I filmed this video to show how to permanently delete your Pinterest account, whether you’re closing it down or starting fresh with a new one.

Pinterest can be great for visual inspiration and marketing, but sometimes you just want to clean up your digital footprint. In the video, I walk through:

  1. Logging into Pinterest
  2. Clicking your profile > Settings > Account management
  3. Scrolling to Account changes > Delete account
  4. Confirming via the email verification link

Pinterest gives you a 14-day grace period where you can change your mind and restore the account. After that, everything — pins, boards, and followers — is gone permanently.

I’ve done this in the past for unused business accounts or when consolidating personal and work profiles.

Have you considered deleting or rebranding one of your Pinterest profiles?
