Losing track of your Twitter history? Deleting tweets by date is the fastest way to clean up your profile. This guide shows you exactly how to find and remove tweets from a specific time period — no third-party tools required.
Twitter doesn't offer a native "delete by date" button. But with the right approach, you can batch-delete tweets from any date range in under 10 minutes.
The Manual Method (Free, Up to 3,200 Tweets)
- Go to your profile → "Tweets and replies"
- Scroll to the date you want to start from
- Select tweets in batches of 50 (Twitter's limit per action)
- Click "Delete" → Confirm
- Repeat until you've covered your target range
The Automation Method (For Large Batches)
If you have thousands of old tweets to remove, consider tools like Twitterscraper or TweetDeleter. These connect to your account via API and can process hundreds of deletions per minute.
Important: The 3,200-Tweet Limit
Twitter's 3,200-tweet limit means you can only see your most recent 3,200 tweets. Older tweets require third-party archives or the Twitter Data Archive tool.
