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 his board, he wouldn’t be affected. Currently, it’s impossible to completely remove content from Pinterest, so be careful what you post.

Organize your pins

You can keep your Pinterest boards organized and tidy with a few simple steps. Keeping your notes and items in order is the first step to organizing your thoughts. Remember that instead of permanently deleting a pin, you can also move it to a different location or edit the information it contains.
