tweet-del
Delete your tweets using a simple script written in Golang.
Step 1: Create a personal backup of all your tweets
In order to delete all your tweets, you need to get a backup of your data first. Twitter allows you to easily export all of your past tweets into a .js file which you need for the next steps.
Navigate to the “Your Twitter Data” section on Twitter's settings page. You'll receive a .zip file by mail from Twitter.
Step 2: Unzip the file
Copy the tweets.js (from the data directory) into the folder of this script.
Step 3: Renaming & Formatting
Rename the file from tweet.js to tweet.json. Open it using your favorite editor and remove the string window.YTD.tweet.part0 = . Save the file.
Step 4: Create Twitter API keys
Go to the Twitter Developer page and Create an app. If you're not familiar with the concept of creating a developer account on Twitter or how to create an app, please follow the Twitter Docs.
Step 5: Copy the keys
Copy the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token and Access Token Secret Key. Paste it into ConsumerKey, ConsumerSecret, AccessToken and AccessTokenSecret in the main.go file.
Step 6: Define the date range
In the main.go file, set the values for DateFrom and DateFrom
Step 7: Build and run the script
Open your terminal, navigate to the folder of this script and build the script:
go build main.go
Afterwards, run the script (like this on MacOS):
./tweet-del
