Archive cleanup

How X archive upload helps delete old tweets

If your account has years of history, the normal timeline view may not expose everything you want to delete. An X archive gives you a fuller list of tweet IDs that can power deeper cleanup.

Why archive cleanup matters

Many accounts have old tweets that sit beyond the most recent timeline window. Without archive data, those posts may be hard to find and delete in bulk.

Archive upload helps bridge that gap by using exported tweet IDs as the cleanup source.

Archive upload should still use previews

An archive can include a lot of history. That makes preview counts, samples, and final confirmation even more important.

DeleteX treats archive cleanup as a premium workflow because it can reach older posts and support larger, more complex runs.

Keep an activity trail

Large archive-based runs may take time because of X API pacing and endpoint limits. A progress view and activity log help you understand what happened.

After completion, you should be able to see deleted counts, failed counts, and whether a retry is needed.
