Delete X account or delete X posts?

X account deletion starts with deactivation. X describes deactivation as the first step toward permanent account deletion, with a 30-day window before the account is deleted if you do not log back in.

That path is best when you want to leave X entirely, release the profile from public view, and accept that you may lose access to older posts after the account is deleted.

If you want to keep your handle, profile, followers, or future posting ability, post cleanup is the better fit. You can remove old tweets, replies, reposts, likes, DMs, or archive-based tweet IDs without closing the account.

DeleteX is built for this second path: preview the cleanup, filter it, confirm the scope, and keep an activity record after the run.

Choose account deactivation when the whole profile should go away. Choose DeleteX when the account should stay live but older history should be reduced, separated, or scheduled for cleanup.

For sensitive cleanup, start with a small date range or a single target such as replies or reposts. Review the preview before confirming anything permanent.
