Deleting a board

In order to delete a board, you'll need to close the board first. Closing a board is similar to archiving a card—you can leave it in your "Closed boards" list if you think you might want to use it again someday, or you can delete the board permanently once it's closed.

In Standard and Premium Workspaces, the Admins can close and delete any board within the Workspace, but of Free plan, only the admin of the board will be able to do it.

Deleting a board is permanent, and deleted boards cannot be recovered.
