This is a fork of edds/tweet-delete: A lambda which will delete tweets older than a defined time period from twitter. This fork also removes likes.

This assumes you've already set up your AWS account to work with serverless.

Make a copy of config.example.yml and name it config.yml.

Create a new twitter app and paste the relevant keys and secrets into your new config.yml.

In your terminal run:

$ npm install
$ npm run deploy

The lambda will now run once a day. It will delete any new tweets and remove any likes which are older than the allowed time. The first run through will take longer as it clears out old tweets.

This will only delete your 3,200 most recent tweets. That's all that will get returned on your timeline, so if you're just trying to clear that it will work. If you want to delete more than 3,200 you'll need to download you data from twitter (which you can do in the account settings) and pull the older tweet id's out of the files.
