🧼 Delete Your Tweets, Retweets & Likes Without Installing Anything
Alright. So sometimes you just want to clean house on Twitter. Not delete your whole account or go full digital detox. Just quietly remove some old tweets, un-retweet some stuff, maybe clean out your likes.
You know, like a vibe reset.
The problem is, Twitter doesn’t make that easy. There’s no bulk unlike or tweet deletion tool, and the third-party apps that offer it usually want full access to your account. That didn’t sit right with us.
So we made a little script.
You can run it directly in Chrome, no installs, no logins, no weird extensions. And it’ll quietly start unliking, un-retweeting, and deleting your tweets while scrolling your profile for you.
And now? It’s even smart enough to pause when it hits Twitter’s action limit or when it sees those “try again later” warnings.
☕ What this script actually does
It works right inside your browser and mimics the clicks you’d normally do by hand. Here’s what it handles:
💔 Unlikes tweets you’ve previously liked
🔁 Un-retweets any tweets you’ve shared
🗑️ Deletes your original tweets (not retweets)
⏬ Scrolls the page automatically so it keeps finding more stuff
🧠 Pauses after 50 actions to avoid rate limits
👀 Watches for rate-limit messages in the UI and pauses if needed
This is 100% local. It doesn’t send data anywhere, doesn’t log in to your account.
🛠️ How to use it in Chrome
1. Go to your Twitter profile
Head to your own profile page. Where all your tweets, retweets, and likes are shown.
2. Open the Console
Right-click anywhere on the page, click Inspect, then click the Console tab.
3. If Chrome blocks pasting code
Type this into the console first and hit Enter:
allow pasting
That just tells Chrome you’re cool with pasting code.
4. Paste in the script
Now copy and paste the full script (below) into the console and press Enter. It’ll start doing its thing automatically scanning, clicking, scrolling, and waiting when needed.

⚠️ Quick heads-up
Twitter rate-limits around 50 actions per 15 minutes. This script auto-detects that and pauses.
You can stop the script at any time by refreshing the page.
Got a lot of tweets? Run it again later or let it chill for a bit between runs.
Why we built this
We just wanted a way to clean up our Twitter without giving some random app full access to our account. This does everything locally, safely, and quietly.
You don’t have to delete your entire account to feel fresh. Sometimes just clearing out the old stuff is enough.
If it helped, feel free to share it or bookmark it for later. And if you want an Instagram version next? Let us know, it might already be brewing.
Catch you next cleanup
