TwitWipe deletes all your tweets in one go.
Why the fuck would I want to do that?
TwitWipe is a tool to wipe or delete all your tweets in one go. You may need to do this to start over, to clean it out before handing the account over to another party, or whatever.
Why not just delete the account and create a new one?
Doing so will create a new user id (the numeric id). It's essentially a separate account. Using TwitWipe lets you keep all your authentication and third aparty app connections active, so you don't need to sign in to different sites all over again!
How long does it take?
If you’ve got a lot of tweets (like my 22,000+), this can take a really long time. Add to that the Twitter API limitation (currently 150 per hour) which will allow for a maximum of 30,000 statuses to be deleted per hour. If I TwitWipe my account, it should take a little under an hour! But I'm not known for my math skills, so...
If you get disconnected or any other interruption occurs, you can simply come back here and start wiping again. TwitWipe will delete whatever is remaining.
Is there a way to get them all back?
What is this, a "Get your ex back" scam website? Nope. You can't get your tweets back. Not right now. Once TwitWipe has deleted the tweets, they’re gone for good.
What else can TwitWipe do?
Nothing else for now.
You need to grant TwitWipe access to your Twitter account.
Still fixing some bugs. Hold on!
How do I use TwitWipe?
First, you need to sign in using Twitter. After that, you’ll get a “TwitWipe this account” button and a confirmition and disclaimer and all that yada yada. All the action happens in the white box above this.
About signing in: TwitWipe uses oAuth, so you don’t need to give out your password for this to happen. Although it’s very unlikely that you’d have to worry about even if it did ask you for the password, because it is, you know, deleting all your tweets! What’s the worst that could happen?
And all this is free?
Yup. But you're always welcome to...
