Pinterest is an innovative image sharing service that is a source of inspiration. If you’re a cook, or decorator or designer, there are always pins to spark ideas. You can curate these pins into boards which act as a collection of all the images you’ve gathered. You may have many boards and your profile looks messy and unorganized. So, how do you delete boards you don’t need? In this article, you will find out how…
Note: A deleted board is deleted forever and this process cannot be undone. Also, every pin in a board will be deleted once that board is deleted.
