Delete Tweets

Delete-Tweets

I want to delete all my tweets without deleting my account.

This script deletes your tweets and repost from twitter without using the Twitter API, just by using the **firefox** javascript scratchpad.

Chage **YOURNAME** in the script below.

The script is quite slow but it works so far , I set some long timeout to let the DOM document to (re)load.

May be it could be much faster but I'm not a javascript guy.  

  - Open https://twitter.com/USERNAME
  - Open the Firefox Developer Tools `Firefox > Tools > Browsers Tool > Web developer Tools`. Go to the "Web Console" tab ([ https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/web_console/) )
  - paste the javascript code into the Command line intrepreter https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/web_console/the_command_line_interpreter/index.html
  - wait...
