How to Delete All Tweets at Once (Free & Fast in 2026)

Whether you have 500 tweets or 50,000, there's no built-in way to delete all tweets at once on X (formerly Twitter). You have to tap each tweet individually and confirm the deletion. For an account with years of history, that could take days of non-stop clicking.

This guide covers every method to bulk delete all your tweets in 2026 — from free tools to archive-based deletion for accounts with more than 3,200 tweets.

Why You Can't Delete All Tweets From X Directly

X's interface only lets you delete tweets one at a time. There's no "select all" or bulk delete option. On top of that, the X API only gives access to your most recent ~3,200 tweets. If you have more, a tool that just uses the API will miss your older posts.

That's why the most reliable way to delete all tweets free (or paid) involves downloading your Twitter data archive first.

Method 1: Delete All Tweets With XWipe (Recommended)

XWipe is a bulk tweet deleter built specifically for this. It connects to your X account via OAuth and handles deletion in the background. Here's how:

1. Sign in with X — Go to getxwipe.com and sign in with your X account. XWipe uses official OAuth 2.0 — it never sees your password.
2. Upload your archive (optional) — If you have more than 3,200 tweets, download your data from X Settings > Your Account > Download an archive. Upload the .zip file to XWipe to unlock your full history.
3. Choose "Tweets" and hit Delete — Select the tweet deletion type. Optionally set date filters or keywords to keep specific tweets. Click delete and the worker starts processing.
4. Wait for completion — X rate-limits deletions to ~50 per 15 minutes. XWipe handles this automatically in the background. You don't need to keep the page open.

The free tier gives you 100 deletions. For accounts with thousands of tweets, the Starter plan ($9/mo) covers 5,000/month, and Pro ($29/mo) is unlimited.

Method 2: Delete Tweets Manually (Slow but Free)

If you only have a handful of tweets, you can delete them directly on X:

1. Go to your profile on x.com
2. Click the three-dot menu (…) on a tweet
3. Select "Delete" and confirm
4. Repeat for every tweet

This works for 10-20 tweets. For anything more, it's not practical — it would take hours of clicking.

Method 3: Use Your Twitter Archive + a Deletion Tool

For accounts with more than 3,200 tweets, you must use your Twitter data archive to delete everything. Here's why: the X API only returns your last ~3,200 tweets, so any deletion tool without archive support will leave your older tweets untouched.

1. Go to X Settings > Your Account > Download an archive of your data
2. Wait for X to prepare it (takes 24-48 hours usually)
3. Download the .zip file when ready
4. Upload it to a tool like XWipe that supports archive-based deletion

The archive contains every tweet ID, so the tool can systematically delete all of them — even tweets from 10 years ago.

How Long Does It Take to Delete All Tweets?

X enforces rate limits of roughly 50 deletions per 15 minutes per user. Here are realistic timelines:

With XWipe, this runs automatically in the background — you don't need to keep any tab open.

Can I Keep Some Tweets and Delete the Rest?

Yes. XWipe lets you filter by date range (e.g., delete everything before 2024) or by keywords. This is useful if you want a fresh start but want to keep recent posts.

Is It Safe to Use a Tweet Deleter?

As long as the tool uses the official X API (not screen scraping or browser automation), it's safe. XWipe uses X API v2 with OAuth 2.0 — the same authentication method X recommends. Your tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and we never store your tweet content.
