TL;DR. There's no built-in way to delete all your Twitter/X bookmarks at once anymore. X removed its delete-all option, so your real choices are removing bookmarks one at a time, using a third-party workaround at your own risk, or deciding the pile doesn't need deleting at all. Whatever you choose, export your bookmarks first. Deletion is permanent.

The short answer
Here's the honest version up front. As of this writing, there is no built-in way to delete all bookmarks on Twitter/X in one step, not on the web and not in the mobile app. X used to offer a "delete all Bookmarks" option, but users noticed it quietly disappearing around early , and it hasn't come back since.
That leaves you with three real paths. You can remove bookmarks one at a time, which is the only official method left. You can use a bulk-delete workaround, meaning a community script, a browser extension, or a paid tool, each of which carries its own risks. Or you can step back and ask whether deleting is actually the right move for the problem you're trying to solve.
One reassurance before we start: bookmarks on X are completely private. Nobody can see what you've saved, and nobody is notified when you un-save something, so this entire cleanup is housekeeping for an audience of one. If you want the full picture on who can see what, read are Twitter bookmarks public?
The rest of this guide walks through each option in order of safety. Then it covers the two things most delete-everything guides skip: why you should export before you wipe, and whether you should be wiping at all.
Deleting bookmarks one by one (the only official way)
The only method X officially supports today is manual removal. Open a bookmarked post and tap or click the bookmark icon under it, and the post leaves your bookmarks immediately. The icon works as a toggle: filled means saved, hollow means removed. That's the entire procedure, and it works the same way on desktop and in the mobile apps.
The fastest workflow is to do it from the Bookmarks tab itself. Open your bookmarks, work from the top, un-save each post, and let the list collapse upward as you go. Each removal takes a couple of seconds once you find the rhythm, and you don't need to open every post fully, since the bookmark icon sits right in each post's action row.
Now for the honest math. A couple of seconds per bookmark sounds trivial until you multiply it. Fifty bookmarks is a coffee break. Three hundred is one long, tedious sitting. A couple of thousand is several hours of repetitive tapping that you will almost certainly abandon partway through. Manual removal is a genuinely fine answer for small piles and a miserable one for large ones.
There's a silver lining to the tedium, though. Because you see each post as you remove it, manual deletion doubles as a triage pass. You'll rediscover a handful of saves worth keeping or acting on, which a true one-click wipe would have vaporized without a second look. If your pile is under a hundred or so, this is the method I'd actually recommend.
Bulk-delete workarounds and their risks
When the pile is too big for manual removal, people reach for one of three workarounds to clear Twitter bookmarks in bulk. All of them work by automating the same un-save action you'd otherwise do by hand. None of them are official, all of them are irreversible, and each carries a different kind of risk worth understanding before you start.
Browser console scripts
The most popular free workaround is a snippet of code, usually shared on GitHub, that you paste into your browser's developer console while the bookmarks page is open. The script then clicks through your bookmarks and removes them automatically, the same way you would by hand, just faster and without your thumb.
Two problems. First, these scripts are fragile. They depend on the exact layout of X's interface, so they break whenever X changes its design, and X changes its design often. A script from a blog post that worked last year may silently do nothing today, or remove half your bookmarks and then stall.
Second, and more important: pasting code you don't understand into your browser console is a genuine account-safety risk. The pattern is called self-XSS, and it's a well-worn way people get their accounts compromised. An attacker publishes a "helpful" script that quietly does something else entirely while you're logged in. If you can't read the code and verify what it does, don't run it. No pile of bookmarks is worth your account.
Browser extensions
The second option is a browser extension, typically for Chrome, built to mass-remove X bookmarks. Extensions are friendlier than console scripts. You install one, open your bookmarks page, and press a button. No code involved.
The trade-off is trust. For an extension to delete your bookmarks, it needs access to your logged-in X session, which means you're handing a stranger's software the ability to act as you. Most bookmark-cleaning extensions are fine. Some are abandoned and broken. A few, in every extension category, turn out to be collecting more than they claim.
So vet before you install. Check who built it, when it was last updated, how many users it has, what the reviews say, and exactly which permissions it requests. An extension that asks for access to every website you visit, rather than just X, deserves a hard pass. And uninstall it once the job is done. There's no reason to leave standing access in place.
