Suppose you want a new job and think: any boss worth his salt will be checking my social media accounts these days to investigate if I'm honest in my application. Or, suppose, you just met a perfect boy or girl and you have posted some stupid tweets about him or her in the past. Nowadays, your personal life is largely online, and sometimes you've been exposing that personal life a little bit too much.
Did you once follow some unpleasant idiot or took selfies in that showed just a little bit too much bare flesh? Have you, in the distant past, possibly posted something negative about the very same company you now want to apply for a job? If the thought of someone finding your cringe-worthy Twitter origins keeps you up at night, or if you just promised yourself that you'd clean up your act once and for all this year, don't worry.
Twitter has been around for well over a decade now, and if you scroll back long enough, you never know what they'll find.
You can wipe your potentially embarrassing past from the face of the earth, because there's TweetDelete.
TweetDelete is a free web tool that lets you mass delete your Twitter posts with age and text filters. You can also set the tool up to mass delete on a schedule.
How to get started with TweetDelete:
[1] Goto tweetdelete.net.
[2] Sign in with Twitter.
[3] Authorize app.
From there, you can delete up to 3,200 of your most recent tweets with some minor
limitations.
There are drop-down menu options to delete tweets older than one week, three months, a year, or even more. If you're looking to delete a specific topic, you can use the text field to delete tweets containing a word or phrase. Finally, you can tell TweetDelete to wipe your tweets one or every few days.
Be warned: Unless you backed up your tweets, they can't be recovered after you've deleted them.
