- In “Download your Twitter data” enter your password and press Confirm to download your backup copy (a download link will be sent to your email when it is ready).
- Enter your browser and visit the web tweetdelete.net
- Check the box for accepting the terms of the website and click on the (eye-catching) green “Sign in with Twitter” button.
- You will have to give permission for it to enter your account.
- It will load a page where you can select if you want tweets that are older than a specific time (ranging from one week to one year) to be automatically deleted.
- Under this statement there is a box to check to delete all your tweets.
- Once managed, you just have to press “Activate TweetDelete”.
And ready. All your traces in the blue bird's social network will disappear and you will start from scratch with your clean account. Remember that by selecting the automatic deletion time you are giving permission to the TweetDelete service to act for you from time to time and continue deleting your tweets older than a certain date.
In case of wanting withdraw this permission, you will have to enter your account options again and in "Applications and devices" revoke access to TweetDelete.
