This script will delete all of the tweets in a specified account.

delete_all_tweets.py

"""
This script is forked originally from Dave Jeffery. The original implementation
was very slow and deleted around 2 tweets per second. Making it multithreaded I 
am able to delete 30-50 tweets per second.

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

@requirements: Python 2.5+, Tweepy (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tweepy/1.7.1)

Excellent, I did.

How many threads will this code generate? o.O

For this to work change thread to _thread and raw_input to input if you are using Python 3

this will delete all tweets?
i used once, says that i have 35k tweets but in the timeline shows "No tweets yet"

For this to work change thread to _thread and raw_input to input if you are using Python 3

Also enclose the print texts with parentheses

i humbly suggest:
https://github.com/murdoc02/twitterwipe

For this to work change thread to _thread and raw_input to input if you are using Python 3

Also for Python 3 I had to put the PRINT in parenthesis.

Although the script ran, it Failed to Delete every single Tweet.

did you make sure to change thread to _thread where it says thread.start_new_thread?

I got it working for me after some trial and error.
