I once had an important conversation on Twitter DMs that I later regretted sending. Hoping to erase it entirely, I deleted the messages from my side, assuming they were gone forever. But to my surprise, I later learned that deleting a DM only removes it from my account—the recipient still retains a copy.
Yes, that’s right.
Deleting a Twitter DM does not remove it completely. Twitter does not provide an option to fully erase messages from both ends.
At this point, I also realized how difficult it is to manage DMs efficiently, especially when trying to keep my inbox organized. If you’re looking to delete Twitter DMs, let’s go over how to do it and the limitations you’ll face.

How to Delete a DM on Twitter
Twitter allows you to delete individual DMs, but this process can be tedious.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Open Twitter (X) and go to the Messages section.
- Select the conversation that contains the DM you want to delete.
- Long-press (on mobile) or hover over (on desktop) the specific message.
- Click on Delete and confirm your choice.
Moreover, Twitter only allows you to delete messages one by one, making it highly inefficient for clearing out large amounts of DMs.
The Problem: Deleting DMs One by One is Time-Consuming
After struggling with message deletion, I quickly realized how tedious this process was. If you receive a lot of messages—whether personal, professional, or spam—deleting them individually can be incredibly frustrating.
➡️ Since Twitter doesn’t offer a bulk deletion feature, managing your inbox manually can take hours.
This is where Circleboom Twitter comes in.
