How Can You Delete More than 3200 Tweets All at Once
There is a limit for deleting all the Tweets at once and that is 3200 most recent Tweets. This is because of a limit set by Twitter API for the developers to fetch only the most recent 3200 Tweets. But there is a way to delete more than 3200 Tweets all at once. But it will not be free, you will have to shell out $3.6 for a premium plan at TweetDelete website to delete more than 3200 Tweets.
If you create an archive of your Twitter data, then these third-party websites will be able to access the data past those 3200 Tweets. Once third-party sites get access to that data, it will be able to delete any number of Tweets, be it 5000 or 10,000.
So, how to create an archive of your Twitter data?
Follow these steps:
- Sign in to Twitter
- Settings and Support > Settings and privacy > Your account > Download an archive of your data
Here you will be asked to enter your password, a code will be sent to your email. Enter that code. Then click on the “Request archive” button.
Soon Twitter will send you a notification when the archive is ready for download.
Once your archive is ready, you can opt for the premium plan to begin deleting more than 3200 Tweets all at once.
Once you are done with deleting all the Tweets from your Twitter profile, remember to revoke access of these third-party websites/apps for security purposes.
If the reason to delete all of your tweets is that no one is following you and that’s making you upset, worry not as there are paid methods which you can use to buy X Followers.

What’s the catch in using third-party sites for deleting all of your Tweets
Now is the time to discuss the real catch, the drawback of using such sites.The real problem is with the access these third-party sites require to perform their task. No matter how trusting a website looks but if you share access to sensitive information, there is always a possibility of data leak. Let’s look at the access it requires from you before you can even use such websites.
The requirements highlighted in the red are the ones you just can not compromise on.
If access is given to these requirements, you will not only compromise your data but also the data of the person you were in conversation with.
With all this access, such sites can use your profile to send DMs, read, manage your DMs, Post and engage with your Tweets, Follow and unfollow users and also see your account settings.
If your Tweets are giving you a headache or might create a problem in your new employment, our suggestion is to just deactivate your Twitter account and start a new one.
