Quick answer
All your Pins gone? Log out and find your original account. One board gone? Pinterest says you can restore a deleted board within 7 days from Recently deleted on your Saved tab (computer or Android). After that, search Google for your username and the board or Pin name to find a cached copy. Also check archived boards at the bottom of your profile. Group board gone? Ask its owner to invite you back. A few Pins gone? They may have been removed under Pinterest’s acceptable use policy.
Does this match what you see?
- All your Pins and boards are gone after logging in.
- One board or Pin has vanished.
- A group board you were in is no longer on your profile.

Why this happens: the possible causes
Pinterest’s reasons, by how much is missing.
| What’s missing | Likely reason | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Everything | You’re in an accidental second account | Find your original account |
| One board | It was deleted or archived | Restore it |
| One Pin | It was deleted | Look for a cached copy |
| A group board | You left or were removed | Ask to rejoin |
| A few Pins or boards | Removed under the acceptable use policy | Check the guidelines |

Try these 60-second checks first
- Check which account you’re logged in to: look at the username on your profile.
- Try your other email addresses, or Google or Apple login.
How to fix it, step by step
Work through these in order. They start with the quickest, safest checks and only move to steps that sign you out or remove data later.
Fix 1: Everything’s gone: get back to your original account
Pinterest says missing or different-looking Pins and boards can mean you created a second account by mistake.
- Log out of the account you’re in.
- Search for your original account by its email, name or username, and select This is me if you searched by name or username.
- Reset the password from the email Pinterest sends, and log in.
Full steps, including what to do with the accidental account: see Pins and boards missing? You may have a second account. Can’t merge them: Pinterest says accounts can’t be merged and Pins can’t be moved in bulk between accounts; save the Pins you want one at a time, then keep both (and switch between them) or close the one you don’t need.
Did it work? Your Pins and boards are back.
Did Fix 1 solve it?
Great, you fixed it with Fix 1. Tell us it worked, or bookmark this page in case it happens again.
Fix 2: Restore a deleted board (within 7 days)
Pinterest says you have seven days to restore a deleted board.
Android
- Tap your profile picture (bottom right), then Boards.
- Scroll down to Recently deleted and tap Restore.
- Tap the board, then tap Restore.
Computer (browser)
- Click your profile picture (top right), then the Saved tab.
- Scroll down to Recently deleted boards and click Restore Boards.
- Select the board and click Restore.
Pinterest says you can only restore on a computer or Android (business accounts: computer only). Deleting a board also deletes its Pins. Can’t find it there? Check the bottom of your profile: archived boards sit below your other boards and don’t show publicly.
Did it work? The board is back on your profile.
Did Fix 2 solve it?
Great, you fixed it with Fix 2. Tell us it worked, or bookmark this page in case it happens again.
Fix 3: Past 7 days, or a single Pin: look for a cached copy
Once the restore window has passed, a cached copy may still show up in Google.
- Search Google for your Pinterest username plus the name of the board or Pin.
- If a cached copy appears, use it to find and re-save the Pins you want.
Our tip: before deleting a board in future, move Pins you want to keep to another board.
Did it work? You’ve found and re-saved what you need.
Did Fix 3 solve it?
Great, you fixed it with Fix 3. Tell us it worked, or bookmark this page in case it happens again.
A group board is missing
Pinterest says you may have left the group board by accident, or its creator removed you. If you left by mistake, ask the board’s owner to invite you back, or request to join again (if the owner allows board requests). Owners: see invite and manage collaborators.
Business profile: Pins not in the Created tab
Pinterest splits a business profile into two kinds of content:
- Created (published): Pins you create on Pinterest, and Pins you save from your claimed website.
- Saved: Pins you save from Pinterest or from sites you don’t own.
So a Pin you saved from someone else’s site shows under Saved, not Created. Saving from your own site but it still isn’t under Created? Make sure your website is added and claimed on your profile. Pinterest also says that if you haven’t created anything yet, visitors see your saved Pins and boards instead. RSS auto-publish also creates Pins that count as created.
A few Pins or boards are missing
Pinterest says some Pins or boards may have been removed for going against its acceptable use policy; its Community guidelines explain what’s allowed. If you still need help, Pinterest points you to the Contact us page in its Help Center. Whole account suspended instead? See “We suspended your account”.
How to know it worked
- Your Pins and boards are back, or you know why they’re gone.

Frequently asked questions
Why did all my Pinterest Pins disappear?
Pinterest says you may have accidentally created a second account. Log out and search for your original one.
Can I merge two Pinterest accounts?

Can I recover a deleted Pinterest board?
Yes, within 7 days. Pinterest says go to your Saved tab > Recently deleted boards > Restore Boards, on a computer or Android. After that, try searching Google for a cached copy.
Why aren’t my Pins showing in the Created tab on Pinterest?
Pinterest says the Created tab only shows Pins you create on Pinterest or save from your claimed website. Pins saved from other sites appear under Saved.
Why did a group board disappear from my profile?
