DeleteTweets
Bulk delete tweets, likes and replies privately, in your own browser
About DeleteTweets
Deleting years of tweets is a task the platform provides no tool for, and the third-party tools that fill the gap have historically required your credentials, which is a poor trade for a privacy cleanup. DeleteTweets is a Chrome and Edge extension that works inside your own browser session, so the account never leaves it and no password is handed over. It is rated 4.1 on the Chrome Web Store and has been featured by Google, which is at least some external signal in a category where trust is the main question.
The filtering is where it goes beyond a blunt purge. Content types are selected separately across tweets, retweets, replies and likes, since those accumulate at different rates and you may want to clear replies while keeping original posts. Keyword and date filters target precisely, and a whitelist protects specific content from deletion, which is the feature that makes bulk deletion safe: a decade of posts can go while the handful that matter stay. Archive ZIP import means the tool can work from your official Twitter data export rather than only from what it can see live, which reaches content the interface may no longer surface. Backups are supported.
Install the extension for Chrome or Edge and log into your account as normal; it operates within that existing session rather than asking for credentials. Choose which content types to clear, selecting among tweets, retweets, replies and likes. Apply filters by keyword and date to target what should go, and add anything you want to protect to the whitelist so it survives the process. For thorough coverage, import your Twitter archive ZIP, which lets the tool work from your complete official export rather than only from what the live interface exposes. Take a backup first, then run the cleanup, which processes locally in your browser.

For anyone whose posting history no longer matches how they want to be seen, which most commonly means people entering a job market, taking a public role, or reconsidering a decade of replies. The whitelist makes it suitable for people who want to keep specific posts rather than starting from nothing. The archive import serves anyone wanting genuinely complete removal rather than only what is visible. The local-first design makes it a materially safer choice than credential-requesting alternatives. Take the backup, because deletion cannot be undone.
