The thing people want is one button. Clear everything, start clean, one confirmation.
That button does not exist, and it is worth knowing why before you start looking for it. X does not store your history as one thing. Your bookmarks, your likes, the articles you have read, and the long videos you have watched are four separate records that happen to be displayed in the same section. Your posts, reposts, and messages are separate again. Nothing on the platform clears them together, and no tool can conjure a single action out of records the API treats independently.
What you can do is run the whole sweep in one sitting instead of across four confused sessions. That takes one preparation step, a specific order, and knowing which parts have no bulk option at all so you stop hunting for one.
With Circleboom Twitter, you can clear bookmarks, recent likes, your entire like history, reposts, and years of old posts back to back, most of them from the same archive download.
Do This First: Request Your Archive
Everything else waits on this, so start it before you do anything else.
Your X archive is a download you request from X's own settings. No third party can produce it for you, and it is the only route to history older than the recent window the API exposes. Request it, then carry on with the parts that do not need it while it prepares.
📌 The archive is also your only backup. Once likes and posts are deleted there is no recovery path, so the file you download is the sole record that any of it existed. Keep it somewhere you will still have it in a year.
What Is Circleboom Twitter?
Circleboom is an Official X Enterprise Developer, working through X's official APIs.
- Clears your bookmark collection in bulk, with an export step before anything is removed
- Removes recent likes through the API or your full like history from the archive
- Deletes old posts from the same archive download, past the limit the API can reach
- Clears reposts and direct messages as their own passes
- Filters every one of those by date, keyword, account, language, or media, so a full wipe stays optional
The Order to Do It In
- Request the X archive. Covered above. Start it first because everything downstream depends on it.
- Export your bookmarks while you wait. This does not need the archive. The bookmarks manager produces a CSV with the post text, a link to the original, engagement metrics, and the save date for every item. Do this before deleting anything, because some of those posts have since been deleted by their authors and the CSV will be the only copy that exists.
- Clear the bookmarks. All bookmarks are pre-selected by default, which is right for a full reset and wrong for anything narrower. Click Sync first so the list reflects what is actually saved, then use Delete All, or filter by date range and use Delete Selected if you want to keep recent saves.
- Clear recent likes through the API. No archive needed for this part. It covers up to your most recent 3,200 liked posts, with filters for date, account, and keyword. If your entire like history is smaller than that, you are finished with likes here and the archive step below is unnecessary.
- Clear the full like history from the archive. Once the download arrives, find like.js inside the folder, upload that one file, and work through the three step wizard. This reaches everything the API cannot see. The same file can be re-uploaded later with different filters, and anything already removed is skipped.
- Clear old posts from the same archive. tweet.js is the posts equivalent of like.js and runs the same way. If you are doing a full reset, this is the biggest piece and the one worth filtering rather than wiping, because old posts sometimes have value that old likes do not.
- Clear reposts separately. Reposts are their own record and are not covered by clearing posts or likes.
- Clear direct messages if they are part of the concern. Also separate, also not touched by any of the above.
- Accept what has no bulk option. The Articles and Long Videos tabs in your History section have no bulk clear, on X or anywhere else. They are read and watch records rather than actions you took on other people's content, and there is no API surface to remove them in bulk. If that is the part you were most worried about, the honest answer is that it is not currently clearable.
- Check what is left outside X. Posts can still appear in Google results after they are gone from the platform, on a completely separate timeline. That is a distinct job with distinct steps.
Bookmarks: What to Know Before Clearing
Bookmarks are the easiest part of the sweep and the one most likely to be regretted, because a bookmark list is usually a reference library rather than a record of behaviour.
Everything you saved is private. Bookmarks are private, nobody else can see them, and the author is never notified. So unlike likes, there is no visibility reason to clear them. The reason is usefulness: what bookmarks are meant to be is a working inbox, and a collection of several hundred across years is not that.
Export first without exception. Deleted bookmarks cannot be recovered and seeing deleted bookmarks reaches the same conclusion. Extracting your bookmarks to a file gives you real search over the archive, which the app never offered anyway.
If you would rather organise than clear, bookmark managers and searching your bookmarks are the alternative route.
Likes: What to Know Before Clearing
Likes are the opposite case. They are less useful to you and more consequential.
Nobody can browse them, since the Likes tab is no longer public. But the author of every post you liked can see that you did, and more importantly the history is an active signal shaping your For You feed and your recommendations, built from things you liked in contexts that stopped applying years ago.
That makes clearing likes the part of this sweep with a real effect on how X behaves toward you afterward. Resetting your X algorithm, whether a reset requires a new account, and whether deleting affects the algorithm all cover that territory.
⚠️ It rebuilds. If your browsing habits do not change, the like history regrows and the feed drifts back within weeks. Clearing is a reset, not a permanent state.
The narrower versions: the fastest way to unlike everything, deleting likes in bulk, unliking on iPhone, and downloading your likes first if any of them were research rather than approval.
Posts and Everything Else
While the archive is open, the rest of the sweep runs on the same file.
Deleting all your posts at once, deleting by year, deleting everything before a certain date, and one click archive erasers all read the same download. Whether to delete old posts and what to keep is worth reading before the biggest irreversible step in this list, and why people want to delete old posts covers whether your reason holds up.
Removing reposts is its own pass, and reading your archive plus clearing your X history more broadly cover what else is sitting in that folder. Deleting the archive itself is the last step if the downloaded file is part of what worries you, though do that only after everything else is complete.
FAQ
Is there one button to clear all my X history?
No. Bookmarks, likes, posts, reposts, and messages are separate records, and neither X nor any tool clears them in a single action. What is possible is running each pass back to back in one sitting, mostly from one archive download.
What order should I do it in?
Request the archive first because everything waits on it. Export bookmarks and clear them while you wait, clear recent likes through the API, then use the archive for the full like history and old posts once it arrives.
Do I need the archive for all of it?
No. Bookmarks and your most recent 3,200 likes are reachable through the API with no archive. The archive is only needed for history beyond that window, which mostly means older likes and older posts.
Can I clear my Articles and Long Videos history?
Not in bulk. Those two tabs are read and watch records rather than actions on other people's content, and there is no bulk removal option for them on X or through any tool.
Is any of this reversible?
No. Bookmark, like, post, and repost removal are all permanent. The archive you downloaded and the bookmark CSV you exported are the only records that will exist afterward.
Will clearing everything reset my feed?
Clearing likes has the biggest effect, because likes are the strongest personalization signal in the set. It will drift back if the browsing behaviour that produced it stays the same.
Does clearing bookmarks delete the original posts?
No. It removes your saved reference. The posts stay on X and their authors are unaffected and unaware.
How long does the whole sweep take?
The waiting is the archive request. Everything after it is a sequence of straightforward passes, and the parts that do not need the archive can be finished before it even arrives.
Should I clear everything, or filter?
Filter, in most cases. Every one of these tools supports a date range, and "the first six years gone, the last six months kept" is what most people actually want once they think about it.
Final Thoughts
There is no one button, and looking for it is the reason most people give up partway through and leave four half-cleaned records behind.
To clear your X history all at once, treat it as one session rather than one action: request the archive, export what has reference value, then work through bookmarks, likes, posts, and reposts in order. The parts that need the archive wait for it; the parts that do not can be done immediately.
With Circleboom Twitter, you can clear bookmarks, likes, reposts, and years of old posts on X from a single sitting and a single archive file, and filter each pass by date so the sweep removes what you meant rather than everything you ever did.
