Search Sweep: delete everything matching a search
File: scripts/searchSweep.js (full guide: docs/search-sweep.md)
The one to reach for when the user wants "delete every reply I sent @someone", "remove all my posts mentioning X", or "delete everything I posted before 2024". X has no bulk tool for that, but its search finds the posts:
https://x.com/search?q=from%3AYOUR_HANDLE%20%40someone&src=typed_query&f=live
How to use
- Open that search on x.com (use the Latest tab,
f=live; Top ranking hides most results) - Open DevTools (F12) then Console
- Paste
scripts/searchSweep.js. A panel appears bottom-right, pre-filled with the query already in the address bar - Pick the action: Delete, Like, Repost, or Reply. Leave Dry run ON and click Start
- Read the log, untick Dry run, start again
What to tell the user
- Delete only ever touches their own posts. Anything by another account is refused.
- It needs more than one run. X search returns a slice at a time and its index lags deletions by minutes. The script re-runs the query for several passes and remembers every id it acted on, so running it again a day later only picks up stragglers.
- Filters protect posts worth keeping: minimum age, likes/reposts ceiling, keyword exclusions, and the pinned post is always skipped.
- Deletion is permanent. Back up first with
scripts/backupAccount.js.
