Delete All Your Tweets from Twitter

There’s no official way to delete all of your tweets in the X app or website. But there’s a popular third-party tool I discovered called Redact. It lets you delete your post history on Twitter as well as on other platforms, including Spotify, Quora, Slack, and Yelp. Best part is that it’s available for Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux and most of the features are free to use. So, let’s see how we can use Redact to delete all tweets from X.

1. Download the Redact app on your preferred platform.
2. Open the app, select Twitter and then sign in to your Twitter account.
3. Once signed in, select the Delete Tweets > Next.
4. Choose your preferences for deleting your post history.
5. In the Date range, select Absolute Date and All time to delete all of your X posts. The tap on Next at the bottom right.

6. Now choose your desired option from Preview Mode, Deletion Mode, Preview & Select Mode. This lets you see a preview of your tweets to see which ones will be deleted. We recommend you go with Preview & Select Mode.
7. Turn on the Terms of Service toggle and hit Start Redacting. On an iPhone, you’ll have to tap on Continue to confirm.
8. Select the tweets and tap Delete items to wipe them from your timeline.

Make sure to have the app running in the foreground for as long as it takes to fetch and erase all your posts. You can download the Redact app on your device using the links below:
