ShredTweets

How ShredTweets works

ShredTweets uses your X archive as the map and your browser as the engine.

1No endless scrolling. No archive upload.

How it works

The archive is the map.

Your X archive contains the IDs and dates needed to find old posts without scrolling back through years of timeline history.

  • Request your archive from X.
  • Open the archive locally in ShredTweets.
  • Review the queue and keep a backup.
  • Delete online posts through your browser session.

Step 1. Download your X archive

X lets you request a downloadable archive of your account data. That file becomes the cleanup map.

Step 2. Read it locally

The extension reads the archive in your browser. Your archive is not uploaded to ShredTweets.

Step 3. Build a cleanup queue

ShredTweets turns post IDs into a queue for posts, replies, reposts, and media posts that your account can remove.

Step 4. Delete through your browser

The extension visits the relevant X pages and automates the delete actions your logged-in account is allowed to perform.

FAQ

Does this use the X API?

The intended model is browser-based cleanup and local archive parsing, not paid API access.

Why not just scroll?

Scrolling is fragile and slow. Archive mode gives the tool specific post IDs to work from.

Can the extension run while I do something else?

The beta should support pause, resume, and retry, but browser automation needs the X session available.
