lyfhael / deletetweets Goto Github PK

Is this script meant to remove RTs, or is that a function that is not yet built in OR that has to be toggled somewhere?

Apologies if this is not the correct way to do this. It is exactly my second post on a GitHub thing. Thank you for the script, though. It is beautiful.

everything still works like a charm. thank you. but it doesn't seem to delete replies to tweets or tweet replies. only deletes tweets made to be posted on profiles...

I tried from archive and old tweets on true but nothing seems to change

Hello,

The tool looks awesome, but do you plan to add a filter in order to filter tweets with a maximum of X likes ?

When the script is run in the console, it returns with the following error:

VM173:122 Uncaught TypeError: entries is not iterable at log_tweets (<anonymous>:121:19) at <anonymous>:264:15

Below is a copy of the script as I had run it, with my own values removed:

https://pastebin.com/0F61S1LE

All of my inputs corresponded to the IDs specified in the comments. Beyond that, no changes have been made to the script. Replicated 10 times on Chromium 116.0.5845.110 on Ubuntu 22.04.

Hi, I see some other people have gotten this error but haven't seen a solution for it yet, so sorry if I just missed that (or if the solution is something obvious to people with more coding experience than me). I've tried the script in firefox and chrome on all of ubuntu, arch, and windows (updating the IDs &c in each, not just copy/pasting from one browser into another), and gotten the same "entries is not iterable" error. Just above is "VM328:119 undefined" (pointing to "console log(entries)"); "log tweets (:124:19)" is pointing at "for (let item of entries) {", and ":267:15" is pointing at "next = await log_tweets(entries);"

This is the code I'm using with identifying stuff removed; aside from copying in authorisation and IDs I also changed 'unretweet' to true and added items to 'tweets_to_ignore'

Any idea how to fix this error?

Okay. I have A LOT of tweets to erase. More than 250K tweets so my archive tweets.js are divided in at least 5 more parts, each with a size of 100M.

The thing is, the script will consistently erase only 16379 of the N tweets present on the archive since after reaching that number the Chrome tab will crash with the next message:

debugging connection was closed | reason: render process gone

I've been able to keep deleting my tweets running twitter_archive_content = twitter_archive_content.slice(0,-16378); a couple times after each crash. I think that a quick solution could be adding an option to set the number of tweets from which where to start the tweet deletion loop counter, so that one could continue from where it stopped last time. I could do a PR with the fix if needed.

PS: Thanks for the script! it works wonders and it's pretty easy to follow.

Hi!

First I want to thank you for this amazing tool because i was able to delete some 60k tweets thanks to it using the archive method. However, some 7k tweets remain untouchable. Eventually every two weeks or so some of these tweets pop up on my profile, but since it's on mobile I'm forced to delete them by hand. When I download my updated archive, these tweets and medias are showing, but after running the script it just says deletion complete without any tweets being deleted.

Is there a way I can solve this or am I forced to wait until these old tweets pop up and delete them by hand? I want to use this old account as a professional account, and I don't want to start using it if i have to check twice a day whether older tweets are showing up or not right below my newer tweets.

Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Here is the output from the console:

Checked a bunch of entries & there's no Uuid which is strange since I used the script last week.

Hi, thanks for this project.
It would be really great if one could filter the tweets to delete depending on the date. For example, being able to set a rule like «delete all the tweets older than 6 months».

Fantastic job creating the script, it works wonderfully!

However, I would really like to remove all my likes and media as well from my account, I don't see a way of enabling this in the script.

Many thanks! :)

Hello,

when i try to execute, this is what i get

Access to fetch at 'https://twitter.com/i/api/graphql/[...]_download_video_enabled%22%3Afalse%2C%22responsive_web_enhance_cards_enabled%22%3Afalse%7D' from origin 'https://x.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Thanxs

the script seems to be un-retweeting just fine but even with old tweets set to true, i'm still able to find my old posts through advanced search. i'm using archive files for this, and i also tried dropping the other files i got in my zip, to no success (depending on the file and date range set, it either catches the same set of (already deleted) retweets every time or nothing at all)

i came across another script that uses tweet-headers.js instead, but i'm hesitant to use it since it erases everything and i'd like to keep my last 2 years' worth; do you know if dropping that file into yours will work too?

Hi! thanks for this script. It worked great to delete all my tweets. I would love to do the same but to unlike all the tweets I've liked.

