I Recently deleted my Gmail account without first deleting all of my other accounts associated with that Gmail account.

I have tried logging into my Instagram account and it tells me that I can't access it without first accessing my Gmail account. I have tried recovering my Gmail account and I can't recover that either.

I can just search up my Instagram account using any search engine and find my identity and photos associated with me publicly available.

I have looked at Instagram's requirements for deleting an Instagram account, and they say that I have to log in for security reasons.

Is there anything I can do about this?

There’s an option (I’m paraphrasing from memory) to regain access with “no access to email/forgot email address” or something similar.

The process includes you uploading a live moving selfie. I hope you’ve been honest with your profile pics. Haha.
