Since 2011 twitter has become the most popular short-text social media. It might happen for users to delete their tweets on purpose or accidentally, and recovering the tweets becomes an issue.

Let’s start with a short brief about the possibility of recovering the deleted tweets. You might wonder which kind of tweets can be searched or viewed once you or someone else removed it?

How to Find Deleted Tweets

The first thing I must make you sure about is, unfortunately, you are not able to recover the deleted tweets, but you can find the similar tweets that others have published.

So, if you are looking for someone else deleted tweets or for Donald Trump’s deleted tweets, I assure you that it is impossible unless you find similar posts.

Nonetheless, here I would mention some of the ways that you can look for some data on Twitter, which is the better and fastest way to find similar tweets. It means you should look for other tweets with the same topic.

Search on twitter website

As I have mentioned before, it is unlikely that you can find the deleted tweets anywhere, but you can search on google to find the similar or exact text by putting the text in “….”.

If you want google to find that text on the Twitter website adds the website address before the text, for example, site:twitter.com I lost my tweets.

This would help you to narrow down your search

Deleted Tweets Website

One way to see and find the deleted tweets is to look for them in the website that already crowded and archived millions of tweets like https://www.twipu.com

So, you can go to this kind of site and type in the deleted tweets text in their search bar. You can also find all archive from the specific account by putting the username just after the website name with a slash, for example, https://www.twipu.com/username

In this way, you would g to that person tweets only, and it will help you narrow down the search.

Twitter Archive Data

Apart from the methods mentioned above, you can also find your twitter data on its archive. You can send your request through the twitter profile, and once you receive the email that the data is ready, you can download it as a zip file.

Where is Twitter Archive of Deleted Tweets

To get the archived twitter tweets:

Go to your account and click on the three-dots icon under your profile photo
Select the setting and privacy
Click on your twitter data
Enter your account password and click confirm
You can see the request data. You can download the periscope data too.
Once you request and the data is ready, you will receive an email notification from the connected email to our twitter account.
Then from the setting, you can download the zip file of your Twitter archive.

Please note that I do not believe you could find the deleted tweets from months ago here. Still, you would receive the data that twitter distinguishes it as relevant and most valuable (as they have mentioned in the description of downloading tweets archive).
