Free PHP Script to Mass Delete Twitter Friends, People You Follow
Twitter has changed…
Many early twitterers follow everyone that followed them. They are now having a hard time managing all their Twitter friends (people you follow) because of the twitter noise. Are you one of them? Do you need a way to delete them all?
Here is a simple PHP script that allows you to delete all of you friends in one big swoop or in tiny increments. It makes an array of all the people you follow, these cycles through them deleting each one until the limit that you set is reached. It will delete all, so if you want to save some users, you should make a list and then re-follow them when you are done deleting everyone. I didn’t add that feature to this script to keep it simple.
Installation:
- unzip the file and upload the PHP file to your webhost
- point your browser to the file, example http://yourdomain.com/delete_following.php
- enter your Twitter username, password and how many to delete.
- Click submit and let it go… Warning, it can take a long time to delete users if you delete thousands at a time.

I need a lot of followers at Twitter. If you want to delete them, could you transfer your followers to my account instead? LOL I wish you could have that kind of PHP script where you could transfer your followers to another account.
there are so many spam followers on twitter now, it just isn’t worth it. But, if you are looking to add followers you need to get an autofollow script. Maybe this weekend I’ll write one up
Interesting thought. On a personal level this script would be perfect. I recently went through my Facebook and did just that. Deleted people I haven’t talked to in years! For business, I would have to agree with Singapore SEO Consultant because you never know who you will reach!
(1) Checking out your script now.
(2) You can grap the animated whale for your next post about twitter.
