Delete All Your Tweets on X (Twitter) — Free Browser Script

Bulk-delete all your tweets, replies, mentions, and retweets on X (formerly Twitter) for free. No app to install, no API key, no paid service — just one script you copy and paste into your browser's developer console. It runs entirely in your browser using your own logged-in session, so nothing ever leaves your machine.

⚠️ Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Download your archive first (see below) so you keep a backup.

Features

• 🗑️ Delete all tweets, replies, and retweets in one run
• 🆓 Completely free — no subscription, no third-party service like TweetDelete or Circleboom
• 🔒 Private — no login/password required, nothing leaves your browser
• 📦 Archive mode to wipe your entire history, including tweets too old to load in the timeline
• ⏱️ Smart rate-limit handling — waits out X's limits automatically and resumes
• 🔁 Safe to re-run — already-deleted tweets are skipped

How it works

The script authenticates with the ct0 CSRF cookie already present in your logged-in session and calls X's own GraphQL mutations — DeleteTweet and DeleteRetweet — the same endpoints the website uses. This is much faster than clicking through the UI and doesn't depend on scraping the page layout.

It offers two modes:

Mode	Pick	What it does
Timeline	Cancel	Scrolls your profile page and deletes every visible tweet / reply / retweet. Quick to start, but X only renders a limited number of tweets at a time, so refresh (F5) and re-run until the profile is empty.
Archive	OK	You select your data archive's tweets.js file and every tweet in it is deleted — oldest tweets included. This is the only way to guarantee a complete wipe, since the timeline never renders your full history.

Usage

1. Log in to x.com in your browser.
2. Go to https://x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/with_replies.
3. Open the DevTools console (macOS: Cmd+Option+J, Windows/Linux: F12 → Console). Chrome may ask you to type allow pasting the first time.
4. Copy the entire contents of delete-tweets.js, paste into the console, press Enter.
5. Choose a mode in the dialog.

Stop at any time by typing STOP_DELETE = true in the console.

Automatic mode (userscript)

Prefer a "set it and forget it" cleanup? Install tweetdelete.user.js with Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. Whenever you open your own profile on x.com, it reads your tweet count and — once it crosses a threshold (default 1000) — asks whether to delete your tweets, replies, and retweets. It never deletes silently; you always confirm first.

• Runs entirely in your browser session — no stored cookies, no API key, no server.
• It only runs while you have x.com open (there is no unattended/headless mode by design: that would require storing your login token, which is a security risk and trips X's bot detection).
• Configure THRESHOLD, ONLY_HANDLES, and pacing at the top of the file.

Getting your archive (for Archive mode)

X → Settings → Your account → Download an archive of your data. It can take a few hours to prepare; when the email arrives, download and unzip it, then select data/tweets.js when the script asks.

Rate limits

X enforces deletion limits server-side, per account — they can't be bypassed by any client-side trick (headers, session rotation, VPN, etc.), and manual deletion draws from the same quota. When the limit is hit, the script reads X's x-rate-limit-reset header and waits exactly until the window resets, then resumes on its own. Just leave the tab open.

Two pacing strategies are available via the SMOOTH_PACING flag in the script:

• false (default) — delete at full speed, then wait for the window to reset. Fastest to complete.
• true — spread deletes evenly across each window so you never see a 429. Same total throughput, gentler on X's anti-abuse heuristics.

Configuration

All options live at the top of delete-tweets.js:

Option	Default	Purpose
DELETE_DELAY_MS	400	Minimum delay between delete calls.
SMOOTH_PACING	false	Pace deletions to avoid 429s (see above).
SCROLL_DELAY_MS	1500	Wait after each scroll for new tweets to load (timeline mode).
MAX_IDLE_SCROLLS	12	Stop after this many scrolls with no new tweets.
X_CLIENT_TRANSACTION_ID / X_CLIENT_UUID	''	Only needed if the API returns 404/403; grab them from a request's headers in the Network tab.

Notes

• Re-running is safe: already-deleted tweets are detected and skipped.
• Retweets in the archive are stored under their own id and removed via DeleteTweet; if any remain, a single timeline-mode pass cleans them up.
• Likes are out of scope — happy to add a likes pass if needed.
• This relies on X's current internal API. If X changes it, the query IDs or headers may need updating.

FAQ

How do I delete all my tweets at once for free? Open your profile's with_replies page on x.com, paste delete-tweets.js into the browser console, and pick timeline or archive mode. No paid tool required.

How do I delete old tweets that no longer show up? X's timeline only loads recent tweets. Use archive mode with your downloaded tweets.js file to delete your complete history, including years-old tweets.

Can I mass-delete retweets and replies too? Yes — the script removes tweets, replies (mentions), and retweets in the same run.

Is it safe / will I get banned? It uses X's own internal endpoints with your existing session and respects rate limits, so it behaves like normal usage. It only ever touches your own account. Still, use at your own risk.

Do I need the Twitter/X API or a developer account? No. The official DELETE /2/tweets endpoint is far more rate-limited; this script is faster and needs no API key.
