[ Privacy checklist ]
A privacy-first guide to cleaning your X profile
Any tool that can remove posts from your profile deserves extra scrutiny. Before you install or run a cleanup extension, use this checklist to review data collection, permissions, visibility, and control.
Check the data collection disclosure
Start with the Chrome Web Store listing. For CleanMyX, the listing states that the developer does not collect or use your data. That is a strong trust signal, especially for a tool that runs on a logged-in social profile.
- A clear data collection statement on the store listing.
- No request to enter your X password into the extension.
- No external dashboard required before you can clean your profile.
Understand the permissions
Browser extensions need permissions to interact with pages, save settings, and communicate between the popup and scripts. The question is whether the permissions match the job. For an X cleanup extension, active tab access, storage for preferences, and scripting access are expected parts of the workflow.
-
Review the Chrome permission prompt.
Read the prompt before installing. If a permission does not seem connected to cleaning X, take a minute to investigate.
-
Prefer tools that work locally in your browser.
A cleanup extension should not need your password or a separate account just to interact with the X page you already have open.
-
Keep Chrome extension access tidy.
After a cleanup project, review your installed extensions and remove tools you no longer use.
Prefer visible controls
Destructive actions should never feel invisible. CleanMyX keeps the session controls in the popup, including start, pause, resume, and stop actions, plus counters for processed items, deletes, reposts, and errors.
If a cleanup tool cannot pause, it is harder to recover when the page changes.
Counters help you notice when the session no longer matches what you expected.
Session limits and delays matter when a tool performs permanent actions.
Use safer settings for large cleanups
When cleaning years of activity, use conservative defaults: shorter sessions, visible progress, and delays that give X time to update the page. You can always run another pass after reviewing the result.
Clean with a privacy-first workflow
Review the listing, choose conservative settings, and keep the cleanup session visible while CleanMyX works.
