This is a question that I have been asked before by loads of my friends and I thought I would write a short post on my tips for your mass of DMs or Direct Messages that you may have building up on your Twitter profile.
First of all your DMs shouldn’t really give you any cause for concern, even though they may be a bit of a pain to have loads, they are generally not a problem, but, if you do want to get rid of them, there is sadly no option on Twitter to delete multiple DMs, so how do you do it?
Some time ago you used to be able to use a program called DM Whacker, but sadly this no longer works on twitter, so my advice would be to use SocialOomph (formally TweetLater), besides been able to do stacks of other things, you can also “purge” your list of DMs from Twitter.
You have a choice of all DMs, older than 7 days and older than 30 days, so you can keep some that you may deem important. Yes it’s that simple.
But remember once your DMs are deleted, that’s it, you will not be able to get them back, they are gone for over, so be careful you don’t delete messages that you want to keep

I never thought of deleting DMs at all. Since it isn’t a problem for me, I just leave them intact. However, I have like 60 DMs. Haha, maybe it is time to clean up.

Here’s taking note of that, but for the meantime I unfollow users who litter my DM inbox with their wares especially those repeat offenders. If I just delete their spammy messages that takes take time and these things add up. I’d rather have them gone from my life.

How To Remove Loads of Direct Messages on Twitter!…
This is a question that I have been asked before by loads of my friends and I thought I would write a short post on my tips for your mass of DMs or Direct Messages that you may have building up on your Twitter profile….
Don’t use twitter anymore, but was happy to stumble this – when I did use it, the huge numbers of DM’s I was getting was a pain, and I did want to delete a lot of them.
Hope this post is of use to many more!

I am insanely organized with my inboxes (we have so many don’t we?) and so I generally answer immediately or asap and then delete. My email is the same way. I think I have OCD when it comes to this topic lol.

This is a very useful tool. To not be able to remove more DM’s at once is a real pain. At least is free for using it with Twitter

Thank you so much for sharing this, took me a while to find a solution to mass deleting of Twitter Direct Messages. Such a painful and time consuming task to do it manually. I’m using the solution you provided and the DM’s are being deleted as I type this.
There’s so many people out there that aren’t even aware of such a thing, so I will definiately be spreading the word about this! Twitter, here we go!
Thanks again!
Laura.

Hey Karen,
I’ve been using SocialOomph for a while. Apart from using it to welcome some of those who add me on Twitter, I’ve never used this feature before. Don’t have a problem with spammy DM yet but I’ve enabled this already just in case…
