    You have not indicated if you were using a portable device such as a Smart Phone/Tablet/etc or a computer (Laptop/Desktop/Tower).

    You downloaded a program that takes your personal information including passwords. Whoever created this program also has software that can decipher encrypted passwords.

    By delete I hope you mean you uninstalled the app as deleting it will not completely remove it.

    Contact Instagram support and report this problem with as many details as you can including the name of the app.

    deleting the app itself will not get rid of this person. delete the profile, and then try making a new profile. hopefuly this helps
