[Recipe] Delete all your likes/favorites from Twitter

Ever wanted to delete all your likes/favorites from Twitter but only found broken/expensive tools? You are in the right place.

  1. Go to: https://twitter.com/{username}/likes
  2. Open the console and run the following JavaScript code:
setInterval(() => {
  for (const d of document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="unlike"]')) {
    d.click()
  }
  window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}, 1000)

Is there a way to have this first like, and then unlike tweets on the Likes page? The first script here left me with over 121K formerly liked tweets still counted and sitting under the Likes section. Only liking again and then unliking again fully removes them.

I'm facing this issue now too. You could possibly run the script to first go and like a few hundred tweets and then after that a script to unlike them again. Or you'd have to create a counter around document.querySelector and loop through that.

Plenty of people above having the same issue with no definitive reasoning. Could be rate limiting, could be free tier limits, could be API bug, could be something else.

This works fine for me:

setInterval(() => {
  const d = document.querySelector('div[data-testid="unlike"]')
  if(d) {
    d.click()
  } else {
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
  }
}, 1000)

Damn twitter API, these rate limits suck, how am I supposed to delete my socially incriminating twitter history if it only let's me remove 20 likes using a script before it stops letting me, twitter needs to implement an API endpoint to just remove all likes, tweets, retweets, etc. There is no way I'm gonna be able to remove thousands of likes manually lmao

It does not work for me, I also tried this script:

setInterval(() => {
const d = document.querySelector('div[data-testid="unlike"]')
if(d) {
d.click()
} else {
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}
}, 1000)

And didn't worked also ):

Is there anyone who deletes DMs chat?

It didn't work for me, so I tried waiting 100 milliseconds and it seemed to work, odd.
setInterval(() => {
for (const d of document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="unlike"]')) {
d.click()
}
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
setTimeout(pass, 100);
}, 1000)

function getAllTweetButtons() { return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.tweet-interact-favorite')); }

function wait(ms) { return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms)); }

async function processTweet(tweetButton) { tweetButton.focus(); tweetButton.click(); // Click to like (if not liked) or unlike (if liked) await wait(1000); // Reduced wait time

// Check if the tweet is still liked, if so, click again to unlike if (tweetButton.classList.contains('tweet-interact-favorited')) { tweetButton.click(); // Click again to ensure it's unliked await wait(500); // Reduced wait time console.log('Ensured tweet is unliked'); } else { console.log('Processed tweet'); } }

async function removeAll() { let count = 0; let tweetButtons = getAllTweetButtons();

while (count < 500 && tweetButtons.length > 0) { for (let i = 0; i < tweetButtons.length && count < 500; i++) { await processTweet(tweetButtons[i]); count++; if (count % 50 === 0) { console.log('Waiting to prevent rate-limiting'); await wait(15000); // Wait to prevent rate-limiting } }

// Scroll to the bottom of the page to load more tweets
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
await wait(3000); // Wait for more tweets to load
tweetButtons = getAllTweetButtons(); // Refresh the list of tweet buttons

}

console.log('Finished, count =', count); }

removeAll();

Fix for shadow likes on feed Works with Old Twitter layouts Modify the rate limiting waiting as neccessary

Im getting a Promise error when i try this
"promise {: undefined}"

In my account, I have 53 unavailable posts that exist only as a number, and as for likes, they are 66 unavailable likes, and sometimes they are 99 likes. What is the solution to make the same number 0 in the posts and likes tab? I have tried all available solutions and have been suffering from this issue for more than a year and have not found a solution?!

It takes new frontend version and use this code please

setInterval(() => {
  for (const d of document.querySelectorAll('button[data-testid="unlike"]')) {
    d.click()
  }
  window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}, 5000)

Hi, is there only ways to delete them, not download them somewhere ? I just want to ctrl+f among my 10000+ liked tweet, but it is impossible, the infinite scrool broke after 200 loaded tweets, and I think it's by design.

What did you mean by "new version of the interface"?

What is the limit on this what if you have thousands of likes? I want to start from 0.
