Does deleting a Pin you created delete it for everyone?

No, deleting a Pin you created only removes it from your board. If another Pinterest user saved a pin to their board, it wouldn't be affected. Completely removing content from Pinterest is currently not possible, so be mindful of what you post.

Organize your pins

You can keep your Pinterest boards organized and clutter-free in just a few simple steps. Keeping your notes and objects in order is the first step to ordering your thoughts. Remember that instead of permanently deleting a Pin, you can also move it to another location or edit the information it contains.
