You can do so from the desktop version by clicking on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the page. Then, choose Delete Retweet from the menu that opens. Next, close the confirmation dialog and your retweet will be deleted from your profile. It&#8217;s that easy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_retweets\"><\/span>Disabling retweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a number of Twitter accounts, you can opt to disable retweets for some of the people you follow. This way, only the people you want to see your tweets will be able to retweet yours. To turn off retweets for specific accounts, visit the user&#8217;s profile page and click the gear icon (three dots) in the top-right corner. Click &#8220;Turn off retweets&#8221; in the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n<p>To disable retweets for a specific account, go to the profile page and tap the three-dotted icon next to the tweet. You can also go to the profile page of the person you want to block by clicking on the three-dotted icon next to their name. Once you&#8217;ve turned off retweets, you&#8217;ll no longer receive any tweets from them.<\/p>\n<p>You can also turn off retweets for an entire account by using the script Michael Hertzberg has written. The script will turn off retweets for every user you follow, including those who aren&#8217;t following you. This will prevent other people from retweeting your tweets, and you&#8217;ll have a clean newsfeed once again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_TwitWipe\"><\/span>Using TwitWipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Retweets can be irritating and time-consuming to sort through. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to fix the problem. The first option is to use a third-party app. Although third-party apps are safe, there is always the chance that hackers may hijack them. In this case, scripting is a safer option. You will need the username and password of the account you want to remove the retweet from.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is to use the TwitWipe tool. This application enables you to delete retweets from your timeline. This is ideal if you want to start over from scratch or if you&#8217;d like to delete nonsensical tweets. TwitWipe deletes tweets in the order they were created. The downside to this is that there is no undo option, so you might need to recreate your Twitter account and delete your old tweets from there.<\/p>\n<p>Another alternative is to use the &#8220;Remove Retweets&#8221; extension. This tool allows you to filter your timeline by removing retweets from other accounts. You should always keep a backup of your tweets before using this application to remove retweets from Twitter. However, it can be annoying to find retweets that haven&#8217;t been endorsed by the author or have other issues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Circleboom\"><\/span>Using Circleboom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Circleboom to delete re-tweets on Twitter can be time-consuming and frustrating. It&#8217;s easy to accidentally delete a re-tweet and not even realize it! However, this tool does exist. Circleboom lets you sort and search your Twitter re-tweets by date, location, or keyword. By clicking on one of these options, you can delete selected retweets and likes, or even just the old ones. However, before using Circleboom, you must first log in to your Twitter account and authenticate it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be presented with a list of all the tweets and replies. Unless you have backups, deleted tweets cannot be recovered. Therefore, it is essential to download a Twitter archive to prevent any loss of data. Using Circleboom to delete retweets on Twitter can be time-consuming, but it&#8217;s worth it for the convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Using Circleboom to delete re-tweets on Twitter has many benefits. It allows you to upload the archive of your Twitter account and delete old tweets, re-tweets, and replies. By doing so, you&#8217;ll be able to get rid of hundreds or even thousands of re-tweets in just a few clicks. Circleboom also allows you to find re-tweets by keyword or language, which makes them easier to find and delete.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hsZu9qQZCiI\" height=\"282\" width=\"504\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Retweets on Twitter There are a few ways to delete retweets from your Twitter profile.
