One of the peculiarities of this social network is that When you write a Tweet you can no longer edit it, you can only delete it. It is an aspect that many people criticize, but we could say that this is the charm it has and – although not always – it makes us think more about things before writing them.
Deleting tweets is the process to follow if you have made a mistake when writing what you wanted to write or if you want to “clean up” past tweets.
For all cases, Twitter gives you the option to delete tweets one at a time, but there are applications that allow you to delete tweets in bulk.
We are going to explain the two options you have when deleting Tweets within Twitter.
How to delete tweets manually?
If you have no idea how to delete tweets, here we show you how to delete tweets manually, step by step:
- You have to log in to the account where you are going to delete tweets and go to your profile, which is in the options on the left.
- Then go to the tweet you want to delete and click on the down arrow, which will be to the right of the tweet.
- Click on Delete or Delete tweet.
- An alert window will open. You will only have to hit delete to delete the tweet.
Done, you have now deleted a Tweet.
Now let’s see what you should do if, as we said, you want to do a mass deletion of tweets and do not want to be repeating this step constantly.
How to delete tweets in bulk?
If you want to bulk delete tweets there are applications that can help you.
One such application that is also quite useful is TweetDelete. It is a free platform that allows you to delete 3,200 tweets in bulk.
These are the steps you will need to follow to mass delete tweets:
- Go to https://tweetdelete.net/ and log in with your Twitter account. You will need to authorize this application to take action on your account.
- Once you do this it will take you to a page where it will put your profile name and give you a range of dates to do the deletion of tweets: from one week to “the beginning of time”. It has different options where you can choose tweets that only contain a word or phrase and you can make it run once only or after several days.
- After clicking on “I have read and agree to the terms”, you have to click on Delete my tweets and little by little they will be deleted.
It is a useful tool to clean up your Twitter profile by deleting tweets in bulk without wasting too much time.
Another interesting tool is TweetDeleter which will also allow you to delete all your tweets.
As many Twitter users will know, the platform starts archiving your tweets once you exceed the 3,200 limit.
Although the Tweet Deleter app only has easy access to the 3,200 most recent tweets, the website claims that all you have to do is upload your tweet archive and TweetDeleter will be able to delete all tweets, no matter how many you have.
If you want to mass delete tweets with this application, follow the steps below:
- Log in with your Twitter account at https://tweetdeleter.com/es/. Once inside, log in with your Twitter username and password to access your tweets.
- Upload your tweet archive. If you have more than 3200 tweets, upload your Twitter archive so TweetDeleter can access and delete all tweets.
- Delete all tweets at once. Go to Delete all tweets or likes from your dashboard, select Delete all tweets and confirm this action.
With these steps, you would have it done. However, as recommended on the website itself, think twice before confirming, as all your tweets will be deleted and permanently removed from your Twitter timeline.
Note also that the application has free access and you can perform certain actions, but to delete tweets massively you can only do it through the different payment plans available, and you must choose the one that best suits your needs.
In any case, if any of these tools does not convince you, you can do it manually if there are few tweets you want to delete or do a thorough research on the Internet to find the deletion method that suits you best.
