How to delete all your X bookmarks
It takes a minute and cannot be undone.
How do I delete all my bookmarks at once?
Open your Bookmarks on , tap the more icon (three dots) at the top of the list, choose the option to remove all bookmarks, and confirm. It takes a minute and cannot be undone. If you would rather keep the few that matter, ZeroMark, an bookmark manager, reads each save first so you can decide one at a time.
- ZeroMark helps you curate taste from your saved posts.
- Clearing on is permanent. There is no undo and no trash folder.
- 's help page on your data archive does not list bookmarks among what it contains.
- ZeroMark is read-only on . It never deletes your bookmarks. The final wipe is always yours.
Before you clear: three facts
1. There is no undo. Once the list is cleared, it is gone from your account. 's help page describes removing all bookmarks at once and offers no way back.
2. Your data archive will not save you. 's help page on downloading your archive lists what it contains: your profile, posts, Direct Messages, media, followers, accounts you follow, address book, Lists, inferred interests and ad data, "and more". Bookmarks are not on that list. Some people report a bookmark.js file holding only post IDs, with no text. Either way, it is not a readable copy of what you saved.
3. Bookmarks are private. 's help page says your bookmarks are only viewable to you, inside your account.
If none of that worries you, go ahead and clear. If one of those saves was a thread you meant to quote, a tool you meant to try or a person you meant to write to, read the section after the steps.
How to delete all your bookmarks, by device
Menus move between app versions, so the wording on your screen may differ slightly.
On the web (x.com)
- Go to x.com/i/bookmarks, or click Bookmarks in the left menu.
- Click the more icon (three dots) at the top of the Bookmarks list.
- Choose the option to clear or remove all bookmarks.
- Confirm.
On iPhone
- Open the app. Since May 2026, Bookmarks sits under the History tab on iOS, beside Likes, Videos and Articles. On older versions it is in the side menu.
- Open Bookmarks.
- Tap the more icon at the top of the list and choose to remove all bookmarks.
- Confirm.
On Android
- Open the app and go to Bookmarks from your profile menu.
- Tap the more icon at the top of the list.
- Choose to remove all bookmarks and confirm.
If there is no "remove all" option
People regularly report the option missing on one device or app version. Try, in this order:
- Update the app, then look again.
- Try the other surface. If it is missing on the phone, try x.com in a desktop browser, and the other way round.
- Remove them one at a time: open a post in your Bookmarks and tap the bookmark icon again. Slow, but it is the official path and it never hands your account to anyone.
- Use a third-party bulk cleaner only if you have read what it asks for. Prefer tools that use 's own sign-in screen and say which permissions they request. When it is done, remove its access from your connected apps in 's settings.
The honest alternative: review them one at a time
Clearing everything is the right call when the list is pure noise. It usually is not. A pile of a few hundred saves tends to hide a small number you would genuinely miss: a thread you meant to cite, a tool you meant to try, a person you meant to reach.
Going through them one at a time sounds slow, and in 's own list it is. You open each post, decide, scroll, and lose your place. also stops showing older saves somewhere around the 800 to 1,000 mark (community-observed, not published by ), so scrolling never reaches the bottom of a large list.
Reviewing one at a time works when each save comes with a reason to decide:
- Connect ZeroMark to . The connection is read-only. ZeroMark cannot post, like, follow, message or delete anything on your account.
- Read two lines, then decide. ZeroMark reads every bookmark first, including the post it quotes, and writes two lines on each. You press D for done, X to let go, S to snooze. About a second a save, so a pile of 1,600 is an afternoon.
- Take the keeps with you. Export what you kept to Notion, Obsidian or a file. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini can read your keeps through ZeroMark's connector. The one thing it writes is a build brief, the first time it is asked.
- Then clear yourself, using the steps above. Nothing you kept depends on anymore.
ZeroMark has a free plan for your latest 150 saves. $4.99 a month or $39 a year reads your whole library.
What ZeroMark does not do: it does not delete anything on , it is not a backup of every bookmark, and it works on only. If you want an archive of everything, an exporter or archive tool is the better fit; our export guide compares the routes.
What is worth keeping
A quick rule for the review, whichever way you do it. Keep a save if it is one of these:
- Something you would quote or cite.
- A tool, product or resource you still mean to try.
- A person you meant to follow up with.
- An idea that still makes you want to act.
Let go of everything else: news that has moved on, jokes you already laughed at, threads you agree with but will never use.
