Deleting a Published Instagram Post
Overview
Social Cascade can't delete Instagram posts after they publish. You can delete or change an Instagram post in Social Cascade any time before it publishes. After that, delete it in Instagram.
What Happens in Social Cascade
- Before the post publishes: open it on the Calendar and delete it as usual.
- After it publishes: Social Cascade won't delete it. The delete window shows: "This post includes Instagram, which doesn't allow deleting published posts from Social Cascade. Delete it on Instagram directly."
- If the same post also went to Facebook: Social Cascade can't delete only part of a published post, so the Facebook copy stays too. Delete the Instagram post in Instagram and the Facebook post on Facebook.
TikTok and YouTube work the same way: delete published posts in those apps.
