If a post has your phone number, address or a customer's details in it, delete it quickly. Deleting won't pull back copies made in the meantime.

• It's removed from your account, from your followers' timelines and from X search on x.com, X for iOS and X for Android
• Reposts of it are removed too
• The post, its metadata and its analytics are no longer publicly available on X
• Quote posts that others made of it stay up, and so does any text people copied into their own posts
• Copies on third-party websites, apps or search engines can stay: X says it can't remove posts that aren't on its own apps or x.com

A quote post is your own post, so you delete it like any other: on your profile, open the More icon at the top of it, choose Delete Post and confirm. X notes that an undone repost or quote can still show on devices with cached timelines, or where it was cross-posted to other sites.

1. Find the repost you want to remove. Its Repost icon is highlighted.
2. Tap or click the Repost icon.
3. In the app, tap Undo Repost to confirm. On x.com, clicking the highlighted button removes it.

No. X says it doesn't provide a way to bulk delete posts, so they come off one by one. For a completely fresh start without losing your username, X suggests creating another account with a temporary username, then switching usernames between the two accounts.

If you subscribe to X Premium, Undo post can catch mistakes before anyone sees them. It holds a post for 30 seconds by default (you can pick 5, 10, 20 or 60 seconds instead), and tapping Undo sends you back to the composer to edit or bin it.

• It isn't yours: X only lets you delete posts you posted. For someone else's post, mute, block or report instead
• It's a repost: there's no Delete option, so undo the repost with the Repost icon
• It's still in your Undo window (X Premium): it isn't public yet, so tap Undo to edit or delete it
• It still shows in a search engine or on another site: X can't remove copies outside x.com and its apps
• Someone quoted it: their quote post stays up after you delete the original
