If you’re a Twitter user and want to start fresh, you may decide to delete all of your tweets. There might be some tweets that you’d like to simply erase from your account for personal or professional reasons. You know the saying, “some things are better left unsaid”? Well, if it’s on Twitter, it’s been said.
While you can delete a tweet manually, Twitter doesn’t offer a way to delete bulk tweets and is clear about thaton their Twitter Help page. So now what?
There are a few services that you can use to take care of wiping out your tweet history. We’ll show you a couple of them and let you decide which works best for you.
TweetDelete
TweetDeleteis one of the most popular tweet-deleting tools.
TweetDelete is a service that can mass delete your Twitter posts based on their age or specific text they contain. It can also run automatically on a schedule if you wish.
So head to the TweetDelete website, and sign into your Twitter account, and authorize TweetDelete. From there, you can enter the criteria for the tweets you want to delete.
Acknowledge that you’ve read the TweetDelete terms and hit theDelete my tweets!button when you’re ready.
