Important Notes

• This bookmarklet comes with no warranty
• It will delete your direct messages if you ask it to
• It is beta software and while it has been tested, the possibility exists that it might do bad things

That being said…below you will find a solution to remove your direct messages on Twitter. Please leave any comments on the original blog post.

Drag the link below to your bookmarks bar and then open your Direct Messages page in Twitter. Click the bookmarklet you created and select whether you want to delete all direct messages, or just direct messages from a specific user (No @ in front of their name).

Please note that when you delete a message from your Sent mailbox, it will delete it from the recipient’s Inbox. The same applies for messages you have received.

Bookmarklet: DM Whacker

This has only been tested in Firefox 3, Flock (thanks, @rotkapchen!) and Safari at the present time. Please note I’ve had some reports of this not working on Firefox 2.
