Whether it's an individual photo or the entire collection, it's easy to delete your Instagram highlights.

Highlights are a great way to organize your temporary stories so they are always visible on your account profile page. However, you may wish to update them as time goes on. To do so, first tap to view a highlight collection and then choose "More" options to delete an individual post or edit the collection.

In the edit page, you can uncheck multiple photos or videos you've uploaded to your curated highlights. If you uncheck all of them, you'll be prompted with a message confirming you wish to delete the whole thing.

Here's how to delete a highlight on Instagram.
