⚠️ Important Notes
- Deleted tweets cannot be recovered! Use carefully.

- Deleting too many tweets too quickly may result in temporary account restrictions.
- The extension can only see tweets that are loaded on the page:
- Scroll down manually first
- Wait for tweets to load
- Then run the extension
- Make sure you're on your profile page.

🔧 Settings Explanation
Max Deletions (Safety Limit)
- Enter a specific number (e.g., 50) to delete that many tweets
- Enter 0 for unlimited (deletes all loaded tweets that match filters)

Delay Between Deletions
- Time to wait between each deletion to avoid API limits
- Recommended: 2000-3000ms (2-3 seconds)
- You can lower to 1000ms for faster deletion, but it increases risk

Keyword Includes
- Delete only tweets containing specific words
- Separate multiple keywords with commas: `giveaway, test, promo`
- Case-insensitive search

Date Range
- Oldest date: Delete tweets from this date onwards
- Newest date: Delete tweets up to this date
- Leave empty to ignore date filtering

Delete Only Retweets
- Check this to delete only your retweets
- Your original tweets won't be touched

Skip Pinned Tweet
- Check this to keep your pinned tweet safe
- The tweet at the top of your profile will not be deleted

🐛 Troubleshooting
"This extension only works on Twitter/X pages!" error:
- Make sure you're on your Twitter/X profile page

Tweets not deleting:
- Refresh the page and try again
- Increase the delay time
- Make sure you're on your profile page
- Check if your filters are too strict

Process is too slow:
- You can decrease the delay time (be careful)
- Very low values may cause Twitter to block you temporarily

No tweets found matching filters:
- Check your keyword spelling
- Verify your date range
- Scroll down to load more tweets

📝 Best Practices
1. Start small: Test with a small number first (e.g., 10-20 tweets)
2. Use realistic delays: 2000-3000ms is safe
3. Backup first: Consider exporting your tweets before mass deletion
4. Monitor progress: Don't close the tab or browser during deletion
5. Respect rate limits: If you get rate limited, wait a few hours

⚡ Future Features (Optional)
- Export tweets before deletion (backup)
- More advanced text filtering (regex)
- Like count filter
- Reply count filter
- Better progress tracking
- Dry run mode (preview what will be deleted)
