Hello. I am thinking about deleting my instagram account for obvious reasons: Addiction and privacy. I am worried that in future AI will use my data. And I am consuming loads of brainrot content. (Sigma sigma on the wall whos the skibidiest of them all)

Now I am asking a question specifically about privacy. When I delete my instagram account will there be data that I no longer can delete, but I could delete before? I know this sounds complicated but I will try to explain what I mean.

Lets use reddit as an example: If you create a post you can delete it afterwards. However if you don't delete the reddit post but delete your account, the post will still be visible it just says deleted account. Now for instagram. Is there something like that? Are there things that I lose the ability to delete?

Also I fear that after I delete my account I get impersonated by someone else (specifically bots) which I would not be aware anymore because I've already deleted my instagram account. I know I can be impersonated anyway, but I fear getting impersonated and not even being aware.
