How to Mass Delete Retweets on X (Twitter) in 2026 — Bulk & Free
Retweets pile up fast. If your timeline is cluttered with hundreds or thousands of retweets from years past, there's no built-in way to remove them in bulk. X only lets you undo retweets one at a time.
This guide shows you how to mass delete all your retweets on X (formerly Twitter) — fast and for free.
Why Can't You Bulk Delete Retweets on X?
X doesn't offer a way to select multiple retweets and remove them at once. To undo a retweet, you have to find it on your profile, click the retweet icon again, and confirm. For 500+ retweets, that's hours of tedious work.
Most tweet deleter tools also skip retweets entirely — they focus only on tweets. That's why you need a tool that specifically supports retweet deletion.
Method 1: Delete All Retweets With XWipe
XWipe supports bulk deletion of retweets as a dedicated data type. Here's how:
- Sign in at getxwipe.com with your X account
- Go to Delete and select "Retweets" as the deletion type
- Click Delete — XWipe fetches your retweets via the X API and starts removing them in the background
- Done — Check back later to see the progress. All retweets will be removed automatically.
Retweets spend the same credits as everything else. $4 buys 100, $15 buys 500, $49 buys 2,000, $99 buys 5,000. Nothing renews.
Method 2: Delete Retweets Manually on X
If you only have a few retweets to remove:
- Go to your profile on x.com
- Scroll through your timeline to find retweets (marked with the retweet icon)
- Click the green retweet icon on each post
- Select "Undo Retweet"
This is only realistic for a handful of retweets. For anything over 20-30, you'll want an automated tool.
None of these are hard, they are just long, and we can delete the reposts for you if you would rather skip the evening.
How Long Does It Take to Delete All Retweets?
The X API limits unretweet operations to about 50 per 15 minutes. Timelines:
- 50 retweets: ~15 minutes
- 500 retweets: ~2.5 hours
- 2,000 retweets: ~10 hours
- 5,000+ retweets: ~1-2 days
Can I Delete Retweets and Keep My Original Tweets?
Yes. When you select "Retweets" as the deletion type in XWipe, it only targets retweets — your original tweets, likes, bookmarks, and followers remain untouched.
What About Quote Tweets?
Quote tweets (where you added your own commentary) are treated as original tweets by the X API, not retweets. If you want to remove those too, run a separate "Tweets" deletion job with XWipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mass-deleting retweets cost?+
$4 gets you 100 retweet deletions. A bigger backlog takes a bigger pack — 500 for $15, 2,000 for $49, 5,000 for $99 — and the credits never expire. Most free tools don't touch retweets at all.
Will my original tweets be deleted when I remove retweets?+
No. Retweets and original tweets are separate data types in the X API. XWipe's 'Retweets' deletion job only touches retweets — your own tweets, likes, bookmarks, and followers are untouched.
Does X have a bulk-undo-retweet feature built in?+
No. X only lets you undo retweets one at a time by clicking the retweet icon on each post. There's no select-all or bulk option in the X UI as of 2026.
What about quote tweets — are those deleted too?+
Quote tweets are treated as original tweets by the X API, not retweets. If you want to remove them, run a separate 'Tweets' deletion job in XWipe.
How long does it take to delete thousands of retweets?+
The X API rate limit is ~50 un-retweets per 15 minutes. So 500 retweets takes ~2.5 hours, 2,000 take ~10 hours, and 5,000+ take 1-2 days. It all runs in the background — you don't have to stay on the page.
