Delete a board
If you are certain you will never need a board or its contents again, you can delete it. Only closed boards can be deleted.
Worksapce admins can close and delete any board in a paid Workspace. In a Free Workspace, only the admin of the board can delete it.
Deleting a board is permanent, and deleted boards cannot be recovered. If you want to get rid of a board without deleting its content, close it instead.
Delete a board
To permanently delete a board:
Open the board menu
Select Close board then confirm with the Close button
Select Permanently delete board
Make sure there is nothing you need on the board, then select Delete
Find a closed board to delete it
To delete a closed board:
Go to your home page by selecting the Trello logo in the top-left, or with this link: Your Trello home page
Select the Boards section
Scroll to the bottom and select View all closed boards
Find the board to delete, then select Delete
The list will only contain boards where you are an admin. If you need to delete a board that you’re not an admin of, contact the board admin.
Delete a board where you aren’t a board admin
Workspace admins in paid Workspaces can delete closed boards in their Workspace without being a board admin if they have the board URL. Open the board URL then delete the board from the board menu.
There isn’t a way to find the URL of a closed board unless you’re an admin of the board, but sometimes the URL can be found in your email notifications or browser history if you’ve visited the board previously.
If the board isn’t in a paid Workspace, contact the board admin and ask them to delete it.
Delete a board in Trello mobile
Our iOS app doesn’t offer board deletion, but you can close a board from the board settings.
To delete a board in Android:
Make sure there’s nothing on the board you need
Open the board, then open the board menu by tapping the three dots at the top right of the screen
Open the board settings by tapping the three dots again
Scroll to the bottom and select Close board
Select Delete
Recover a deleted board
Deleting a board is permanent, and deleted boards can’t be recovered.
