DM Deleter is a JavaScript bookmarklet that gives you the capability to delete your Twitter Direct Messages in bulk. This little tool is easy to install and works with a variety of web browsers.
Direct Messages are private Twitter messages between two people. DMs can be deleted one-by-one, but at this time there is no bulk-deletion feature. The Twitter DM Deleter bookmarklet adds this capability.
When you load up your Direct Messages inbox on Twitter and click the “DM Deleter” bookmarklet, a new set of form fields will appear in your Twitter sidebar. With these controls, you can…
- Delete all your direct messages.
- Delete all direct messages from a specific user.
- Delete all your sent DMs.
- Delete all DMs that match a search string or regular expression.
Deleting Twitter direct messages is permanent. The author of Twitter DM Deleter has the following words of caution with regard to deleting sent DMs:
Please note that when you delete a message from your Sent mailbox, it will delete it from the recipient’s Inbox. The same applies for messages you have received.
