If you’ve had your Twitter account for a long time, there are probably many old tweets you want to delete. Angsty tweets from when you were a teen, tweets from college you may want to hide from your boss, or long rants on opinions you no longer hold could all be sources of anxiety when they’re just floating around the internet.

If you’d like to get a fresh start on your Twitter account, one way to do so is with Tweet Delete. Tweet Delete is a service that started in 2011 to allow users to delete their old tweets en masse, rather than going through and deleting them one by one – a task so time consuming that many may simply choose not to bother.

Using Tweet Delete, you can choose to delete all your tweets, or just a select few based on timestamp or content. You can choose to do this one time, or to have the action performed automatically every so often.

You can also delete your likes, or create a personal backup of your old tweets so you don’t actually lose them. This backup doesn’t allow your tweets to be reposted to Twitter – it’s just for you.

Tweet Delete can do this for free - but can only delete from your 3,200 most recent tweets, due to the way Twitter stores data. If you want to delete more, you'll have to pay for the premium version.

Regardless of how or why you're choosing to do it, though, here's how to use Tweet Delete to delete all tweets on Twitter.
