In the case of stories, however, if the feature for archiving has not been enabled erased material can only be restored within 24 hours of its deletion. Instagram’s archive function is similar to the recycle bin on any system that keeps files for a certain amount of time. The story can be restored within 30 days if the archive has been enabled.
