Step-by-step Process to Remove Twitter Likes:

To remove Twitter likes with Circleboom, follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Log in to the Circleboom dashboard by authenticating your Twitter account. After you’re logged in, go to the Circleboom menu, select -> My Tweets -> Unlike.

Step 2:

Circleboom will list the recent Twitter ilkes 3,200 tweets that you have liked. As Twitter’s API access is restricted to 3,200 tweets, at any given time, you can only access the last 3,200 tweets. But you can always delete your new Twitter likes.

If you want to delete all your Twitter likes, click on Unlike All by pressing the grey button at the top.

Circleboom will delete all your Twitter likes with one click. Likes once deleted cannot be recovered.

Step 3:

If you only want to delete certain tweet likes, use the grid power search at the left. You can search for the following tweets using the grid power search:

  • Search tweets by date
  • Filter tweets by location
  • Find tweets by keywords/hashtags
  • Check tweets in a particular language
  • Search tweets by the Twitter account

You can type any of the search terms to find specific tweets. Once you have them, you can click on “Unlike Selected” to bulk delete Twitter likes or click on the “delete” button next to each of them to delete.

For example, to delete all tweet likes that contain “bitcoin”, you can simply search for bitcoin in the grid power search box. All your results are refined by the search term “bitcoin” for you to delete all. Similarly, to delete all your tweet likes from 2019, you can enter 2019 in the search box and you will only see tweets from 2019.

With these three simple steps, you can delete all tweet likes from specific dates or with specific keywords.

Remove Twitter likes with Python code for free

Here is some example code in Python that demonstrates how you could remove Twitter likes that have a particular date or keyword:

import tweepy

# Set up the Twitter API client
consumer_key = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"
consumer_secret = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET"
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
access_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"

auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_secret
)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

# Set the date or keyword you want to use to filter the likes
date = "2022-01-01" # only remove likes from this date or later
keyword = "politics" # only remove likes that have this keyword

# Get the list of likes
likes = api.favorites()

# Iterate over the likes and remove those that match the date or keyword
for like in likes:
if like.created_at >= date or keyword in like.text:
api.destroy_favorite(like.id)

print("Finished removing likes!")

This code uses the tweepy library to interact with the Twitter API. You’ll need to install it and provide your own API keys and access tokens to use this code.

The code gets a list of the authenticated user’s likes and then iterates over them. If a like matches the specified date or keyword, it is removed using the destroy_favorite method.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Final Words:

Whether you want to delete your Twitter likes from a particular era or with that someone specific, Circleboom can be really handy. The tool has a free plan that can let you delete up to 200 likes.
