Retweet cleanup SOP for professional accounts

Retweets are often the highest-volume source of account drift. They were fast to create, but over time they can distort your current positioning. A standard operating procedure helps you clean with consistency.

SOP objective

Remove historical repost noise and misaligned endorsements while preserving current authority signals and profile continuity.

SOP scope

• Includes: reposts/retweets from historical periods
• Excludes: profile metadata, followers, and strategic current pins
• Optional extension: likes cleanup in a separate pass

Preparation checklist

1. Export account archive and confirm repost records are present.
2. Define a cutoff date for what should remain.
3. Create a rollback note containing links to any reposts you want to preserve manually.
4. Set execution window where you can monitor logs without interruption.

Execution sequence

1. Run repost-only mode first.
2. Pause and validate counts with profile refresh across devices.
3. Run second pass from archive IDs for any leftovers.
4. Record completion timestamp in your operations log.

Quality controls

• Throttle requests to avoid burst failures.
• Capture non-200 responses and rerun failed IDs only.
• Check both "Posts" and "Reposts" views after each pass.
• Use an observer account for independent confirmation.

Post-cleanup stabilization

After cleanup, publish one original high-signal post to reset the top-of-profile narrative. This prevents empty-feed perception and reinforces your intended message.
