Instagram has a feature allowing you to delete a photo from a published carousel. This action is available in the post settings. After deleting a single photo from a post carousel, the remaining photos will still be visible, and the post will still be considered one of your Instagram posts.

The only limitation of this feature is that you cannot remove a photo from an Instagram carousel with only two photos.

How to restore a deleted photo to an Instagram carousel?

If you’ve accidentally deleted a photo from an Instagram carousel and you want to restore it, you need to follow these steps:
