How to Delete All Tweets on X (Twitter) in 2026 — Free, 5-Minute Setup

X gives you one delete button per tweet. No "select all," no bulk action. If you have 500 tweets that's tedious. If you have 50,000, it's days of non-stop clicking.

This guide covers every method to bulk delete all your tweets in 2026 — starting with the fastest one, which doesn't require downloading an archive anymore.

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," no bulk delete option, no API trick that x.com itself exposes to you.

The X API does let third-party tools delete tweets in batches — but the API only returns your most recent ~3,200 tweets. For most accounts, that's plenty: under 3,200 lifetime tweets and you skip the archive entirely. Over 3,200 and you'll need to download your Twitter data archive to reach the older ones.

Method 1: Delete All Tweets With XWipe (Recommended)

XWipe handles bulk deletion in two flows. Quick Delete (default) fetches your most recent tweets directly from the X API in 20-30 seconds — no archive, no waiting. Archive upload covers tweets older than 3,200 if you need them. Here's the Quick Delete path:

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. Pick your tweets — XWipe fetches up to 3,200 of your most recent tweets directly from the X API in about 20-30 seconds. You see them in the dashboard, pick what to delete, optionally filter by date or keyword.
3. Hit Delete — Click delete and the worker starts processing. Have more than 3,200 lifetime tweets? Upload your archive .zip on the Archive page to reach the older ones.
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.

Ten deletions are free, so you can prove the flow works before paying. After that the packs are $4 for 100, $15 for 500, $49 for 2,000 and $99 for 5,000. You buy them once and they never expire. Any paid balance pulls up to 3,200 tweets without an archive.

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.

If that timeline does not fit your week, you can pay someone to delete all your tweets instead from $99.

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.
