With the exception of the data retrieval method, the OP tried this, and suggests that simply having the tweet_id is not enough, if the tweet it corresponds to happens to be old enough (or something) to not be accessible by the API.

I did exactly this a while ago (before deleting my Twitter account for good) and with the id extracted from the downloaded CSV I could delete everything. Perhaps they've changed policies recently.

I wrote a couple of Python scripts to keep your timeline tidy (delete everything from the beginning, then trim and leave only the last N): https://github.com/rinze/obliterate_tweets

Twitter API allows you to get 3200 old tweets. That's not enough to delete all the tweets. If you request your data, you can get all your tweets.

>> tweet_id is not enough

tweet_id is enough to do any interaction if you give read/write to the key that you are using in your Twitter API. I deleted my tweets (back to 2012).

but it doesn't unlike. You have to re-like/un-like it now, too, beyond 3200.
