Content Cleanup with XActions

Browser console scripts for mass-cleaning your X/Twitter account history.

Available Scripts

Search Sweep: delete everything matching a search

File: scripts/searchSweep.js (full guide: docs/search-sweep.md)

The one to reach for when the user wants "delete every reply I sent @someone", "remove all my posts mentioning X", or "delete everything I posted before 2024". X has no bulk tool for that, but its search finds the posts:

https://x.com/search?q=from%3AYOUR_HANDLE%20%40someone&src=typed_query&f=live

How to use

1. Open that search on x.com (use the Latest tab, f=live; Top ranking hides most results)
2. Open DevTools (F12) then Console
3. Paste scripts/searchSweep.js. A panel appears bottom-right, pre-filled with the query already in the address bar
4. Pick the action: Delete, Like, Repost, or Reply. Leave Dry run ON and click Start
5. Read the log, untick Dry run, start again

What to tell the user

• Delete only ever touches their own posts. Anything by another account is refused.
• It needs more than one run. X search returns a slice at a time and its index lags deletions by minutes. The script re-runs the query for several passes and remembers every id it acted on, so running it again a day later only picks up stragglers.
• Filters protect posts worth keeping: minimum age, likes/reposts ceiling, keyword exclusions, and the pinned post is always skipped.
• Deletion is permanent. Back up first with scripts/backupAccount.js.

Query building

Unlike All Posts

File: src/unlikeAllPosts.js

Mass-unlike all posts from your likes page.

How to use

1. Navigate to x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/likes
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Console
3. Paste the script → Enter

Configuration

const CONFIG = {
  maxUnlikes: Infinity,     // Set a number to limit
  minDelay: 800,            // Minimum delay between unlikes (ms)
  maxDelay: 2000,           // Maximum delay
};

Key selector

Clear All Reposts

File: src/clearAllReposts.js

Remove all retweets/reposts from your profile.

How to use

1. Navigate to x.com/YOUR_USERNAME
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Console
3. Paste the script → Enter

Key selectors

Clear All Bookmarks

File: src/clearAllBookmarks.js

Remove all saved bookmarks. Tries the built-in "Clear All" button first, falls back to individual removal.

How to use

1. Navigate to x.com/i/bookmarks
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Console
3. Paste the script → Enter

Remove Followers

File: src/removeFollowers.js

Remove specific followers without fully blocking them (soft-block technique).

Configuration

const CONFIG = {
  usersToRemove: ['username1', 'username2'],
  removeAll: false,     // Set to true to remove ALL visible followers
  maxRemovals: 50,
  dryRun: true,         // Set to false to actually remove
};

How to use

1. Navigate to x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/followers
2. Edit the usernames to remove (or set removeAll: true)
3. Set dryRun: false
4. Open DevTools (F12) → Console
5. Paste the script → Enter

Notes

• Deleting a post cannot be undone, and X search keeps listing deleted posts for a few minutes
• Unlike/unretweet operations cannot be undone — the original post remains, but your interaction is removed
• Clearing bookmarks is permanent
• Remove followers uses the "Remove this follower" option from the three-dot menu on the followers page
• All scripts include configurable delays to respect rate limits
• Progress is logged every 10 items
