How to Erase Tweets, Retweets, Likes, Follows & Bookmarks on X

XWipe deletes all five content types — tweets, retweets, likes, follows, and bookmarks (plus DMs) — from a single tool, starting at $2 for 100 deletions with no subscription.

Most deletion tools handle tweets and call it a day. But a real cleanup is messier than that. Your likes say something. So do the accounts you follow, the threads you bookmarked, and the DMs you'd rather not explain. Erasing only your tweets leaves the rest of your footprint sitting there.

This guide covers how to clear every content type on X in one place, how long it takes, how to reach posts going back years, and which plan fits your cleanup.

One tool for every content type

X spreads your history across six different content types, and most tools only touch one or two. XWipe does all of them.

(Support as of June 2026.) The point is that you don't bounce between three tools and two subscriptions to clean one account. Pick what you want gone, run it, done.

How fast can you erase everything?

Here's the honest constraint: X limits every deletion tool to about 50 actions per 15 minutes — roughly 4,800 a day (as of June 2026). XWipe can't beat that, and neither can anyone else. It's an X rule, not a tool feature.

The good news: you don't sit and watch. XWipe loads your recent posts fast — up to 3,200 in 20 to 30 seconds — then deletes in the background. Close the tab. Come back tomorrow. The job keeps going. Anyone promising to erase a huge account "in minutes" is bending the truth — loading is fast; deleting is paced by X.

Reaching posts from years back

X's API only shows any tool your most recent 3,200 posts. That's enough for a recent tidy-up, but not for years of history.

To reach further back — including posts from 2012 — you upload your X data archive. The archive holds every tweet ID you've ever posted, so XWipe can use it to delete your full history, not just the recent 3,200 (as of June 2026).

If you're wiping everything, back up that archive first. It's your only permanent copy once the deletions run, and it's the same file that powers the deepest wipe.

Which plan fits your cleanup?

XWipe is pay-for-what-you-need, not a subscription you forget to cancel. All prices as of June 2026.

If you're not sure how much you have, start with $2 and 100 deletions. You'll see the pace, confirm it's working, and scale up only if you need to.

Step by step: erase everything

1. Back up first. Download your X archive from Settings → Your account → Download an archive of your data. Wait up to 24 hours for it to be ready.
2. Connect XWipe to your X account at getxwipe.com.
3. Choose your content types — tweets, retweets, likes, follows, bookmarks, DMs, or all of them.
4. For recent posts, run Quick Delete. For your full history, upload the archive you backed up.
5. Let it run. Deletions process in the background at X's pace. Close the tab and check back.

The bottom line

A real X cleanup means tweets and likes and follows and bookmarks and DMs. XWipe does all of it from one place, starts at $2, and skips the subscription. The only thing it can't speed up is X's rate limit — and no tool can.
