Delete All Your Tweets for Free – Easy Step-by-Step Guide - Trimd

How to Delete All Your Tweets (X posts) for Free (Step-by-Step Guide)

There are a few ways to delete all your tweets for free on Twitter/X:

1. Using TweetDelete (Free Plan)

Go to TweetDelete
Log in with your Twitter/X account.
Set the filter to "All my tweets."
Click "Delete my tweets."
Limitation: The free version only deletes up to 3,200 tweets due to Twitter API restrictions.

2. Using TweetEraser (Free Plan)

Go to TweetEraser
Log in with your Twitter/X account.
Use the free version to delete up to 3,200 tweets.
Limitation: Doesn't delete tweets older than the 3,200 limit unless you upload an archive.

3. Manually Delete Tweets

Go to Settings > Your Account > Download an Archive of Your Data (if you want a backup).
Scroll through your profile and delete tweets one by one.
Limitation: This is slow for large numbers of tweets.

4. Using a Free Script (Advanced Users)

If you have more than 3,200 tweets, you can use a script:

Download your Twitter data archive.
Use a script like this GitHub one (requires Python).
Limitation: Requires technical skills.

5. Deleting Your Account (Last Resort)

If you want a full reset, deactivate your account (Settings > Your Account > Deactivate).
After 30 days, all tweets and data will be permanently deleted.

If you have more than 3,200 tweets and want full deletion without paying, the script method is your best bet.

Method: Using a Free Script to Delete All Tweets

Since Twitter/X limits API access, the best way to delete all tweets (including those beyond 3,200) is by using your Twitter Data Archive.

Step 1: Download Your Twitter Data Archive

Go to Settings > Your Account > Download an archive of your data.
Wait for Twitter to process it (can take a few hours or days).
Download the ZIP file when it's ready.

Step 2: Use a Python Script to Delete All Tweets

You'll need Python installed on your computer.

1. Install Required Python Libraries

Open a terminal or command prompt and run:

2. Get Twitter API Keys

As of recent changes, Twitter restricts free API access, but you can try these steps:

Go to Twitter Developer Portal.
Create a developer account (may require approval).
Get API keys and access tokens (you’ll need them for the script).

3. Run the Script

Here’s a Python script to delete tweets from your archive:

python

import json
import tweepy
import time

# Load Twitter API keys (Replace with your own keys)
API_KEY = "your-api-key"
API_SECRET = "your-api-secret"
ACCESS_TOKEN = "your-access-token"
ACCESS_SECRET = "your-access-secret"

# Authenticate with Twitter API
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(API_KEY, API_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)

# Load tweet archive (Replace with the path to your Twitter data archive) with open("tweet.js", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
    tweets = json.load(file)

# Delete tweets one by one for tweet in tweets:
    tweet_id = tweet["tweet_id"]
    try:
        api.destroy_status(tweet_id)
        print(f"Deleted tweet ID: {tweet_id}")
        time.sleep(1)  # To prevent hitting rate limits
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error deleting {tweet_id}: {e}")

print("All possible tweets have been deleted.")

Step 3: Run the Script

Save the script as delete_tweets.py, then run:

Alternative: Use a Paid Service for Bulk Deletion

If you don’t want to code, you can use paid services like:

TweetDelete (Free for 3,200 tweets, paid for more)
TweetEraser
Redact

Final Thoughts

If you have fewer than 3,200 tweets, use TweetDelete or manually delete them.
If you have more than 3,200 tweets, download your archive and use a script.
If you don’t want to bother with scripts, paid services are an option.
