Hi @Ashley Davis 

Having a Trello Premium subscription does not automatically mean that every user can delete any board or card. Trello permissions are controlled separately at the board and Workspace level, so the available actions depend on your role and the settings configured for that particular board.

For example:

  • To manage or delete a board, you generally need to be a Board admin.
  • For cards, users can usually archive cards first and then permanently delete them from the archived items area.
  • If the board belongs to a Workspace, additional restrictions may have been set by the Workspace admins.

Could you check whether you are listed as a Board admin on one of the affected boards? Also, are you unable to delete all cards/boards, or only items created by someone else?

If you can describe what happens when you open the card or board menu (for example, which options are missing), we can help determine whether this is a permissions issue or something else.
