Delete all your tweets, likes & reposts — and see proof they’re really gone

Deleting tweets in bulk: what actually works

Posting on X (formerly Twitter) takes seconds; undoing it takes much longer. Anyone who has tweeted for a few years ends up with thousands of old posts, replies, reposts and likes they would rather not have on their profile — a job change, a rebrand, a bad take from long ago. Searching for how to delete all tweets turns up the same answer everywhere: do it one by one, because that is the only thing X itself offers.

Why there is no “delete all tweets” button on X (Twitter)

X treats every post as an individual item, so its menu only ever acts on one at a time. Likes and bookmarks are worse: there is no bulk option for them at all. On top of that, X shows only around the latest 3,000 posts of a profile and limits how fast a list can be read, so even finding your oldest tweets is a task of its own.

What a good tweet deleter should do

The risky part of any bulk tool is that it acts faster than you can check. A tweet deleter worth installing should show you the full list before anything is removed, let you take items off that list, and save a copy of what it is about to delete. It should move at a pace you chose, stop when X pushes back, and — above all — tell you the truth afterwards. X can answer “success” when a deletion failed, so Postwash asks X again after every deletion and only counts a post once it is really gone.

Delete old tweets and keep the ones that matter

Most people do not want an empty profile; they want the old posts gone. Postwash filters by date (older than 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or a range of your own), by words you want to catch or never touch, by a maximum number of likes or views so your popular posts survive, and by media. Your pinned post is kept, and you can build a protected list of posts that are never deleted, whatever the filters say. If you want a clean-up that never ends, schedule it: a weekly run for posts older than 30 days keeps the account tidy without any effort.

Likes, reposts and bookmarks

Deleting your own posts is only part of a cleanup. Removing a repost takes away only your repost; the original stays with its author. Unliking in bulk leaves the posts themselves on X. Emptying bookmarks clears your saved list in one run. Postwash treats all five lists the same way: scan, preview, back up, confirm, verify.

Beyond 3,000 posts: use your X archive

If your account is older than what X will list, request your data archive from X, then drop tweets.js and like.js into Postwash. It deletes by post ID and skips the listing completely. The files are read on your computer and never uploaded.

Privacy: what leaves your computer

Your posts do not. Postwash never asks for your X password and has no way to receive it; it works through the session you already have open in the browser, the same way the X website does. Your history, the backup files and the activity log stay on your device. Signing in with Google shares only your name, email address and profile photo. If you also manage who you follow, see X Unfollow AI, and for exporting tweets, followers and bookmarks before you delete them, see Roostbox.
