If you have a Twitter account, you may feel the need to clean your timeline, to delete SEVERAL tweets (for instance, when you get a new job). Or maybe you just want to delete ALL your tweets, because you want a change of your Twitter direction.
I have been looking the last days for a way to do the latter. I have tried several online webs and Chrome plug-ins and I have to say that they did not work at all, or they did so slowly or with constant failures that it made almost impossible to use them.
But in the end I found the solution to do it in a more than reasonable speed and without any failures.
And this was thanks to Twitter Archive Eraser, which can be downloaded here.
The steps to delete several or all your tweets are simple:
0. Before deleting your tweets, you need to download your Twitter archive. Here you will find an explanation, but basicly you have to go to your "Settings" in Twitter and click on the button "Request Your Archive". You should receive and e-mail with the link to download your Archive.
1. Download and install the program from the website.
2. Authorize the program to access your Twitter account.
3. Click on "Delete your tweets".
4. Load your Twitter Arhive. You just have to click on "Load/Add your Twitter archive files", and select the downloaded Zip file.
5. Click "Select all". You don't need to wait until your tweets appear on the screen (you can select more accurately later), just click on "Next".
6. Select the tweets you want to delete. You can select all. You can filter by word, or by date, or just select all.
7. Click on "Erase selected tweets".
