Instagram won't let me remove my reaction to a message! Help

Help

Sorry, I really don't know if I'm in the right place for this question.

But I reread a conversation with a deactivated account of a former friend with whom I had a disagreement, and I don't know why, I made the mistake of wanting to remove my reactions to her old messages, you know when you like a message and it puts a "❤️" below the message.

So I try to remove it, and then the “❤️” disappears for two seconds, then reappears! Panicked, I try to redo the operation and remove it again, and there, the same thing, the “❤️” disappears for two seconds then reappears! My darling who was next to me told me that when she reactivates her account, she will see me at the top of her message list marked: “❤️ liked your message”!!! No, that's not what I wanted! He explains to me that Instagram surely freezes interactions with deactivated accounts and that as a result, the fact of having tried to remove a like, and the fact that it therefore restarted on its own because the initial removal interaction failed, will be considered as a new interaction!

Will she really when she reactivates her account see my name at the top of her message list with the liked your message? It's not dramatic but really embarrassing.
