Why these tools can delete only 3200 tweets?
It is believed that you can only access the most recent 3200 of your tweets. It is not true Twitter allows all tweets to be searchable. However, Twitter limits the number of tweets that can appear on your timeline and does not allow third-party apps to search past your most recent 3200 tweets.
What happens to deleted tweets?
Source: Twitter Help Center After a bulk delete, it may take some time to reflect the changes.
When you delete a Tweet, it is removed from your account, the timeline of any accounts you follow, and also Twitter search results. Retweets of the deleted Tweet will also be deleted. If other users have quoted your Tweet in their Tweets it will not be deleted. If other users re-tweet your Tweet, with a comment of their own, their Tweets will not be deleted. Tweets may be cached or cross-posted on third-party websites, applications, or search engines. Tweets that are not on Twitter cannot be deleted.
NOTE: Do not forget to click the Revoke Access button next to each of the Tweet Delete apps you tried and next to any other apps you have approved over time but no longer use. Giving access to your account to apps you do not use and do not monitor, is a bigger security risk than storing years worth of old Tweets.
