Wanna find out how to delete all your tweets at once? If you felt like that and need to clean up your profile or business profile, we will provide you some tactics on deleting all your tweets in this article.

Presume a tweet was sent years or maybe just months ago; it is no longer in context when you or someone else looks at it. When looking back at somebody’s timeline from years ago, it is impossible to say what topics were common, what the political climate was like, or what everyone was pretending to be outraged about.

Twitter is an outpouring of emotion in response to a stimulus. On the other hand, the tweets persist after the stimulus has faded; they become jokes no one else understood.

According to Pew Research center 2021 Social Media Factsheet, 46% of US adults daily check their Twitter profile.

The number of daily tweets on Twitter was estimated to be over 500 million as of the most recent official statistics. This was in 2014, and the number may have gone up since then.

Deleting tweets in bulk becomes possible with a few clicks with Circleboom

There are several points you need to consider if you consider deleting all your tweets:

  • Have you ever sent a tweet that was offensive to someone you know or a group of people? If you do not want to get in trouble down the road, delete these tweets.
  • Are you copying and pasting other people’s tweets? Those tweets should be removed if you are posting the same material on Twitter without permission.
  • Has someone else posted from your Twitter account and made a mistake? Maybe it was a coworker or a friend, and now that tweet isn’t enough? That is a good enough excuse to get rid of it.
  • Are you spreading misinformation on Twitter? If you have posted them mistakenly or retweeted or shared the info that you assumed accurate but then debunked, you need to remove all misinformation.

Twitter says that they do not have a way to uninstall Tweets in bulk, and you can only remove Tweets one at a time.

Also, they suggest that if you want to start over with your Twitter account without losing your username, the easiest way is to make a new account with a temporary username.
