How To Remove Loads of Direct Messages on Twitter!

« Web Hosting Ratings – A Site For Checking Out Those Hosts! DVD Review: 2012 Movie Apocalypse » How To Remove Loads of Direct Messages on Twitter! Posted by Karen in How To, Internet, 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. 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 If you enjoyed reading this post, then please remember to post a comment, Subscribe to my RSS feed.

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.