In async function delete_tweets, you set client language as fr. You can remind us to change it or make that string a variable that we can fill (and define widespread languages like english, french, german etc)

And good news. It works well in any chromium based browser. Just don't exceed 3750 tweets/day and no one gets banned

I have bearer in my authorization

Hi! I just want to ask what to do since every time i upload my tweets.js file, it says this

I don't see the X-Client-Uuid header anywhere.

I'm curious to hear your experience and recommended approach re: rate limiting. I hit the wall at approximately 5 mins.

My internet is fine so I am gussing your api is forbidden?
How to fix this?

hello
i started the script and it deleted all my tweets from the tweet tab
but there is still tweets from reply and media tab how do i remove them?
Thank you

It will say it went through like 2403 tweets but none of them actually get deleted. Only the non archive version deletes tweets and gets rate limited after a bit of time

followed instructions to a T, keep getting hit with a script error.

"Line: 2
Char: 52
Error: Syntax error
Code: 800A03EA
Source Microsoft JScript compilation error"

I've tried on Brave, Chrome, and Edge and have come up with the same issue. I've also updated Java.

would be nice to add the feature or new tool for delete retweets and likes

my page looks empty but it says that i still have over 4000 tweets. when i log onto another account and look at the page i can see some of the tweets and i realize that they're all replies to myself. the original tweets are gone but the rest of the threads are still there.

(fetch_tweets) Network response was not ok, retrying in 10 seconds

Hi,

This is actually not an issue but an idea. I am wondering if we can achieve the same thing to remove likes using https://twitter.com/i/api/graphql/ZYKSe-w7KEslx3JhSIk5LA/UnfavoriteTweet api.

Best regards.

Would it be possible to add an option to unlike tweets?

Thank you! And thank you for your awesome JS! It helped me a lot!

running on chrome. using a date range, with tweet exclusions, old tweets set to true. seems like it's running just fine from what i can tell, but my tweet count stays exactly the same no matter what i change.

i'm not super knowledgeable on coding so sorry if there's a really simple fix!

I was having trouble getting tweets before 2023 to delete, so enabled old_tweets along with my before_date=2023-01-01. After the script ran, pretty much all of my tweets/replies/retweets were gone (it somehow missed a few from the last couple weeks).

(Firefox)

Error occurs at VM182:32, which is the colon at

"old_tweets":false

VM368:124 Uncaught TypeError: entries is not iterable
at log_tweets (anonymous:123:19)
at anonymous:266:15

Unsure what caused this; acquired all variables as intended and nothing came of it.
Each instance of anonymous was wrapped in <>s. Unsure if this necessary information.

MIT would be awesome! Thanks :)

I'd like to keep around an "I delete tweets" pinned tweet.

In Firefox (125.0.2), the script throws the error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions, async generators and modules

Which can be resolved by wrapping the whole script in an async IIFE:
(async () => { SCRIPT_HERE })();

But doing so results in a different error:
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: navigator.userAgentData is undefined

In Safari (17.3.1), it throws:
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'sleep'

Just want to throw this out there since, in the prerequisites, you mention that you use Chrome but expect it to work elsewhere.

The script did work as expected for me in Chrome (124.0.6367.119). All of this was done on an M3 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.3.1.

with the delete tweets script , i get prompted with this after a little while with it saying "rate limit reached . waiting 1 minute" over and over again .
any way to fix this ?

hi, can you please add an option to unlike tweets too?

it should appear like this :

to get the uuid you head to application in menu :

then go to cookies (storage section) and click twitter ....:

next go to pesonal...... and copy its value :

and there you go, this is your uuid.
(it worked for me)

I would like to stop the script from running to try and save an old tweet I forgot to include. How can I do this if at all

Hi there,

Thanks for the really useful tool, but I've hit a problem where it doesn't seem to be able to remove any tweets that were made before the middle of 2018. On the console, it counts down (3) ..., (2) ..., (1)..., DELETION COMPLETE, but even though there are no errors my very old tweets remain.

I'm using the latest version of Chrome (116.0.5845.180).

Let me know what info you need from me to reproduce/debug.

Best,
-Sam

Does this script need configuration to support arabic ?

Or do i need to change the value in buildAcceptLanguageString()

I need to delete specific tweets with specific keyword from my account

appretiate the Help

Apologies for something so immensely stupid, but it's my first time with javascript.

I have followed the howto, replaced the auth token, set the settings.

Now how do I actually run this code? Do I paste it into the browser console? Or run with node.js? Or with tampermonkey?

Is there some button to load a local file in chromium?

x-client-uuid or "client_uuid" can no longer be retrieved from any file Twitter serves.
