Every single person who uses Twitter should regularly delete their old tweets, especially if it has lost its value.
Twitter, is a very popular social networking site and microblogging platform. Since its a microblogging platform it allows messages of 280 characters or less.
If you’re on Twitter, it’s a good idea to re-visit your tweets and take precautions around your tweet history.
Because finding yourself in troubled water over an old tweet or a controversial remark you fired off absentmindedly is practically waiting for disaster to happen.
Here’s how to delete your old tweets.
There are many online services designed to help you manage your Twitter history and wipe it clean.
Some are free, and some charge a subscription fee. Perhaps the most popular of these services is TweetDelete, which is a free web tool that lets you both delete your Twitter history and set a timer for the deletion of future tweets.
Another free service is TwitWipe, which effectively does the same thing. If you’re looking for something more robust, you can use a paid service like TweetDeleter or TweetEraser.
But I prefer to use Tweeter itself to delete old tweets, so I’m sure my tweet is gone for good.
1st.Step: Log on to your Twitter account.
2nd Step: Go to Advanced search settings. Under the Advanced search box, you will get the following options.
