If you have accidentally deleted a Pinterest board, don’t panic! There are a few ways to restore it. In this article, we will show you how to do it. However, it is important to act quickly, as deleted boards are not recoverable after 14 days.
The first method is to check your Pinterest activity log. To do this, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen and select “Settings.” Then, click on the “Activity Log” tab. Here, you will see a list of all of your recent activity on Pinterest, including any deleted boards. If you find the deleted board in your activity log, you can click on the “Restore” button to bring it back.
If you don’t find the deleted board in your activity log, you can try contacting Pinterest support. To do this, click on the “Help” link at the bottom of any Pinterest page and select “Contact Us.” Then, fill out the form and submit it. Pinterest support will usually respond within a few days. Alternatively, you can also try searching for your deleted board on Pinterest. To do this, type the name of the board into the search bar at the top of the screen. If your board has been deleted, it will not appear in the search results. However, if it has been restored, it will appear in the results.
Accessing Archived Boards for Pin Retrieval
Pinterest archives your deleted and secret boards for 30 days. This feature allows you to retrieve your pins if you accidentally delete or make a secret board public. To access your archived boards:

- Select “Archived boards” from the drop-down menu.
You will see a list of your archived boards. Select the board you want to restore. To retrieve the pins from the archived board:
- Click the “Restore” button on the board.
- The pins will be restored to your account.
- Note: Secret boards will be restored as public boards.
