How to add an account and run your first cleanup
The whole loop, shown on X (Twitter), which the app calls Twitter. Every platform follows the same loop; what changes is whether the sheet in step 4 appears, the list of what can be deleted, and the options in step 6.
- 01
Tap Main at the bottom
The very first time, Unpost asks you to choose a language (Apply Language), then shows its privacy policy: tap Continue. Until you have Premium, Unpost then opens on the Subscription tab. You don’t need to subscribe: the free plan deletes up to 50 items a day on each account. Tap Main to get to your platforms.
In the app Subscription → Main
- 02
Pick the platform and tap Connect
Tap the platform’s tile, then Connect under its accounts (here, Connect Twitter). The page that opens next is the platform’s own login page.
In the app Main → Twitter → Connect Twitter
- 03
Sign in on the platform’s page
Sign in with your username or email and password, and any code the platform asks for. Use the password form: on Android, the Google and Apple sign-in buttons open your browser, and a sign-in finished there never reaches Unpost. When the login is done, the page closes by itself and the account appears in the list, with what it can still delete today under its name.

Tap the account and choose Delete from X (Twitter)
On X, Discord, Slack and Reddit a sheet asks how to delete. For a first run, pick the first option, which deletes what the platform still lists for you. On X, Discord and Reddit, Delete from data package is for old content the platform no longer shows.
In the app Main → Twitter → account → Delete from X (Twitter)
- 05
Tick what to delete, then tap Continue
Each row is one kind of content, with a line saying what it removes and what stays online. On X, Delete Content is a group: tap its name to open it, then tick just the kinds you want, here Delete Posts. The group’s own box ticks all four kinds inside it, replies, reposts and quotes included.
In the app Delete Content → Delete Posts → Continue
- 06
Check the options and tap Delete
This screen holds the options for the platform you picked: a date range or keywords on most platforms; X has neither, only the way likes are removed. On X, and most other platforms, the defaults delete everything you ticked; if you didn’t tick Delete Likes, leave X’s like option as it is. Reddit is the exception: by default it overwrites posts and comments instead of deleting them (see Reddit: randomize or delete, what each option does).
In the app Options → Delete
- 07
Read the rules and tap Got it
Nothing is deleted until you tap Got it. On Android, the first time, the phone may then ask to allow notifications: that is the progress notice for when you are in other apps, and the run goes on either way. On Android the run keeps going if you switch apps or lock the phone, but stops if you swipe Unpost away from your recent apps; on iPhone, keep Unpost open. Don’t use the account anywhere else while it runs.
In the app Important Information → Got it
- 08
Let it run
The card shows what is being deleted now and the total so far; the small 0/1 under the name counts your selections, not items. Free Remaining counts down what is left of today’s allowance. Deleting is slow on purpose. To stop early, tap the Deleting button at the bottom.
In the app Delete screen
- 09
Read the result
When the run ends, the result screen shows how many items went and how each selection ended. Delete More takes you back to the list for the same account; if the run stopped early, the button reads Try again and does the same. If it stopped because today’s 50 free deletions are used up, it reads Upgrade Now and opens the Subscription tab. To wait instead, tap Back to Home on the result screen and come back tomorrow.

Good to know
- Deleting is permanent. There is no undo, and Unpost keeps no backup.
- Each account can delete up to 50 items a day on the free plan; Reddit has no cap. See How the free daily limit works, and what “Daily limit reached” means.
- If the login page doesn’t close after you sign in, see How to sign in, and fix a login that won’t connect.
- If the result says the platform paused the run, or Nothing deleted, see What to do when a platform pauses your cleanup, and Why a cleanup found nothing or stopped early.
