Your X / Twitter posts, comments, quotes and reposts can make up a large portion of your digital footprint. Leaving your Twitter account history unmanaged can lead to reputational harm in your professional and personal life.

If you’re a creator or public figure, it’s even more likely your old content will surface in unwanted ways. There’s a range of additional reasons anyone should consider bulk deleting Twitter / X content.

The process of finding, reviewing, and manually deleting all of your old posts on Twitter / X is tedious and difficult. Not only do you need to scroll through multiple pages of content, read them, and delete them one by one, but you may also find yourself needing to wait for Twitter’s cache to reset if you have a long account history.

The good news? With Redact, you don’t have to go through them one by one. Instead, you can bulk delete everything you’ve posted on Twitter/X at once.

How to Wipe Your Twitter / X Account History in Seconds 

1. Download and run redact.dev – our app can delete all your tweets for free, quickly and with your privacy in mind (we don’t see or share any of your personal data or informational about your deletion).

Just head to our website, and hit the download button in the top right, or click here!

2. Select the type or types of content you want to delete. You can select any combination of:

• Tweets / posts
• Retweets / reposts
• Likes
• Messages

3. Choose your time range for bulk deletion. You can choose from:

• Bulk deleting all of your content – just select All time to Now
• Manually choosing a start date and end date for your deletion
• Selecting a date range between weeks and months

4. Select Deletion Mode and click Start Deleting

Once you’ve chosen what Twitter / X content you want to bulk delete, you can select from a variety of deletion modes.

• Preview Mode – based on your settings, review all matching pieces of Twitter content. If you want to mass-delete everything on X at once, we recommend running a quick preview to make sure there’s nothing you want to keep.
• Deletion Mode – this option will delete everything on Twitter that matches your criteria at once. Use this once you’re happy with your filters and want to wipe everything.
• Select & Delete Mode – This option provides you with a list of all posts, reposts, likes, or messages that match your description, and gives you tools to quickly select and delete content. You can review the list and delete posts individually with one click, or you can select multiple items before deleting them all at once.
• Schedule Deletion Mode – this allows you to create an automated deletion which repeats as often as you want it to! Once you’ve got your digital footprint under control, we recommend using this feature to keep it that way.

That’s it – no scrolling, no old poorly-aged posts, comments or messages. Just a fresh Twitter / X account! 

Why You Should Delete Your Old Tweets in 2025

There are a variety of compelling reasons why you might want to delete your twitter account history. From prevention, to improving job prospects, to preventing X from training AI models on your content;

1. Prevent Unwanted Posts from Resurfacing

A decade-old tweet might misrepresent who you are today, but that won’t prevent someone from discovering and sharing it. Such resurrections can significantly impact your personal and professional reputation.

2. Employers and Clients Are Actively Screening Your Twitter/X Profile

Studies show that 76% of employers use social media to screen candidates. Your historical posts could cost you opportunities before you even get a chance to interview. For creators and public figures – your profile is critical to your ability to monetize; not managing your digital footprint could result in lost sponsorship deals or unwanted controversy.

3. Protect Your Digital Privacy and Footprint

Old tweets often contain more personal information than users realize, including locations, opinions, and past activities. This information can create a detailed profile that potentially exposes users to privacy and security risks – cybersecurity experts warn that such data could be exploited by malicious actors for targeted scams or identity theft.

4. Twitter / X Sells Your Data, and Uses it to Train AI Models

Recent changes to Twitter/X’s Terms of Service now give the platform more rights over your content, including the ability to train AI models with your tweets. The risk of allowing this is far-ranging, and not currently clear. An AI model may one day be able to provide a detailed report on you based on your public Twitter / X account activity. If you’re a creator, it could mean your intellectual property is devalued as AI models are trained to replicate your work.

The Solution: Mass Deletion and Digital Footprint Management

Luckily, the solution to all of these problems is the same – mass delete your Twitter posts, quotes, likes, and more. Regularly review you profiles, and avoid keeping content online for longer than necessary. Redact.dev makes this process easy, giving you the most comprehensive bulk deletion tools to manage your digital footprint.
