Why can’t I delete cards in Trello?

Generally, you cannot delete cards in Trello because the card represents an individual task or piece of work. You also won’t be able to delete any cards with comments, as this would remove important information or discussions about the card.

Similarly, if you delete a card, it removes all its associated data from the board, such as checklist items, labels, comments, attachments, and member information. These components would need to be individually removed and tracked, which would be a difficult task.

In Trello, it’s more useful to archive cards instead of deleting them. When you archive a card, it is removed from the board but still accessible in the board’s menu. This allows you to keep track of tasks, edits, and discussions that were made on the card.

Archiving also keeps all associated data intact, so if you ever need to re-reference the card, all data is still available. Archiving can also be helpful when cleaning up a board and decluttering old tasks.

How do you delete a board?

To delete a board, you will first need to access the board you wish to delete. Once on the board’s page, look for a gear icon in the upper right corner of the page. Clicking this icon will bring up a menu and from here you will select “More” and then select “Close Board”.

The next page will ask you to confirm the closure of the board. Once you agree, the board will be marked for deletion and appear in the list of closed boards in the Boards tab. From here, you can select the board from the list and delete it from your account.

Additionally, if you created the board that you are trying to delete, you can select the board in the “Created” filter, which can be found in the filter bar on the Boards tab of your profile. From here, you can click the gear icon to the right of the board name and select “Close Board” to delete it.

It’s important to note that if other people have been invited to and have contributed to the board you are trying to delete, a warning box will appear before the board is deleted, reminding you that the board holds valuable data and the board and its data will permanently be deleted from their profiles as well unless this is opted out of.

Once you’ve followed the instructions above, the board and all of its contents will be permanently deleted from your account and the accounts of anyone who was invited or able to access it.
