DeleteTweets

There comes a day when you scroll back through years of your own posts and decide most of them can go. Wiping an X account is easy to imagine and awkward to do well, especially if you want to keep a few posts. DeleteTweets, an extension for Chrome and Edge, is built around that. You pick tweets, retweets, replies, likes or all of them, then narrow the run by date range, by keywords, phrases or handles, or by engagement, such as deleting only posts below a certain number of likes.

A whitelist of exception keywords protects pinned or evergreen posts before a run starts, which is a thoughtful safeguard. You can back up deleted items and timeline snapshots first.

There's a hard limit worth knowing up front. The site explains that X only exposes roughly the most recent 3,200 items to tools, so a normal run can't reach further back. For older posts, Pro lets you import your official X data archive ZIP, and the extension works through that list instead.

Speed is limited too. According to the FAQ, X allows roughly 50 deletions every 15 minutes, plus an unpublished daily cap, so in practice about 1,000 a day is the ceiling. The extension paces itself to stay under that and to reduce the chance of X flagging the account, a reminder that X may not welcome this kind of automation. It runs in your browser session, so the browser has to stay open and the computer awake until it finishes.

Free covers about 50 deletions a day with basic filters and needs no card. Pro is $12 a month, or $6 a month billed yearly, and adds unlimited runs, archive import, backups and export, with one license usable on up to 10 devices. Payments go through Lemon Squeezy.

Under the privacy policy, last updated May 21, 2026, tweet content isn't uploaded to DeleteTweets servers in normal workflows. DeleteTweets is from the same maker as BskyDelete and DeleteThreads, and no company is named. The terms are blunt that deletion is permanent and can't be undone by you, the developer or X.

So take the backup, set your exception keywords, and try a small filtered run on the free tier before you clear out anything bigger.
