X users want to delete old posts without losing what they value
People cleaning up or leaving X want to remove old or selected posts without deactivating their account, losing posts they want to keep, or removing useful retweets. They ask for keyword search, selective deletion, and archiving, while some are wary of third-party tools that might scrape their content. A useful tool would need to make selection and preservation clear before anything is deleted.
For X users cleaning up or leaving their accounts. Mentioned from Nov 2024 to Dec 2024 on Bluesky.

Is there a tool to delete all your tweets EXCEPT for some of them? I want to clear my account before the end of this week, but these recent "How to move to bsky" tweets are being shared widely and helping lots of people, I don't want them to suddenly vanish for them
Is there a tool to not only delete all my tweets but archive them for myself? There are some bangers I need to keep but I need to delete everything before I fully leave
