Faster Bulk Deletion via Twitter/X Data Export

Once a timeline runs into the tens of thousands of tweets, deleting it the normal way slows to a crawl. Redact's file import mode bypasses that bottleneck.

Why large accounts delete slowly

Twitter/X enforces strict API rate limits on how fast deletions are accepted. On a very large account, live deletion can take days. Importing your data export instead skips the slow paging step entirely.

Import your data export

Request your Twitter/X data export from your account settings, wait for the archive, then drop the .zip straight into Redact. Reading your history from the export lets Redact bulk delete an order of magnitude faster. All the same filters apply: date ranges, keywords, hashtags, media attributes, and engagement ceilings. File import is a premium feature, and the obvious choice for clearing a large or long-running account.
