Hi there, @[deleted]! 👋

Unfortunately, deleting your private account won’t automatically transfer ownership of the Trello boards to your business email. Trello doesn’t reassign board ownership when an account is deleted.

Here’s what you can do instead:

  • Log in with your private account (before deleting it)
  • Add your business email (new account) to each board as a member, and then make it an admin
  • Once your business email is an admin on all the boards you want to keep,
  • You can safely delete the private account - your business account will retain access and admin rights.

Bonus tip: If you're the only admin on a board, Trello will not allow you to leave until another admin is assigned - so this helps prevent accidental loss of control.

Let me know if this helped! 😊

Deleting your private account won’t automatically transfer ownership of the boards to your business email. Before deleting, ensure that you add your business account as a member or admin to each board, and then manually transfer ownership where necessary. Once that’s done, you can safely delete the private account without losing access.
