Hey,

I would like to delete my inactive and ghost follower from my 17k Account.
I didnt use the account for 2 years and I´m trying to find a increase my engagement rate.

What is the best way to find all the inactive follower and delete them?

You can use Jarvee’s Block followers tool, you can check the filters that you want and start the tool.

[Guide] Improve Engagement by Removing Ghost Followers

Hi all, I’ve recently seen a lot of discussion about ghost followers and many asking how to find these and remove them. A lot of you also seem to have lost engagement during and after this process because you probably haven’t noticed that the way you do it influences the outcome significantly.

You can also type ghost followers on the search field on the forum, and you should get more ideas probably.

this would be great for removing bots, but im wondering, maybe you can remove people who didnt engage with your last 10 posts or something too

Yes thats possible, but my account wasnt active and not engaging with my post doesnt mean they are not active or ghost follower. I would like to remove all follower which didnt post anything the last 2-3 month.

There is a block function in jarvee, but I have no idea if I have to use a scraper or can I use it without any problem on my main account?!

[Nasho]

Are you using the block function on your mean account without a scraper?

Before going in to remove ghosts, I’d say to post consistently for at least 2-3 weeks. Then see who the ghosts are. Cuz as the definition of a ghost might be loose from one account owner to the next, nearly all your followers are ghosts at this point.

Re-activate your account first with posts, then remove people… (if thats what you really want).

IMO, I wouldn’t remove the ghosts and just keep posting to ignite the account again and you will see people unfollow on their own.

I did that already and now I am on a point where I want to delete all inactive users
Because I have many follower posted the last time 2018.

I knew I saw it somewhere

when you have the tag name method set you don’t need the classic scraper to main method you just need to have this option checked and most API calls are going to be done from the scrapers.
