Quickly and efficiently delete your entire tweet history with the help of your Twitter archive without worrying about the pointless 3200 tweet limit imposed by Twitter.

Overview

Twitter Nuke

Quickly and efficiently delete your entire tweet history with the help of your Twitter archive without worrying about the puny and pointless 3200 tweet limit imposed by Twitter.

About

The script uses multithreading to speed up the deletion process by simultaneously running multiple instances of the Twitter API. By utilising this modification the speed can be improved upto ~50-60 times the single threaded performance (~1 tweet per sec).

Features

  • Set the number of likes and retweets as threshold above which the tweets will not be deleted.
  • Set the batch size for threads
  • Your deleted tweets and skipped tweets will be outputted in corresponding files.

Usage

  • Download your Twitter data by following these steps.
  • Edit the script with your Twitter API tokens and your preferences.
  • Run it in your terminal using python3 deleter-script.py

(Note: Post September 2020, due to the high-profile Twitter attack of July 2020, the Twitter data might take anywhere from 24 hours to 4 days to be generated. Keep this in mind.)

Caution

This script will delete all of your tweets and the action cannot be reversed. The script DOES NOT ask for your confirmation before executing the delete command. Run this script only if you are absolutely sure about it. The creator is not responsible for any loss in data and all the liabilities are held by the person running this script.

    'charmap' codec can't decode js_file

    Hello! I got here from your Reddit's post

    I'm trying to take advantage of the great work you've done but it seems that there is an error processing the twitter.json file

    I've tried using different encoding options but code will crash later

    image

    The error I get: ----> 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 7163: character maps to

    I wish I could fix the problem myself but I am new to Python and don't have much experience with json files and encoding

    Regards, Juan

    Various corrections

    Aside from typos in README, corrected wrong js file name in script (at least in my archive it is tweets.js, not tweet.js) and output files for deleted and skipped tweets opened in append, instead of write, mode. Broken and unneeded requirement removed.

    Unmaintained and may not work

    This project seems to be unmaintained and out of the box did not work for me, including typos in the instructions as pointed out in other issues. I created a much simpler, albeit less robust, NodeJS script including step-by-step instructions for obtaining all keys/tokens, which you may find useful:

    ERROR: ---Read-only application cannot POST.

    Getting the following error when I run the script. I think everything else is setup correctly.

    I'm using Terminal on macOS Big Sur.

    Any ideas?
