Twitter archive cleanup

Clean your full Twitter archive
- not just the recent feed.

X usually exposes only a recent timeline window to tools. DeleteTweets Archive mode lets you import your official archive ZIP so you can find and delete older tweets from your full history.

  • Import the official archive ZIP from X / Twitter.
  • Reach older tweets that are not visible in the recent feed.
  • Back up and filter before a large archive cleanup.

For histories older than the recent timeline

Archive cleanup is for people who need to delete tweets from years ago, not just the items that x.com currently loads in the live timeline.

Wipe years of old tweets

Use archive data to locate older posts and remove them from your account.

Remove tweets the live feed will not show

The archive helps you target older history after the recent timeline window ends.

Keep records before deleting

Back up or export records before removing large sections of history.

Twitter archive deletion FAQ

Answers for full-history cleanup with your X archive ZIP.

Where do I download my Twitter archive?

Request your X data archive from X account settings. X may take a few days to prepare the ZIP.

Does archive mode delete from my real account?

Yes. The archive helps identify older items, and DeleteTweets then removes selected items from the signed-in account.

How long does archive cleanup take?

It depends on archive size, filters and X rate limits. Keep the browser and computer awake while it runs.

Can I keep a backup?

Yes. Back up and export records before large archive deletion runs.
