How To Delete a Tweet on Twitter?

When you remove a tweet from your timeline, it is no longer visible to your followers.

What Happens When You Delete a Tweet?

As previously stated, when you delete a tweet, it is no longer visible on your timeline. This means that it is no longer visible to the general public and that you cannot view it. Unfortunately, it does not fully disappear. Twitter keeps archives in which it keeps all of your info. When you delete a tweet, Twitter has to delete it from all places, which may take some time. Yet, numerous Twitter monitoring businesses follow your Tweets, Followings, Likes, and so on to collect data about you and sell it to marketers. They save your data before Twitter can delete it from their archive. When you delete a Tweet, it is deleted from your timeline, account, and followers’ timelines, but it may remain hidden on the internet.

Do Deleted Tweets Appear in Searches?

Deleted tweets are no longer visible to the public, but Google and other search engines still index them. Consequently, if someone searches for them, they may surface in search results. Someone who searches for something and comes across your deleted tweet can still access it. Twitter saves your deleted tweets and may make them available again at any point without your knowledge or approval. This is, however, not a regular occurrence.

Can Deleted Tweets Be Recovered?

It is not easy to recover deleted tweets, but it is possible. To recover a deleted tweet, you must first download your archive. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Use any device to access Twitter.
2. On the laptop, click “More,” or on the mobile app, tap your profile photo in the upper left corner.
3. Choose “Settings and privacy.”
4. Choose the “Download an archive of your data” option from the “Your account” menu.
5. Enter your password and press the “Next” button.
6. Send an email or text message to confirm your identity.
7. Under “Twitter data,” click the “Request archive” option.
8. Twitter will give you a download link within 24 hours, perhaps sooner.
9. Download the file and look for the deleted tweet.

Can You See Other People’s Deleted Tweets?

Seeing deleted tweets of other users is not impossible, but it is not a sure bet. Third-party apps that may have stored the tweet or search engines that may have indexed your tweet might allow you to view someone’s deleted Tweets. Nevertheless, the likelihood of this happening is low, and they must have a public account for this to work.
