X has no single wipe button for your post history. Third-party tools like TweetDeleter handle bulk deletion — some need your archive for older tweets.
X (formerly Twitter) has never built a feature that lets you erase all tweets in one click. The practical answer to how to erase all tweets is a third-party tool — you sign in, upload your archive if needed, and let the service handle the deletion. Below are the services that actually work, with exactly how to use them.
Why Doesn’t X Offer a “Delete All” Button?
X’s API only exposes about 3,200 of your most recent posts through third-party tools without extra steps. Full history deletion requires your downloaded archive (a ZIP file X generates on request) to reach older tweets. No native tool exists for a one-click wipe, so every reliable solution runs through a third-party service that connects to your account.
Erasing All Tweets: Which Tool Fits Your Situation
Several third-party services connect to your X account and offer bulk deletion. The table below compares the top options so you can pick one that matches your account size and comfort level.
| Tool | Platform | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| TweetDeleter | Web | Full wipe after archive upload — official X Enterprise Partner |
| TweetEraser | Web | Filtered or targeted deletion — official X Partner |
| TweetDelete | Web | Search-based deletion by keyword or date range — official X Partner |
| Redact.dev | Windows & macOS | Large accounts (over 1,000 tweets) using archive import |
| DeleteTweets | Chrome extension | Selective deletion by tweet type (tweets, retweets, replies, likes) |
| Circleboom | Web | Accounts beyond the standard API limit (marketing claim, method unverified) |
| Custom browser script | Browser (Chrome) | Free, manual batch deletion via developer console — fragile and rate-limited |
How to Erase All Tweets with TweetDeleter
TweetDeleter is the most direct option for a clean wipe. It lists itself as an official X Enterprise Partner and includes a delete-all feature that works with your downloaded archive. TweetDeleter’s bulk delete tool handles accounts of any size once the archive is uploaded.
The exact sequence:
- Request your X archive. Go to your X account settings, select Download an archive of your data, and wait for the file — X emails it within a few days.
- Upload the archive to TweetDeleter. Sign in with your X account, then upload the ZIP file. This step is what lets the tool reach tweets older than the API’s 3,200-post limit.
- Run the delete-all command. On the dashboard, click select all then Delete. Alternatively, go to Delete all X posts/tweets or likes, choose Delete all posts/tweets, and confirm.
- Check the results. Older posts disappear from your timeline within minutes. For recent posts, a second pass or the auto-delete option may be needed if the first run has a rate-limit pause.
Other Reliable Tools for Bulk Deletion
TweetEraser lets you sign in with X, set up predefined deletion methods or filters, and start erasing. It markets itself as an official X Partner and works through a web dashboard. No archive upload is mentioned in its docs, so it may only reach the most recent 3,200 posts without one.
TweetDelete provides search-based deletion by keyword, original Tweet ID, or date range. After signing in, you specify what to find and hit delete. It also calls itself an official X Partner and supports bulk operations on tweets and likes.
Redact.dev is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that handles large accounts well. Create a free account, link Twitter/X, leave the filters blank to target everything, select Delete All Tweets, and click Start Deletion. For accounts with over 1,000 tweets, importing your archive is recommended — archive import is a Premium feature, so check the pricing before starting.
What About Browser Extensions and Scripts?
DeleteTweets is a Chrome Web Store extension that supports deletion of tweets, retweets, replies, and likes with filtering criteria. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, open X, choose what to erase, and click start. It’s a solid pick if you prefer a browser add-on over a web service.
Custom browser scripts (like the Uprise RI method) run directly in Chrome’s developer console. You paste JavaScript into the console, and the script deletes tweets one batch at a time. This is free but fragile — small syntax changes break it, and X’s rate limits can stop it mid-job. Only consider this if you’re comfortable editing a few lines of code and running the same script repeatedly for large accounts.
| Common Mistake | Consequence | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Skipping the archive download | Older tweets stay visible and untouched | Request and download your X archive at least a day before you start |
| Choosing a tool without checking its price | Deletion stops midway if a feature is paywalled | Confirm the pricing model and free limits before granting authorization |
| Running only one deletion pass for a large account | Recent posts or retweets remain | Schedule a second pass or use the auto-delete option if the tool offers one |
| Trusting a browser script without testing | Syntax errors or rate-limit blocks interrupt the process | Test on a small batch of old tweets first, or stick with a partner tool |
| Forgetting to revoke tool access after finishing | The service still holds authorization to your account | Revoke the app’s access in your X account settings once the wipe is complete |
| Confusing tweets with retweets or likes in the tool settings | Some content types survive the deletion | Verify the tool’s selection toggles cover all content types you want gone |
| Not reading the privacy policy before authorizing | Your account data may be stored or shared | Skim the privacy policy to confirm the service doesn’t retain your post content |
Running Your Wipe: The Full Sequence
Here is the complete order of actions for a smooth wipe from start to finish. Follow this sequence once, and your feed will be clean.
- Request your X archive — do this now so it’s ready in a day or two.
- Choose a tool from the table above based on your account size. TweetDeleter or Redact.dev for large accounts; TweetEraser or TweetDelete for smaller ones.
- Sign in and upload your archive if the tool requires it. For TweetDeleter this means clicking select all and Delete on the dashboard.
- Run the deletion and confirm the your older timeline should show the posts gone.
- Run a second pass for any recent tweets the first pass missed due to rate limits.
- Revoke the tool’s access in your X account settings under Connected apps.
- Optional: set up auto-delete if the tool offers it, so future posts don’t accumulate again.
