# Delete Instagram comment

> Deletes a comment on Instagram media.

`metaAds.deleteInstagramComment` permanently deletes a comment on the account's Instagram media.

```ts automations/meta-ads-delete-instagram-comment.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { metaAds } from "automate.ax/meta-ads"

export default automation("Delete Instagram comment", () => {
  onDashboardRun({ title: "Delete Instagram comment" })
  metaAds.deleteInstagramComment({ commentId: "comment-id" })
})
```

Only the media owner can delete comments, and live-video comments can't be deleted. Prefer [Hide Instagram comment](https://docs.automate.ax/reference/integrations/meta-ads/actions/hide-instagram-comment.md) when you might need the comment later. Optional second argument `{ account }` selects a static project account binding.

Returns `success`. Deletion isn't replay-safe. The action needs `instagram_basic`, `instagram_manage_comments`, `pages_read_engagement`, and `pages_show_list`.
