How to Bulk Delete Twitter Likes on X (2026 Free Guide)
TL;DR
- Sign in at getxwipe.com with X OAuth.
- Upload your Twitter archive if you have 3,200+ likes (otherwise skip).
- Pick "Likes," hit Start, close the tab. Done.
Setup is ~5 minutes. The actual unliking runs in the background — for 10k likes that's ~2 days, but you don't have to babysit it.
Your liked tab on X is a public log of every tweet you've ever tapped a heart on. Old likes get screenshotted, dragged into pile-ons, and quoted back at you years later. There's no "clear all likes" button on X itself — so if you want to wipe the slate, you need a bulk deleter.
This guide covers every method to bulk delete your Twitter likes in 2026, including how to reach likes older than the 3,200-tweet API ceiling using your data archive.
Why X Won't Let You Bulk Unlike From the App
X's interface only lets you unlike one tweet at a time, and you have to click through to the tweet itself first. There's no select-all, no bulk action, and no setting that hides your likes retroactively. On top of that, the X API caps like history at roughly your most recent 3,200 — so a tool without archive support will quietly leave older likes alive.
Method 1: Bulk Delete Likes With XWipe
XWipe handles likes the same way it handles tweets — via the official X API plus archive support for the deep history. Steps:
- Sign in with X — Go to getxwipe.com and authenticate. OAuth 2.0 only — no password handling.
- Upload your archive (only if you have 3,200+ likes). Request it from X Settings > Your Account > Download an archive. When the .zip arrives, drag it onto the XWipe upload area.
- Pick "Likes" from the deletion options. You can optionally filter by date — for example, keep this year's likes and wipe everything older.
- Start the job — it runs in the background, automatically pacing itself against X's rate limits. Close the tab; come back when it's done.
The free tier handles 50 likes — enough to test that everything works on your account. For thousands of likes, Starter ($15/mo) covers 1,000/month, Pro ($49/mo) covers 4,000, and the $99 one-time Nuke clears up to 8,000.
Method 2: Unlike Manually (Only for Tiny Accounts)
If you only ever liked a handful of tweets, you can do it by hand:
- Go to your profile on x.com
- Tap the Likes tab
- Tap each tweet, then tap the filled heart to unlike
- Repeat — there's no shortcut
This is fine for 20 likes, miserable at 200, and impossible at 2,000. For anything beyond a quick cleanup, jump to a deleter.
Method 3: Archive-Based Deletion (For Old Likes)
X's API only returns your last ~3,200 likes. If your account is older than a couple of years, the rest are invisible to any tool unless you supply your data archive. The archive contains a file called like.js with every liked tweet ID — that's how XWipe reaches the rest.
- X Settings > Your Account > Download an archive
- Wait 24–48 hours for X to prepare it
- Download the .zip
- Upload to XWipe and select Likes
How Long Does Deleting All Likes Take?
X rate-limits like removal to roughly 50 per 15 minutes per user. Realistic timelines:
- 100 likes: ~30 minutes
- 1,000 likes: ~5 hours
- 10,000 likes: ~2 days
- 50,000 likes: ~10 days
Privacy: Why Wiping Likes Matters More Than You Think
Likes on X are public unless you switch to a protected account. Journalists, opposition researchers, and anyone with a screenshot tool can scroll your liked tab. The further back the like, the less context you have for why you tapped it — which is exactly what makes old likes a liability. Wiping them removes years of trail without changing anything about how you use the platform going forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I want to delete my Twitter likes?+
Likes on X are public by default. Anyone can scroll your liked tab and pull screenshots of years-old posts you barely remember interacting with. Wiping likes is one of the cleanest privacy moves you can make on the platform — it removes the receipts without touching your tweets, follows, or bio.
Can I delete more than 3,200 likes?+
Yes — but only if you supply your archive. The X API only exposes your most recent ~3,200 likes, so any tool that doesn't accept your archive .zip is silently capped. XWipe reads the like_history file inside your archive and deletes every liked tweet ID, no matter how old.
How long does deleting all my likes take?+
X rate-limits like deletions to roughly 50 per 15 minutes. 1,000 likes ≈ 5 hours, 10,000 ≈ 2 days, 50,000 ≈ 10 days. XWipe runs the whole job in the background, so you don't have to keep a tab open.
Will deleting likes notify the original tweet author?+
No. X doesn't send notifications when you remove a like. The action is silent on their end — the like simply disappears from your liked tab and from the tweet's like count.
Is it free?+
Yes for the first 50 likes — no credit card needed. For larger accounts, Starter ($15/mo) covers 1,000 deletions per month, Pro ($49/mo) covers 4,000, and the one-time Nuke ($99) clears up to 8,000.
Will my account get suspended for using a bulk like deleter?+
Not if the tool uses the official X API v2 with OAuth 2.0, which is exactly what XWipe does. We respect rate limits and never scrape. Tens of thousands of likes have been wiped through XWipe with zero suspensions.
