# Usage # Usage
You can use this script to delete toots that are older than a certain number of days. By default it will keep any pinned toots, but you can change that in `congif.py` if you want them to be deleted. You can also make a list toots that you want to save, by adding the ID numbers to the `toots_to_save` list in `config.py` (see point 9 below). The ID of a toot is the last part of its individual URL. e.g. for https://ausglam.space/@hugh/101294246770105799 the id is `101294246770105799`
