Do you have a lot of pins on Pinterest that you no longer want? Maybe you’ve outgrown your old interests, or maybe you’re just trying to declutter your account. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to delete pins from Pinterest. But before you start deleting pins, you might want to consider archiving them instead. That way, you can still access them later if you change your mind. However, if you’re sure you want to delete your pins, read on for step-by-step instructions.
To delete a pin, first click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the pin. A menu will appear. Click on “Delete Pin.” A confirmation window will appear. Click on “Delete” to confirm.
Identifying Pins to Delete
Scanning your Pinterest account can be an essential step in decluttering and organizing your virtual pinboard. Deleting pins can help you remove irrelevant or outdated content, improve the overall aesthetic of your boards, and declutter your feed. To begin this process, follow these steps to identify pins that may need to be deleted:
1. Review Your Boards:
- Go through each of your boards and inspect the pins within them. It’s helpful to consider the following criteria:
| Criteria | Action |
|---|---|
| Relevance: Consider whether the pin is still relevant to the board’s theme or topic. | If it’s no longer relevant, delete. |
| Duplication: If you have multiple pins with similar content, consider keeping only the best one. | Delete duplicates. |
| Outdated: If a pin is outdated and no longer of value, it may be time to remove it. | Delete outdated pins. |
| Personal Taste: If you’ve changed your preferences and no longer like a pin, delete it. | Delete based on personal preference. |
By systematically applying these criteria, you can effectively identify pins that could be removed from your Pinterest account.

- Hover over the pin you want to remove.