Paid third-party tools
The third option is a paid account-management tool. Circleboom is the best-known example that includes bookmark deletion among its features, alongside broader profile-cleanup tools. You connect your X account, pay for a plan, and run the deletion from their dashboard.
What you're buying, essentially, is maintenance and polish: a supported product with a company behind it instead of a script from a stranger. That's worth something. But the fundamentals don't change. You're still granting a third party access to your account, so the same vetting rules apply, and the deletion is still permanent. For a one-time wipe, weigh the price against the manual alternative, roughly twenty minutes of tapping per hundred bookmarks.
Export your bookmarks before you delete anything
Whatever method you choose, do this first: export a copy. There is no trash folder for bookmarks, no undo, and no restore-from-backup on X's side. When a bookmark is removed, your only record that you ever saved that post is gone with it. Every mass-delete story that ends in regret ends the same way: "I didn't think I'd want any of it."
You almost certainly will want some of it. Somewhere in that pile is the thread you'll try to half-remember in October. An export costs you a few minutes now and turns "gone forever" into "sitting in a file I can search." The full walkthrough of the three ways to do it, from manual copy to automatic sync, is here: how to export your Twitter/X bookmarks.
Once the file is saved somewhere safe, delete with a clear conscience. The archive survives. Only the clutter dies.
Bookmark bankruptcy: delete everything, or digest it?
It's worth pausing on why you're here at all. Almost nobody wants to remove all bookmarks on Twitter because the saves are worthless. People want the wipe because the pile has become a source of guilt: hundreds of things you promised yourself you'd read, sitting in a tab you now avoid opening. Deleting everything, often called bookmark bankruptcy, is a legitimate response to that guilt, and I've written before about why bookmarks pile up like this in the first place.
Bankruptcy works. The debt disappears, the guilt goes with it, and the relief is real. But be clear about what it fixes. It clears the backlog, not the habit. If you keep saving twenty posts a week with no plan for returning to them, the pile will be back within months, and you'll be reading a guide like this one again next year.
There's an alternative worth knowing about, because it attacks the guilt without destroying the archive. A bookmark digest flips the direction of the relationship: instead of you remembering to visit the pile, the pile comes to you as a short weekly email that summarizes what you saved. The saves stop being a backlog you owe and become a feed you receive. The full explanation of the pattern lives at what is a Twitter bookmark digest?
Full disclosure: this is the product I build, so discount for bias accordingly. Bulkmark syncs your X bookmarks automatically and emails you a weekly AI-summarized digest of what you saved, so the pile gets read instead of deleted. It's $9 a month with a 7-day trial. I built it after my own third or fourth bankruptcy, when I finally admitted the problem was never the pile. It was that nothing ever brought the pile back to me.
The honest test between the two options is a single question: if the whole archive vanished tonight, would you feel relief or loss? Relief means declare bankruptcy, wipe it, and start fresh with better rules. Loss means the archive has value you're not extracting, and resurfacing it is the better fix than erasing it.
X Premium folders: the middle ground
If you subscribe to X Premium, there's a third path between wiping everything and keeping the heap: bookmark folders. Premium subscribers can sort bookmarks into folders, which turns the single undifferentiated pile into something you can triage instead of nuke.
A practical pattern: create a small number of folders for the things you genuinely revisit, move the keepers in, and treat the main bookmarks list as a disposable inbox. Once the keepers are foldered, deleting the remainder, manually or otherwise, feels far less risky, because everything you consciously chose to keep is already somewhere safe.
Folders don't solve the reading problem on their own (filing something is not the same as returning to it), but they do dissolve the "one giant heap" feeling that pushes people toward total deletion. If you're already paying for Premium, try triage before bankruptcy.
Bottom line
No shortcut exists anymore. As of this writing, X gives you no built-in way to delete all Twitter bookmarks at once, so manual removal is the only official method, workable up to about a hundred saves. Beyond that, the bulk workarounds all function: console scripts, browser extensions, and paid tools like Circleboom. And all of them demand the same caution about handing your account to code you can't read or software you haven't vetted.
Whatever you do, export first. Deletion is permanent, and the backup costs minutes.
And before you wipe, ask what the wipe is for. If the pile is really guilt, deleting is one cure and resurfacing is another, and only one of them keeps the archive. Start fresh if you need to. Just make sure you're solving the habit, not only the symptom.
