Hopefully the last feature update for

: Deleting DMs.

Files you can use from the Twitter data export:
- tweet-headers.js to delete Tweets (20k/h)
- direct-message-headers.js AND group-headers.js to remove DMs (3k/h)
- like.js to remove Favs (don't even bother; it doesn't work well)

Buttons you can press to make the scrip press buttons for you:
- Unfollow everyone (make number go down)
- Export bookmarks (not included in the data export)
- Slow delete without file (cleanup missed Tweets or if you can't get the archive)

Those DMs are not really deleted, no?

AFAIK as long as the other party doesnt delete them, too - and I am not sure if even this is sufficient - the messages are still on twitters servers.

That's correct. They need to be removed by both/all parties. According to former engineers there, they are removed from the server once everyone removed them. bsky.app/profile/triketora.com

It was really time to leave this sh*hole (formerly known as Twitter) and to delete as much as possible.

Great script. Thank you!
