Delete All Bluesky Reposts FAQ
Bluesky lets you remove reposts one by one. There is no single remove all switch for your full repost history. For large archives you will need organized passes or a helper tool.
A repost shares another post as is without added text. A quote post shares it with your own comment. Removing a repost does not remove the original author’s content.
No. Removing reposts does not change who you follow, your lists, or custom feeds. Those preferences are separate.
Open Redact and choose Bluesky. Select Reposts as the target, set filters for dates, authors, keywords, link domains, and media types, run a Preview, then execute removals or save a schedule.
Filter by date ranges, authors, keywords, hashtags, media type, and link domains. Add whitelists for accounts or phrases you plan to keep.
Yes. Enable Disappearing Mode to run daily, weekly, or monthly. Redact repeats your saved filters and removes new matches automatically.
No. Reposts are separate from your originals and replies. You can clean reposts without touching other content types.
Yes. Use media and link filters to narrow the set. Combine with keywords and authors for precision.
No. Redact runs on your device and uses the minimum access required to execute actions. You can disconnect Bluesky from Redact at any time in Settings.
Start with a small Preview, approve a short Select and Delete batch, confirm results, save whitelists for accounts or phrases you want to keep, then expand to wider dates.
Redact batches actions and spaces requests to respect limits. For years of activity, run by month or by author and schedule several passes for stability and full coverage.
If you want a record of past activity, request an export or save important threads before cleanup. Store the archive offline or in encrypted storage.
Yes. Create a profile in Redact for pre screening, scan all time with strict filters, approve Select and Delete batches, then save a schedule so new reposts are handled going forward.
