Instagram now lets you remove a single photo from the carousel
In early 2017, Instagram released a new feature by which users can combine up to ten photos and videos in a single post. This is a great feature, as a picture doesn’t always tell the whole story. With this feature, you don’t have to select a single picture to post, because you can post many perfect clicks in one.

However, the company does not allow you to delete a single photo or clip from this carousel. So, if you want to delete any of the photos or videos then you’ll need to delete the entire post and re-upload the other photos and videos to a new carousel.
Now, Instagram has finally added a new feature that is the ability to delete a photo or a video from the carousel. The new feature allows you to delete photos or videos you no longer need on the carousel while keeping the rest of the post intact.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced this new feature in the latest weekly update video on Twitter. He also revealed that Instagram users had been demanding this feature for a long time.
