Retrieving Deleted Boards

I had a board that someone else was a member of and it was accidentally deleted. Is there any way to retrieve the boards. I was the administrator.

Hello @Tammy Schaefer 

There is a critical difference in Trello between a board being closed versus permanently deleted.

If the board was simply closed, you can easily restore it: Go to your Trello home page, scroll to the bottom, select View all closed boards, find your board, and click Re-open (you just need to have been a board admin to do this).

However, if it was permanently deleted after closing, Trello doesn't store a backup on their servers, and it cannot be recovered by the community or support.

Check that you are logged into the correct Atlassian account and check your browser history or old email notifications for the direct board URL. If visiting that link says "Board not found," it was permanently deleted.

Best,

Arkadiusz 🤠
