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.
Retweet deletion is available on every paid plan: Starter ($19/mo, 500), Pro ($39/mo, 1,500), or the $49 one-time Nuke (2,500).
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.
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?+
$2 PAYG gets you 100 retweet deletions — no subscription. For bigger backlogs: Starter ($19/mo, 500), Pro ($39/mo, 1,500), or the $49 one-time Nuke (2,500). 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.
