Are hundreds of bookmarked posts cluttering your X account? Whether you’re cleaning up old saved tweets, protecting your privacy, or simply starting fresh, knowing how to remove all bookmarks on X can save you a lot of time.
The good news is that X (formerly Twitter) offers a built-in option to clear your entire Bookmarks list in one go. You don’t need to manually delete saved posts one by one.
This guide shows how to clear all bookmarks on X (Twitter) using the official mobile app on iPhone and Android. You’ll also learn how to bulk delete bookmarks in X on a computer using a Chrome extension.
What Are Bookmarks on X?
Bookmarks on X allow you to save posts privately for later viewing. Similar to Likes, bookmarked posts are only visible to you.
Many users rely on bookmarks to save news articles, tutorials, product recommendations, videos, memes, and important announcements.
However, the Bookmarks section can become crowded over time with outdated or irrelevant posts, making it harder to find content that still matters.
If you can’t locate your saved posts, check our guide on how to find bookmarks on X before following the steps below.
How to Remove All Bookmarks on X at Once
To clear bookmarks on X app, there is a dedicated “Clear all Bookmarks” option that instantly removes every saved post from your account.
Using the X Mobile App
Here’s how you can clear all bookmarks from your X account on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
On iPhone or iPad
- Make sure you’re running the latest version of the X app on your iOS device.
- Open the X app and log in to your account. Note: If you manage multiple X accounts, then first switch to the account whose bookmarks you want to remove.
- Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner.
- Select the new History feature from the menu.
- In the History section, tap and hold (long-press) the Bookmarks tab at the top to reveal the hidden option.
- Select “Clear all Bookmarks” at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap “Yes, I’m sure” to remove all posts you’ve added to your Bookmarks.
On Android
Here’s how you can remove all Twitter bookmarks at once on Android devices:
- Open the X app.
- Tap your profile picture in the upper-left corner or swipe right on the screen.
- Select Bookmarks from the side navigation menu.
- In the Bookmarks section, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Choose Clear all Bookmarks.
- Tap Clear to confirm your choice.
Once confirmed, all your bookmarked posts will be removed immediately.
How to Clear All Bookmarks on X on a Computer (Chrome Extension)
Unlike the mobile app, the X website currently doesn’t include a native “Clear all Bookmarks” option. If you primarily use X on a computer, a browser extension can help automate the removal process.
For this, you can use the Twitter Remove All Bookmarks Chrome extension (also works with Microsoft Edge). The addon is designed to delete X bookmarks automatically as they load on the Bookmarks page.
How the Extension Works
Unlike X’s built-in Clear all Bookmarks feature, the extension doesn’t instantly erase your entire bookmarks library from the server.
Instead, it opens your X Bookmarks page and scrolls through bookmarked posts. The extension then removes bookmarks automatically as they appear on the screen and continues until all loaded bookmarks have been processed.
This is useful if you have numerous saved posts and don’t want to remove them manually one by one.
Steps to Bulk Delete X Bookmarks on Desktop Using Extension
- Install the Twitter Remove All Bookmarks extension in Chrome or Edge.
- Visit the X website and make sure you’re logged in to the correct X account.
- Navigate to Bookmarks from the left sidebar.
- If the extension is enabled, you will see a “Remove All Bookmarks” option on the Bookmarks page.
- To delete all bookmarks on X, simply click “Remove All Bookmarks“.
- The extension will now run and remove all bookmarks as they load.
Once completed, you should see an empty Bookmarks section. Your bookmarks list will be cleared across all devices linked to your X account.
Note: This process might take time depending on the size of your bookmarks collection and your internet connection.
Tip: Remove the extension after you’re finished if you no longer need it.
That said, X’s native Clear all Bookmarks option (on mobile app) remains the simplest and easiest method to get the job done.
What Happens When You Clear Bookmarks on X?
Many users hesitate to clear Twitter bookmarks because they’re unsure what gets deleted.
Here’s exactly what happens:
- All saved bookmarks are removed from your account.
- The original posts remain on X.
- Your Likes, reposts, and replies are unaffected.
- Other users won’t be notified.
- The action syncs across mobile and desktop devices.
Note that once bookmarks are removed, you won’t be able to restore them.
Can You Undo “Clear All Bookmarks”?
No.
After you confirm the action, X permanently removes all saved bookmarks from your account. There is currently no recycle bin, archive, or recovery option for deleted bookmarks.
How to Delete Individual X Bookmarks
If you only want to remove selected saved posts instead of clearing the entire list, you can delete bookmarks individually.
Steps to Remove a Single Bookmark on X
- Open the X app or website and go to the Bookmarks section.
- Find or search for the saved post you want to remove.
- To remove a single post or tweet from your Bookmarks, tap or click the Bookmark icon next to the particular post.
- Repeat for every post you want to remove from Bookmarks.
This works best when you only have a handful of saved posts to manage.
