TweetXer
You can use this script to delete all your Tweets. Even if they don't show up on your profile. But you need your Data Export for it to work.
Because this automates the deletion, it may get your account banned. Not that bad. Copies of your Tweets may still exist on backups and so on.
# Usage
1. Log into your Twitter account
2. Open the browser console (F12)
3. Paste the whole script into the console and press enter
4. A light blue bar appears at the top of the window
5. Use the file picker to select your tweet-headers.js or tweets.js file
6. Wait a long time for all your Tweets to vanish
If the process is interrupted at any time, you can enter how many Tweets have been deleted in the previous run to not start at zero again.
# How it works
Never use something like this from an untrusted source. The script intercepts requests from your browser to Twitter and replaces the Tweet-IDs
with IDs from your tweets.js file. This allows it to access the old Tweets and delete them.
XHR interception inspired by https://github.com/ttodua/Tamper-Request-Javascript-Tool
Faster deletion inspired by https://github.com/Lyfhael/DeleteTweets
