you can use the twitter app for free, but its limited to basic use. so it really depends on how many tweets you’re trying to wipe. if you have many hundreds or thousands of tweets then you will need to use the twitter account upload feature, and I think that is not available on redact’s free version but I am not certain about that. just download redact for free and run the app, if you only have like 50 tweets or something to remove I think it will work fine for you.

I don’t know what the number of tweets is you can delete before X rate limits you. But the only way to delete 100’s or 1000’s of tweets is to download your user file from twitter then upload it into redact. THEN you can actually mass delete your stuff. If you have a substantial account history on X, redact free version probably isn’t going to work for you.

How many free X deletions will you get before X’s rate limits take effect?

I did a couple hundred deletions on X using the free redact account, but that was almost two years ago. X may have adjusted their rate limits or something since then. I never had to download my userdata file, I was able to do it right out of the box using ther free redact version.

Yeah X changed something in fall of 2025 I believe. I used to be able to use the free version of redact to remove 100’s of tweets and then around fall, the amount of tweets I could remove went from 100’s to like 50. It’s almost a necessity now to delete via your data file.

Did 14,200 tweets last summer using the data archive method. Anyone telling you the free version handles big accounts is either working on a small history or has a really old account that doesn’t get rate limited as fast.

Get your archive from X (Settings \> Your Account \> Download an archive). Takes 24 to 48 hours to receive the email. Drop the .zip into Redact, point it at the archive instead of live scraping, and let it run. Mine took about 3 days total and ate the rate limits in the background while I went about my life. Worth every cent for that volume.

If you have under a few hundred tweetts, free version is genuinely fine. If you have years of activity, just pay. The math works out fast…
