How to Delete All your Tweets
a day ago
- Author re-activated Facebook and decided to wipe his account content, then extended the idea to Twitter.
- Used a script to delete tweets but Twitter's API only returns the last 3,200 tweets, leaving many undeleted.
- Requested a full data archive from Twitter under GDPR, which included all tweet IDs.
- Modified the script to use the archive to delete all remaining tweets, achieving a digital detox.
- Still 25 tweets remain unaccounted for; full technical details published on GitHub Gist.
