| This script will delete all of the tweets in the specified account. | |
| You may need to hit the "more" button on the bottom of your twitter profile | |
| page every now and then as the script runs, this is due to a bug in twitter. | |
| You will need to get a consumer key and consumer secret token to use this | |
| script, you can do so by registering a twitter application at https://dev.twitter.com/apps | |

I've tried this, and the forked version of this, and neither deletes any of my tweets. At least this version tells me that it cannot for about 28 instances, each followed by an 18-digit number, each beginning with 80xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Any idea what's wrong and what to do to correct it?
I provided a secret key ,cunsomer key and verification code. But I don't how to run this script, Specialy I don't know where spread verification code.
Hey, if you are till looking for a script to delete all tweets you can check this one out : https://github.com/volshebnikRAJ/tweepy-api
For those who want to delete older tweets, not available though the API, the following script uses tweet ids from a previously downloaded twitter archive : https://gist.github.com/flesueur/bcb2d9185b64c5191915d860ad19f23f
Here's a much more simple and easy way to delete tweets
https://gitlab.com/actualdragon/nuketweets
Download your tweet archive. Take the tweets.csv file and delete the tweets you want to keep or copy their ids and put them in the tweets_to_keep environment variable.
run script. nuke your tweets.

set the number of days to 0 in my repo. after you got your auth set up just run it and you'll be good (not for likes though, but see my readme for that).

Hi!, I want to delete all my tweets. I do all instructions on your repo and get my auth to set up. But, after running it, my tweets it's still the same / not deleted.
Are there any specific settings when creating the API? Such as Permissions? cause, I only see permission to read and write, not to delete tweets.

still working ? i need to do this on my tiwtter archive
Use this free plugin, it will automatically erase them.
Twitter or X: Delete all tweets free – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
That extension has been removed.
Getting same problem which @argelouski reported. Account shows 8K tweets, none in the main timeline but all are there in "Replies" and "Media".
One approach would be to download your complete Twitter archive, extract tweet IDs from them and delete those.
