How to Mass Delete All Retweets on X in 2026 (Free, Bulk)

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:

  1. Sign in at getxwipe.com with your X account
  2. Go to Delete and select "Retweets" as the deletion type
  3. Click Delete — XWipe fetches your retweets via the X API and starts removing them in the background
  4. Done — Check back later to see the progress. All retweets will be removed automatically.

Retweet deletion is available on every paid plan: Starter ($15/mo, 1,000), Pro ($49/mo, 4,000), or the $99 one-time Nuke (8,000).

Method 2: Delete Retweets Manually on X

If you only have a few retweets to remove:

  1. Go to your profile on x.com
  2. Scroll through your timeline to find retweets (marked with the retweet icon)
  3. Click the green retweet icon on each post
  4. 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

Can I mass delete retweets on X for free?+

Setup is free, and the free tier covers 50 deletions to test. Bulk retweet deletion uses Starter ($15/mo, 1,000), Pro ($49/mo, 4,000), or the $99 one-time Nuke (8,000). Most free tools don't handle 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.
