It is not an exaggeration to say that Twitter has become a hostile social network over time, so know how to delete old tweets fastmay be a matter of survival. In the more than ten years that this platform has been active, its users have had time to publish content of all kinds, and the frenetic evolution of society has led many of those tweets to be totally objectionable.
To delete a tweet, we already know that we must press the three-point icon that we find on the right side of each publication and choose 'Delete tweet'.Of course, this is for one specific tweet, not for the thousands that have been released over the years and that we want to get rid of to avoid giving an unserious or professional image. If what we want is to erase all traces of one or several specific words, we can always use Twitter's advanced search function to filter those tweets that may be compromising and eliminate them.
Tweetdeleter
For all those who want to eliminate several years of activity on Twitter at the stroke of a pen, the solution can be through some external applications to the social network that do the dirty work quickly and effectively. TweetDeleter is one of the most recommended, since it allows you to choose between deleting a few tweets, deleting all our activity completely or destroying all our publications that have a certain word.
TweetDeleter is a paid service, so if we want to use it for free its scope will be much smaller. The free version will only allow us to delete five tweets each month, do five keyword searches (something we can do with the advanced search on our own) and has a profanity filter that will help us locate those tweets that can put us in a embarrassment if someone digs deep enough into our past (not necessarily with profanity, though this feature is in beta for now).
The payment methods work for monthly payments ranging from 3.99 euros to 5.99 euros per month If we use these subscriptions we can add a larger number of tweets to delete at the same time (in the most expensive there is even an option to schedule deletions).Depending on the amount of material we have to remove, we might be interested in one or the other.
How to delete all tweets
Interest in how to delete all tweets has grown over the years. Tools like TweetDeleter or TweetDelete (a similar but different application) offer this possibility, but when we go to use them we find that the number of tweets they can delete at the same time is limited, mainly for us to contract their paid subscriptions, which offer a Best service.
In the case of TweetDeleter, we have already warned that it will allow us to delete only five tweets for free, which is not worth it, since it is a task that we can do without effort. To eliminate all of them, we would have to subscribe to the 'Unlimited' mode, which costs 5.99 euros per month. TweetDelete, for its part, will be able to delete the 3,200 most recent tweets from our account once we link it.If we want it to destroy everything, we will have to pay for the Premium service, which costs 14.99 dollars (12.25 euros at current exchange rates).
If we don't want to scratch our pockets, we have four options. The first, practically ruled out as unfeasible, is to eliminate one by one, a very heavy task that very few will be willing to start. We can also make our account private, with the limitation of visibility that this implies, but it will always be better than deleting our account, the third and last alternative, much more drastic and with no turning back. If none convinces you, many people choose to keep their account under a pseudonym and create another more “professional” to show a more correct image to the world.
