General
What is Delete My Tweets?
Delete My Tweets is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that allows you to bulk delete tweets, retweets, and likes from your Twitter/X account. It runs entirely on your computer, ensuring your data stays private.
Why would I want to delete my tweets?
There are many reasons: protecting your privacy, removing old opinions that no longer represent you, cleaning up your professional image, starting fresh, or simply reducing your digital footprint. Many people delete tweets before job interviews or when their account goes viral unexpectedly.
Is this app affiliated with Twitter/X?
No, Delete My Tweets is an independent third-party application. We use browser automation to delete content — the same method you would use if clicking each tweet manually, just automated.
Does this work with the new X rebrand?
Yes! Twitter and X are the same platform. Delete My Tweets uses browser automation that works regardless of branding changes.
Features & Functionality
Can I delete all my tweets at once?
Yes! You can select all tweets and delete them in bulk. The app handles Twitter's rate limits automatically, so even if you have tens of thousands of tweets, it will keep running until everything is deleted.
Can I filter which tweets to delete?
Absolutely. You can filter by date range (e.g., delete everything before 2020), by keywords (e.g., delete tweets containing specific words), or by engagement (e.g., only delete tweets with fewer than 5 likes).
Can I delete retweets and likes too?
Yes, Delete My Tweets can remove your retweets (unretweet) and likes (unlike) in bulk, not just your original tweets.
What about tweets older than what shows on my profile?
Delete My Tweets uses browser automation to scroll through your profile and find all tweets. It will keep scrolling until it reaches your oldest content, regardless of how far back you go.
Do I need to download my Twitter Archive?
No. Unlike API-based tools, Delete My Tweets works directly in your browser. It scrolls through your profile just like you would manually, so it can find and delete all your tweets without needing an archive export.
Can I preview tweets before deleting them?
Yes, the app shows you a list of tweets that match your filters before you confirm deletion. You can review and adjust your selection.
Privacy & Security
Is my data safe?
Yes. Delete My Tweets has no servers. Not "secure servers" — literally no servers at all. We have no backend, no database, nowhere for your data to go. Everything runs entirely on your machine using your browser session. Your tweets never leave your computer because there is nowhere to send them.
Do you store my Twitter password?
No. Delete My Tweets uses your existing browser session — the same way you'd browse Twitter normally. Your password never touches our app because we have no servers to receive it. You log into Twitter in your browser; we just automate the deletion clicks.
Do I need to grant the app access to my account?
No. Unlike other tools, Delete My Tweets does not request OAuth access or API tokens. It uses browser automation with your existing logged-in session. There is nothing to revoke later because we never had access in the first place.
Does the app need internet?
Yes, it needs internet to load Twitter in your browser and perform deletions. But the app communicates directly with Twitter from your machine — no data passes through any third-party servers because we have none.
Technical
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10 or later (64-bit), or macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later. The app requires approximately 100MB of disk space and works best with at least 4GB of RAM.
How long does it take to delete my tweets?
Browser automation takes time, but runs hands-free. Hundreds of tweets: 30 minutes to an hour. Thousands: several hours. 10,000+: all day or overnight. Start it, walk away, and let it work in the background.
What if the app crashes or I close it accidentally?
No problem! Just reopen the app and continue where you left off. Already-deleted tweets won't appear again, so the app will pick up from where it stopped.
Does deleting tweets affect my follower count?
No, deleting tweets does not affect your followers. Your follower count stays the same. Only the tweet content is removed.
Are deleted tweets really gone forever?
Once deleted through the API, tweets are removed from Twitter's servers and are not recoverable. However, note that third-party archives (like the Wayback Machine) or screenshots may still exist independently of Twitter.
