Instagram banned my account without reason. Or rather, they turned off my ability to interact with the account. The account is still there. People can view my photos. At this point I would just like the account removed, but there's no way for me to do it.

If I log in on my PC it tells me to log into the app to regain access to my account. If I log into the app on iOS, I get a black screen. On Android I also get a black screen, but I can also navigate through the menu. Every menu item either gives me an error saying something like "challenge required" or takes me to the same message I see on PC. I've tried all the online guides I can find, but none of them seem to have my specific problem.

Is there any way to remove an Instagram account without going through the usual channels?

It is amusing how times have changed that a highly technical person seeks help in a highly technical forum for things as basic as removing an account. We are truly entering interesting times.
