How it works
Why this tool hands you links instead of answers, and why the order you do things in matters more here than you would expect.
We never looked, so we cannot tell you
There is no free public index of everything an X account ever posted. X ended free access to its data and has taken legal action against the mirrors, and the large ones have closed.
So for each service that might hold a copy, this tool builds the address that answers the question, you click it, and the answer arrives in your browser without passing through our server. The cost is real: we cannot hide a service that holds nothing of yours, we cannot put the ones that matter to you first, and we cannot tell you afterward whether a request worked.
Delete at the source first, and delete the account last
This is the opposite of the advice for Reddit, and the difference is not a matter of taste.
- Deleting the post on X does more here than on Reddit. Datasets shared under X's developer rules hold only post identifiers, so once the post is gone they cannot reproduce it. Some scraped datasets published outside those rules hold the full text, and deleting on X does not reach them.
- Do not count on editing. X only lets Premium subscribers edit a post within an hour of posting, never threads or replies, and shows the earlier versions to everyone, so for older posts deleting is the step.
- Snapshot archives are the exception and need a request. A page someone saved to a web archive stays saved whether or not you delete the original, so those are the ones worth writing to.
- Delete the whole account last, if at all. It becomes permanent 30 days after you deactivate, and doing it first takes away your ability to do the steps above. Once it is deleted your username is free for anyone to register, and copies elsewhere stay where they are.
And there is no fourth
- Delete at the source. On X, in the order above.
- Check each holder yourself. One link per service, clicked by you.
- Send the requests. We write the text and give you the address; you read it, decide, and send it.
Nothing here is a guarantee. This tool prepares requests, and a person at each service decides whether to act, and may decline.
