A Chrome and Edge extension that does exactly one thing: delete every repost from your own Instagram Activity, one click at a time, without ever asking for your password.

Instagram’s Repost feature happily puts other people’s content onto your profile. Taking it back off is the part nobody designed for. There’s no “clear all reposts” button anywhere in the app. You open each one from your Activity page, find the option, confirm, and repeat, for as many reposts as you’ve ever made. ClearIns is built around that one missing button.
One job, done in a loop
Install the extension, stay signed into Instagram.com in the same browser, click Start, and ClearIns works through your Activity list removing reposts one after another without you touching each one yourself. It includes an auto-refresh loop for long repost lists and what its own listing calls auto-stop protection, so the extension gives up gracefully rather than looping forever on an item Instagram’s interface won’t let it remove. That second detail is the more telling one: it’s the kind of edge case you only build a safeguard for after watching your own tool get stuck on it.
It doesn’t ask for an Instagram password. The extension runs inside your already-logged-in browser session, the same category distinction that matters for every tool in this space: reading and clicking through an interface you’re already authenticated into is a different, much smaller trust ask than handing credentials to a third party.
A small tool with a sibling
ClearIns’ support address runs through support@cleartok.io, and ClearTok is the same idea applied to TikTok: a bulk repost remover, also a lightweight browser extension, also explicitly built to never ask for a platform password. One small team, it seems, solved this exact annoyance twice, once per platform, rather than trying to build one tool that juggles both.
On the Chrome Web Store, ClearIns sits at 4.9 stars from 14 ratings and 374 users, a tiny number next to the platforms it operates on, but a number that tracks with what the tool actually is: a narrow utility for a specific regret, not a growth product chasing a mass audience. Free Chrome and Edge extensions cover the core removal job; paid Android and iOS apps extend it further for anyone who wants the same cleanup available outside the desktop browser.
The part worth noticing
What makes ClearIns worth a mention isn’t cleverness, it’s restraint. The extension doesn’t bundle analytics. It doesn’t try to upsell a follower-growth scheme. It doesn’t ask to see your DMs. It automates a single repetitive click Instagram forces on anyone who changes their mind about what they’ve reposted, and stops there.
In a category full of tools promising to manage your entire social presence, follower audits, engagement scores, growth hacking, that narrowness is closer to a feature than a limitation. Nobody opens ClearIns looking for insight into their account. They open it because a year of casual reposting has turned their Activity tab into a chore, and they want it gone before they have to think about it again.
