Where is my trash?


When I log into Miro, I find that after deleting files, I can't find the boards anywhere anymore. They used to be found in the trash.

You will find the list of deleted files by going to the trash: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/trash

Miro seems to think that changing around their UI a lot makes things easier, but in fact, I think most people just want to use an AI, ask a question, and go directly to the API they need.

So, that's the URL for the trash API and hopefully, even if the folks that think that cosmetics are more important than functionality get their hands on it and move the trash somewhere else, that that URL will still work so you can delete permanently or restore as you wish.

I have absolutely no idea why the UI doesn't offer "delete permanently" as well as "restore the board" but that's the problem with UI designers… API however, must be complete, even if the UI is not.

@Amos.Ren - I see from your screenshot, you are currently on a Free Plan team dashboard. For as long as I have been using Miro (over six years), the Trash can has not been an option for Free Plan teams, as noted in the Trash management help center article:


Board owners can, however, load the link of a Free Plan board that was Trashed and restore it within 90 days of deletion. For example, find the board link in your browser history (you can search by board name) and open it to see:

Hi ​@hendshiwa,

 

Could you share a screenshot of your Trash in Miro? Also, could you please confirm if you can access the deleted board here: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/trash

 

A few questions to help us understand the issue better:

  • Were you the owner of the deleted boards, or were they shared with you?
  • How did you delete the boards—did you move them to Trash manually or delete a project/folder containing them?
  • Are you the team admin, or is someone else managing the team settings?

Let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist! 😊
