What X (Twitter) Auto Cleaner does

CleanMyX deletes your old posts on X in bulk, so you are not sitting there removing them one at a time. It works in the background. Start a clean-up, close the popup, and carry on browsing. Close your browser and it picks up where it stopped when you open it again. There are two ways to use it, and they reach different amounts of your history. QUICK CLEAN, NOTHING TO SET UP Open the popup, tick what you want gone, press Start: Tweets Retweets Likes Accounts you follow You can narrow it down by word, or by age using set options like older than a month, older than a year, or older than five years. This reaches your most recent 3,200 tweets, retweets and likes. That limit comes from X and applies to every tool, not just this one. There is a safe test switch that stops after 10 items, so you can see what happens before running the whole job.

Can PlugThis rebuild X (Twitter) Auto Cleaner?

YESYes — you can rebuild this.

It's just DOM automation and background task queues operating inside your active Twitter session.

The extension automates the clicking and unliking/deleting actions directly within X's web interface using standard content scripts and browser storage for task state. You don't need Twitter's paid API because it executes actions under your own logged-in session, with standard timers to avoid rate limits.

Questions about rebuilding X (Twitter) Auto Cleaner

Does this require paid access to the Twitter/X API?

No. The extension operates as a content script inside your existing browser tab, automating the standard web actions using your active session.

How does it resume after closing the browser?

It persists the deletion queue, target filters, and progress state in chrome.storage.local, allowing the background service worker to resume when X is open.

Will X block my account for rapid deletions?

You can configure human-like random delays (e.g., 1-3 seconds per action) inside your custom extension to stay well within normal browsing behavior limits.
