This post does not longer reflect the reality of Tweet Binder data. We are Twitter compliant and we always follow Twitter’s guidelines regarding data download. We will be updating the content of this post, so when you read it keep in mind that the content will not be updated.

Tweets and hashtags are all around us. Because it is so simple to share a tweet, we frequently do it without giving it any thought. There are tweets on every imaginable subject. Additionally, Twitter analytics statistics are available to monitor every element. Twitter is so real-time that it might be challenging to stay up with the latest trends. Twitter never stops, even if you only follow a small number of accounts.

Sometimes, though, we wish we hadn’t clicked “Tweet” at that very moment. Perhaps it’s because our opinions of the tweet at this point have changed. It can also be because we need to improve our timeline (remember that if your online presence if open can be easily tracked). Or, just because the tweet we just tweeted contains a typo. There are many good reasons to delete a tweet. Because of this, we will explain how to remove Twitter data in this post.
