Twitter archive cleanup for old tweets
Accounts with years of posts often need archive-based cleanup because recent timeline results may not show everything. DeleteX can use archive tweet IDs to help reach older X/Twitter history.
02
Upload the archive
DeleteX parses archive data so old tweet IDs can be reviewed as part of a preview-first cleanup run.
03
Confirm the archive run
Review the matched count and samples before starting deletion, then monitor progress while the run completes.

Can archive cleanup delete more than recent tweets?+
