Hey there, Pinterest enthusiasts! I know you love keeping your boards vibrant and engaging. But sometimes, the clutter just needs to go.
Whether you’re tidying up or revamping your strategies, deleting Pins can be a crucial step.
Let me guide you through this process while sharing some handy tips to keep your Pinterest sparkling in 2025.
Why Delete Pins?
You might have your reasons for purging Pins. For business accounts, it’s all about boosting that repin rate. By removing underperforming Pins, you’re not just cleaning up—you’re enhancing your stats. It’s like giving your Pinterest a fresh coat of paint!
Keeping only the most repinned boards gives visitors a stellar impression of your brand. And let’s not forget those outdated promotions. They’re definitely candidates for the delete button.
What You Need to Know About Deleting Pins
Deleting Pins is a permanent affair. Once gone, they’re gone for good. If others have repinned your content, their versions stay alive and clickable.
So, be sure you’re ready to say goodbye, rather than just relocating them.
Interestingly, even after deletion, your Pins might still pop up in web searches for a while. Don’t worry! I’ll show you how to speed up their disappearance from the web.
