With this script, you can remove all retweets you are retweeted on Twitter.

twitter-remove-retweets.js

const timer = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms));

// Unretweet normally
const unretweetTweet = async (tweet) => {
      await tweet.querySelector('[data-testid="unretweet"]').click();
      await timer(250);
      await document.querySelector('[data-testid="unretweetConfirm"]').click();
      console.log('****// Unretweeted Successfully //****')
}

// Sometimes twitter shows your retweet but green retweet button is invisible and therefore you need to retweet again for make unreweet. This function is for that.
const unretweetUnretweetedTweet = async (tweet) => {
      await tweet.querySelector('[data-testid="retweet"]').click();
      await timer(250);
      await document.querySelector('[data-testid="retweetConfirm"]').click();
      console.log('****// Retweeted Successfully //****')
      await timer(250);
      unretweetTweet(tweet);
}

setInterval(async () =>
{
      // Get all tweets
      const retweetedTweetList = document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="socialContext"]');
      console.log('****// Retweeted Tweet List Collected //****')
      for (const retweet of retweetedTweetList) {
            const tweetWrapper = retweet.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement;
            tweetWrapper.scrollIntoView();
            
            const isRetweeted = tweetWrapper.querySelector('[data-testid="unretweet"]');
            if (isRetweeted) {
                  console.log('****// Green Retweet Button Found - Starting "unretweetTweet" process //****')
                  await unretweetTweet(tweetWrapper);

Is there a way to make this delete retweets only within a specific time period? For example from June 2022 to December 2021?

worked fine for me

DAMN! APRIL 29TH AND IT'S STILL WORKING! THANKS BRO! IT JUST DELETED ALL OF MY 7K TWEETS! But there's only problem the number of my tweets which seems above the page still same. Its shown like 7K tweets.

not working i got undefined

can you please tell me how to use this and how can i tell if its working?

Here's the steps:

1. Open your twitter profile
2. Switch retweets tab
3. Open your browser devtools (Pressing F12)
4. Click the console tab
5. Paste the code into console and wait

The script begins after 60 second.

not working i got undefined for first and uncaught error for second one please help

bro i got undefined in browser please help me out

This is a terrific idea, but I'm not sure I've got it working. It's throwing a few errors that might be, in light of the new ownership, to do with Twitter itself! Has anyone else got it working recently? It'd be great if someone could update! Cheers

Confirmed working as of June 26, 2022

29.06.2023 still works. Thanks.

I got the next message

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'click')
at unretweetTweet (:7:74)
at async :33:19

what does it mean? and how to fix? @antlionguard

not working for me too

This code does the same but you dont have to wait.

// Start the process initially

no. i added delay for preventing to rate limit.

Worked for me ♥
2023

Wait, so all the content is gone, but why is the number still there?

@antlionguard , @Bossman556 please would you mind to make this script as chrome addons extension but with popup read and show every thing as showing in console? please

this is working. thank you!

Didnt work :(

not working

any code for removing retweets from account that blocked you?

any code for removing retweets from account that blocked you?

I also need

Script not working on July 3rd, 2024.

const isRetweeted = tweetWrapper.querySelector('div[data-testid="unretweet"]') has value Null.

@ElPelado619 @iAjityadav @mainleblanc fixed now

It's working but slow !
take pause & start again.

Thank you.

Any way to fix it?

The above code should be simplified to the following. I'm using this to remove unwanted retweets but not retweets my own tweets.

setInterval(
    function() {
        document.querySelector('[data-testid="unretweet"]').click()
        document.querySelector('[data-testid="unretweetConfirm"]').click()
    },
    500
)

Reference: https://gist.github.com/martgil/ddd7da50712105777029bbacb5123265

as of 2025 this script does not work.

I have updated it to use button instead of div for unretweet test id as following and confirmed it works:

const timer = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms));

const unretweetTweet = async (tweet) => {
try {
await tweet.querySelector('button[data-testid="unretweet"]').click();
await timer(250);
await document.querySelector('div[data-testid="unretweetConfirm"]').click();
console.log('// Unretweeted Successfully //');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during unretweet:', error);
}
};

const unretweetUnretweetedTweet = async (tweet) => {
try {
await tweet.querySelector('div[data-testid="retweet"]').click();
await timer(250);
await document.querySelector('div[data-testid="retweetConfirm"]').click();
console.log('// Retweeted Successfully //');
await timer(250);
unretweetTweet(tweet);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during unretweetUnretweetedTweet:', error);
}
};

const processTweets = async () => {
const retweetedTweetList = document.querySelectorAll('span[data-testid="socialContext"]');
console.log('// Retweeted Tweet List Collected //');

for (const retweet of retweetedTweetList) {
const tweetWrapper = retweet.closest('[data-testid="tweet"]');
tweetWrapper.scrollIntoView();

const isRetweeted = tweetWrapper.querySelector('button[data-testid="unretweet"]');
if (isRetweeted) {
  console.log('****// Green Retweet Button Found - Starting "unretweetTweet" process //****');
  await unretweetTweet(tweetWrapper);
} else {
  console.log('****// Green Retweet Button Not Found - Starting "unretweetUnretweetedTweet" process //****');
  await unretweetUnretweetedTweet(tweetWrapper);
}
await timer(2000);

}
console.log('// List Completed //');
console.log('// Scrolling //');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
console.log(' ');
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);

// Call processTweets again using requestAnimationFrame to keep the loop going
requestAnimationFrame(processTweets);
};

// Start the process initially
processTweets();
