Deleting Boards as the Admin

Miro has been an excellent app for doing classroom critiques with all my students, but the inability to delete boards as the administrator (with an educational account) is abnormal.  Students invariably create their own boards on my account and I have no way of deleting them once the class is over.  I currently have 18 untitled/extra boards created by students from a class of 40.  If this continues, I won’t have any way of creating new boards in the coming years.  Admins need to be able to delete boards created by team members.

Yes please, great suggestion @Scott Moy!

 

This is not only for the education plan, but for other plans as well.  There is currently no way to delete or move multiple boards, and things can get quite busy in the dashboard. If Miro could come up with a way to select multiple boards and delete or move them to a new folder, that would be fantastic.


fully agree! I have more than 50 boards which I definitely would like to be able to delete in a bulk action


Exactly! That’s happening to me and it’s really frustrating cause this app has everything but the fact that we cant delete other boards it’s annoying. I wish Miro change it, it would be really helpful as I cant pay for monthly for a better plan by myself. Free plan it’s al I have.


I’ve just posted this as a question. 2 years and nothing happened? I have over 100 orphan boards in my account. It is impossible to manage something like this.😵


Has there been any updates to this thread?
I have a business account and can't delete boards as the company admin, although it should be possible according to help desk.

 

Any one any ideas how to fix that? Am I missing something in settings?

This is a must have! Even as a Team Admin I should be able to clean-up the team by deleting so many orphan boards. What I end up doing is: I create a "Trash" Space and move all those unused boards, waiting for a day where we Admins will finally be able to delete them.


@Fabio Barreiro So there is now way as an admin to delete stuff at the moment???

 

So this is false Information????

 


Fabio Barreiro

At least currently, as a Team Admin I cannot delete boards. The Trash space below is just a regular space I created and then moved orphan boards to it. But as you can see, I can't delete boards I do not own. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, though.

Agreed. Not just Boards but also Teams.
We’ve got a lot of Teams and Groups that aren’t used and I have to delete every single one by hand.
