Who can do it: Board Owners, Company Admins
Available on: Starter, Education, Business, Enterprise
With the improved trash management experience, admins have more visibility and control over the lifecycle of Miro boards, helping them to align with more restrictive compliance regulations that require content deletion after certain periods.
⚠️ Trash management is only available on paid plans. Customers on Free plan can restore boards by following the board’s link. These boards can be restored within 90 days of deletion.
How to access Trash
Trash is a common bucket where you can explore and manage all the boards that have been deleted. You can see trashed boards by board name, team, project, owner, who deleted the board, and when. Trash is also searchable by board name.
✏️ Board owners can only view their own boards in trash. Company Admins with Content Admin Permissions can view all boards across their organization in trash.
- Go to your dashboard: miro.com/app/dashboard.
- Click your profile avatar in the upper right.
- Click the Trash icon.
