DeleteTweets

DeleteTweets is a local-first Chrome and Microsoft Edge extension that helps people remove unwanted X (formerly Twitter) history while keeping their accounts. It is useful for job seekers reviewing old posts, creators retiring previous projects, and businesses removing outdated announcements, replies, retweets, or likes. Rather than deleting each item manually, users select one or several content types and apply precise filters by keyword, date range, engagement level, or content category. Keyword-based exceptions can preserve important posts even during a larger cleanup.

Getting started requires installing the extension and signing in to X in the same browser. Users open DeleteTweets, choose the types and filters, inspect the cleanup scope, and start a paced deletion run. The tool uses the current browser session for X actions and does not ask for the account password or require server-side OAuth authorization. Automated pacing helps reduce rate-limit interruptions, although the platform can still throttle actions. The computer and browser must remain active during browser-based cleanup.

For older tweets that no longer appear in X's recent timeline, paid users can download their official X archive ZIP and import it into DeleteTweets. This archive workflow helps locate older posts beyond the roughly 3,200-item live timeline window. Backups, record exports, and engagement filters give users more control before irreversible deletions. Imported archive data and backups are handled in local browser storage rather than being uploaded to a separate tweet-deletion server.

The Free plan allows approximately 50 deletions per day with basic filters. Pro Monthly is $12 per month. Pro Annual is advertised at $6 per month when billed yearly, equivalent to $72 per year. Pro unlocks archive import, high-volume deletion workflows, backups, exports, advanced filters, and no extension-imposed monthly item cap, while X's own rate limits still apply.
