I'm so sorry! We just fixed this bug with a new release. Basically Cyd supports browsing for a zip file, and it unzips it for you into a temp folder and deletes the temp folder when it's done. The bug is, it deletes the folder even when it's not a temp folder docs.cyd.social/blog/cyd-1.1...

Cyd - Claw back your data from Big Tech Automatically delete your data from tech platforms, except for what you want to keep

i found a free way to delete all of your tweets in one go. 10/10 would recommend @cyd.social. there's a paid version to migrate all of your tweets to bluesky, remove all of your likes, and unfollow everyone but the free version works very well. takes about a day to get your data archive.

Tackling X, formerly known as Twitter, proved to be another taxing task. I’d made my first tweets by text message, patiently pushing the keys of a flip phone to find the right letters. I had 103,000 tweets, 40,000 retweets, and 130,000 likes that I needed to remove. Deleting the account would have taken mere seconds, but I wanted to keep the account alive but inactive to ensure that no one would try to impersonate me in the future. Preparing to delete my data from X, I was reminded of my friend who had vanished from the web. Even in the early 2000s, they were careful about their online presence. They used Twitter, but they deleted their tweets and changed accounts regularly. If I posted something about them, a picture or even just a passing reference, they called — on the telephone — and politely asked me to take it down. I thought it was odd at the time, and I sometimes resented it a little. Now, facing down the task of deleting over 100,000 tweets, I think they were on to something. There was no way that I could possibly remove that many posts on my own. So I enlisted the help of Cyd. An open-source tool, Cyd (which stands for “claw back your data”) automatically deletes X posts, interactions, bookmarks, and direct messages. Based on my experience, Cyd can clear out 70,000 tweets in about three and a half hours. You can find other tools for deleting old tweets, such as TweetDelete, but I opted for Cyd because I’d had a good experience using it to clean up a personal Twitter account. I also liked that Cyd didn’t need to store any of my personal information; the entire process is managed in an application on my computer, not a service on the cloud.
