## delete-tweets.js
/*
This may get your account banned. It runs in your regular browser with your regular login without needing the API.
The script does the same things that you would do yourself:
Click the three dots, select delete Tweet, confirm, scroll to next Tweet, repeat.
==========================
Usage
1. Open your Twitter profile in a browser
2. Open the console in the developer tools (F12)
3. Paste the script and press enter
4. ???
5. Tweets are gone. (At least from your profile. They may still exist in backups.)
