How to ?

mass delete tweets :

• Now extract tweets.csv from the downloaded archive into wtweets's directory.

make the script work :

     • Generate access token & access token secret.

Why are we using a csv file to proceed mass deletion ?

The twitter API sets a limit of 3200 tweets recovered per user.
By parsing csv file, we can retrieve tweets ID (and more) directly and without worries.
