You can just submit this " tweets.js" file with our upload form instead of the whole archive, and we'll process it to get a full list of your tweets in exactly the same way. This file is called " tweets.js" and it can be found inside the "data" folder in your archive. Most of this is not needed by our service, so instead of submitting your whole archive, you can instead just grab one specific file from inside it that contains a list of your tweets.
zip file you download from Twitter contains many different files related to your Twitter account, so it can sometimes be larger than our 1GB file upload limit.
If you've deleted a lot of content, it can take a few hours for the tweet counter on Twitter's site to catch up and show the correct value. You can check the result later on the "Tasks" page. You don't have to keep our site open, your deletion task will run to completion regardless. If you have a large number of tweets, it can take us many hours to delete them (a rough estimate is about 15,000 per hour). Deleting everything using an uploaded data file often still won't return your tweet counter to zero due to this quirk with certain retweets. You should submit a data file obtained recently, otherwise it won't contain an accurate list of your current tweets. Please be very careful to also specify your tweet age and keyword settings correctly, as this mode is capable of deleting very large numbers of tweets. Just pick your file in the "Tweet data source" field. You can now fill in the form on the Tweets page as usual to delete extra tweets using your data file. You can either drag the file into the lower box on the page, or click/tap the box to open a file browser where you can pick it.Īfter uploading the data file successfully you'll see some extra information such as the number of tweets the file contained details of. Once you have your Twitter data file, you need to submit it to our service using our Upload page. Twitter data files can sometimes be very large (they also contain all the media you've ever posted) so we suggest doing this on an unmetered internet connection. Once it's ready they will send you an email link or a push notification allowing you to download it to your device. It will take some time for Twitter to prepare your file (typically about 24 hours). If there are two such buttons, use the one labelled "Twitter". After verifying your identity, press the "Request data" button. Twitter may ask you to confirm your password and complete identity verification steps such as entering a code sent to your account email address or phone number. From the "Your account" section of the settings, pick the "Download an archive of your data" option (screenshot below).
Open Twitter's settings page by clicking the "more" icon in the navigation bar, and then selecting "Settings and privacy" from the menu. Before starting it's best to make sure your Twitter account information such as email address and phone number is up to date, since Twitter might need to use those to verify your identity when requesting a data file.
This option is in a different place on some platforms, so please refer to Twitter's own step-by-step instructions if needed (click the circle above them that corresponds to your platform).
