How to Mass Delete Twitter / X Likes

The Complete Guide to Mass Removing Your Likes
Years of likes, cleared in minutes. Four steps from download to done, whether you want the nuclear option or surgical precision.
Log Into Twitter Inside Redact
Once installed, load Redact and log into Twitter from within the Redact app. It should be noted, we DO NOT store your login data or any of your other data on our servers. Everything is stored locally on your machine.
Choose Easy or Advanced Mode
You are now looking at Redact’s Twitter homepage. In the top right corner you’ll notice a blue button that says Easy and a button next to it that says Advanced. Which mode you choose will depend on what your intentions are.
Which Mode Should You Choose?
Easy mode is for people who want to indiscriminately delete vast amounts of Twitter likes with very little filtering. On Easy mode, your only targeting options are dates or date ranges. For example: you want to delete only your likes from 2023, or only likes made between June 2025 and June 2026, or maybe only likes from last month through today.
Easy mode is also for people who want to delete every single thing they have ever liked on Twitter with no discretion, a complete full removal of your likes. The nuclear option, if you will.
Advanced mode is a whole level deeper. This mode allows you to perform precision like removals. You are presented with a wide assortment of filtering and targeting options, so you can find and remove likes down to the keyword found within the post you liked.
So: if you’re wanting a big, fast, and indiscriminate clearing of all your Twitter likes at once, keep it on Easy mode and run it. If you need to delete your likes with precision and care, switch over to Advanced mode.
Your Advanced Mode Targeting Options
These filters are all stackable, so you can choose one or more and they will work together:
- Liked tweet contains an image
- Liked tweet contains a video
- Liked tweet contains a link
- Keyword targeting: find liked tweets which contain a specific keyword(s)
- Hashtag targeting: target liked tweets that contain a specific hashtag(s)
- Engagement filter: only target liked tweets with a specific amount of likes and/or retweets
- AI Smart Filtering: a built-in AI filter where you can allow AI to scan your likes and identify likes on tweets that are offensive. Our AI mode is trained to spot potentially offensive tweets that you’ve liked in the past, and remove those likes.
Choose What to Do With the Likes You’ve Identified
At the bottom of your application you’ll notice 4 boxes:
Preview Mode
This is highly recommended, especially for new users. This gives you a preview of the likes you’re about to remove when you switch over to Deletion Mode. Think of this as a dry run for Deletion Mode. Always use Preview to take a peek at what you’re about to remove, because once you switch into Deletion Mode and push start, there is no getting those likes back.
Deletion Mode
As mentioned above, this is game time. Once you select this mode and push the start button, you’re deleting your content in real time and there’s no way to get it back. So make sure you preview it beforehand to ensure your filters and settings were done exactly how you want them.
Review & Delete
This is a bit of a hybrid between manual unliking and automated unliking. You’ll be presented with a screen showing all of your likes, and next to each like there will be a check box. This mode allows you to do a manual like removal campaign, but in a more timely manner. This is not really a feasible mode if you have 1000’s and 1000’s of likes to sort through.
Schedule Deletion
This option, as you may have guessed, allows you to set regular like removal tasks. For example, you could set Redact to scan all of your likes every Friday using AI mode to make sure you didn’t like anything offensive, and if you did, it will remove that like.
Years of likes. Gone in minutes.

Clean Up Your Twitter Profile for Peace of Mind
While Twitter likes are now private and only visible to you, there are still many reasons you might want to clean up your liked tweets. Whether you’re organizing your digital space, removing outdated content, or simply starting fresh, this guide will show you the fastest and most effective ways to mass delete your Twitter likes.
Why Delete Your Twitter Likes?
Managing your private likes is still important for a variety of reasons:
- Personal organization
- Finding saved content more easily
- Removing outdated or irrelevant content
- Starting fresh with a clean slate or helping reset your “for you” page
- Managing your digital space effectively
Your Twitter likes could reveal:
- Political leanings
- Professional interests
- Personal habits
- Content you engaged with years ago that might not reflect your current views
Even if you’re not job hunting, maintaining a clean digital footprint is crucial and can benefit a number of areas:
- Professional networking
- Personal branding
- Privacy protection
- Reducing digital clutter
What About Manual Deletion?
Unliking by hand, one at a time
3-4 HOURS PER 1,000 LIKESWhile Twitter allows you to manually unlike posts, the process can be tedious:
- Go to your Twitter profile
- Click on “Likes”
- Scroll through your liked tweets
- Click the like button again to unlike
Limitations
- Twitter’s interface only loads a limited number of likes at once
- Scrolling through years of likes can crash your browser
- No bulk selection option available
- Time-consuming and repetitive
