[Recipe] Delete all your likes/favorites from Twitter
Raw
delete-likes-from-twitter.md

Ever wanted to delete all your likes/favorites from Twitter but only found broken/expensive tools? You are in the right place.

  1. Go to: https://twitter.com/{username}/likes
  2. Open the console and run the following JavaScript code:
setInterval(() => {
  for (const d of document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="unlike"]')) {
    d.click()
  }
  window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)
}, 1000)

I want to delete likes from a suspended account, and also from an account that is private (likes don't show up on my likes page, but count as number of likes I have, BTW I can see the links to those tweets in my likes.js of my archive data).

Will any script delete those??

Is there a code to get rid of all bookmarks?

I am aware that this is turning into the programmer's version of playing Stairway to Heaven.

But here's mine

  • rather than estimating a scroll offset, it simply uses focus() to scroll the next item into view
  • has a backoff every 50 unlikes to prevent HTTP 429: Too Many Requests
function nextUnlike() {
  return document.querySelector('[data-testid="unlike"]')
}

function wait(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))
}

async function removeAll() {
  let count = 0
  let next = nextUnlike()
  while (next && count < 500) {
    next.focus()
    next.click()
    console.log(`Unliked ${++count} tweets`)
    await wait(count % 50 === 0 ? 30000 : 2000)
    next = nextUnlike()
  }
  console.log('Out of unlikes, count =', count)
}

removeAll()

At time of writing this is printing Unliked 1506 tweets

stops at 10 tweets
