Does Deleting a Pin You Created Delete It for Everyone?
No, deleting a pin you’ve created only deletes it on your board. If another Pinterest user saved a pin onto their board, it wouldn’t be affected. Completely removing content from Pinterest is currently impossible, so be aware of what you post.
Organize Your Pins
You can keep your Pinterest boards organized and clutter-free with a few simple steps. Keeping your notes and items in order is the first step in ordering your thoughts. Remember that instead of deleting a pin permanently, you can also move it to a different location or edit the information it contains.
