Can someone explain Instagram engagement rates?

So I'm growing my old account with 25k followers and the engagement is shockingly low but it is improving. My recent engagement has been pretty consistent but the rate is slowly improving. Are engagement rates based on the last 10 posts for example or is it calculated from every post I have done? Will deleting/archiving photos from years ago with nearly no likes improve this?

Sorry if my question is hard to understand lol

Believe its the last 12 posts, maybe 9

Deleting or archiving older posts wont help

That's what I thought but if my posts are getting the same amount of likes/comments over those 12 posts why would my engagement rate be improving?

Analytics on 3 different sites are showing my engagement rate going up in percentage

Deleting old posts will not help , but if you remove ghost followers from your account your engagement will surely boost

There are various ghost followers removal tools ( search on google ) - but read reviews first before using them
