How To Undo Multiple Reposts on X: 2 Ways To Delete Several Retweets Quickly

The above guides are excellent for removing a handful of reposts. However, if you need to delete tens, hundreds, or thousands of retweets, you can’t undo each one manually.

Not only is this impractical, but it is also time-consuming. On top of that, there’s always the chance that you may miss a few reposts accidentally. Here are two ways to delete several retweets quickly.

1. Use Your X Data File To Find All Your Reposts in a Single Tab

3. After you go to X’s settings page, left-click the Your Account option and pick Download An Archive Of Your Data.
4. X asks you to re-enter your profile password to check the platform’s security. After you complete this step, X sends a verification code to your email ID or phone number. Enter this unique code to pass the security check.
5. Once you enter the X Data settings page, left-click the Request Archive button.
6. The platform will take 24 hours or longer to make the file available. Check your notification tab, as X will send an alert.

3 Reasons You Can’t Find Your Reposts on X

While following the above guides, you realize you can’t find specific reposts on your profile. What gives? Here are three reasons that explain why some reposts seem invisible:

1. The author deleted the original post: You can’t locate specific tweets because they’re no longer on X. In other words, the authors deleted the original posts. In this situation, you don’t need to worry about anything, as the tweet and your repost won’t be visible.
2. There are more than 3,200 posts on your profile: X, aka Twitter, only shows 3,200 of your most recent posts on your profile page. Due to this technical limitation, you may be unable to see your reposts, especially the older ones. You’ll need to access your X Data file to see all your retweets in a single location.
3. X suspended the author’s account, or they deleted their profile: If X suspends a Twitter user’s account, it removes all the posts they published. As a result, you won’t see the repost, as the tweet doesn’t exist. The same thing happens when the user deletes their profile.
