Q&A for How to Delete Followers on Instagram

On your following list, there is a bunch of people you follow, and the buttons are all green. Look for the person you want to unfollow, and press the button next to their username. After you do this, it will say follow. You have unfollowed them.

Technically, yes--there are apps and sites you can use to mass-delete followers, but these services often trigger a spam warning due to Instagram's unfollow-per-hour policy. You're better off setting your account to private and then blocking followers manually.

If your Instagram account is private, a person whose follow request you reject will not be able to see your posts. They will only see your profile picture, username, bio, follower and following counts, post count, and a "This account is private" message.

Yes. Just click the "Following" tab on their profile, and then click "unfollow", or on your profile, you can unfollow them by clicking "following" which will remove them from your following list. They won't receive a notification about it.
