How to use

1. Use Chrome to login to twitter - do any 2FA you need in browser.
2. Edit the TWITTER_PROFILE_USERNAME to your Twitter user name (what's in your profile URL).
3. Edit the CHROME_PROFILE_PATH to your current system OS user's google chrome userdata path.
4. Run multiple times until all the tweets are removed. (Edit $replies = to false and repeat).
