECT_DELAY	1200	Delay after clicking Select (ms)
ICON_DELAY	700	Delay between selecting comments (ms)
DELETE_DELAY	1500	Delay before confirming deletion (ms)

Stop Execution

To stop the script mid-run, execute in the console:

window.__STOP_IG_BULK_DELETE__ = true;

How It Works

1. Finds the Select/Seç button by scanning all <span> elements for matching text
2. Enters multi-selection mode
3. Locates comment checkboxes using multiple selector strategies (data-testid, role="checkbox", etc.)
4. Selects up to MAX comments per cycle
5. Clicks Delete/Sil and confirms in the modal dialog
6. Repeats until no comments remain or the stop flag is set

Notes

• Instagram frequently changes its HTML structure. This script uses text-based and ARIA-based selectors instead of data-bloks-name attributes for better resilience.
• Start with a low MAX value (5–10) and increase gradually.
• Keep the browser tab visible and focused while the script runs.
• This script is provided as-is. No guarantees are made regarding long-term compatibility.
