If you have accidentally deleted your board from a free team, there is nothing to worry about - you can easily restore it, as long as you have a URL to it. The easiest way to find the link is to search for the name of the board in your browser history or the email inbox. Once you’ve recovered the link and opened it in your browser, you will see this window:

Frequently asked questions
- I lost my board. What do I do?
- Go to Trash and check if you can restore the board from there. If you're on Free plan or cannot find the board in Trash:
1) try to find the board link in your browser history or inbox and restore it by following the link;
2) check all teams by switching between them on the left sidebar of your dashboard;
3) make sure you're authorized in Miro under the correct email (if you have several Miro profiles).
💡 If the board was located in a paid or Education team, check your custom templates with a similar name - it is possible that you initially created a template and not a board.
It is also possible that you were deleted from the team where your board was located. When removing a user, the Admin can reassign the user's boards or delete them. If they remove the boards, they will still be able to restore them within 30 days after the deletion. - I deleted content on my board. Can I restore it?
