if you are ever curious as to what other
people are searching and asking
questions about you can always go to
google.com and start typing in some
keywords and just the other day I typed
in Trello how to and look at what came
up at the very top of the list how to
delete a list how to delete a card how
to delete a board it looks like a lot of
you are curious not how to necessarily
archive them but how to get rid of them
for good so in today's video I'm looking
at all three of these things how can we
delete lists cards and boards within
Trello
hello everyone Scott Friesen here at
simple tivity helping you to get more
done and enjoy less stress and here we
have a sample board sample board number
two actually that I'm not afraid to
delete at the end of this video so of
course when it comes to Trello there's
basically three key terms that we need
to know boards lists and cards so let's
take a look at each of them in order to
see how we can delete those items so
let's start at the smallest form and
that of course is a card here's a card I
no longer need so how do we go about and
deleting this card well you may be
already familiar with archiving you see
that a lot within Trello and I think
it's a smart move maybe you made a
mistake maybe you want to go back and
still search for a card or information
within the card so we can hit archive
here if we want we can click on the card
and of course near the bottom we have an
archive button as well now as soon as we
hit that button you will notice at the
top it's telling us that this card is
archived even in the background I can
already see it's been removed from this
list but there is a red delete button so
this is how we go about and permanently
delete this card so if I never want to
see this card again I can hit the delete
button it's gonna ask me one time am I
absolutely sure and then I can hit that
delete button and it is gone for good
but why don't we look at another example
there within the card in case we want to
archive something and go look for it
again
because
I know a lot of you are also wondering
about that - where does it go exactly
when I hit the archive button so in this
card I'm gonna hit archive as well it's
telling me that the card is archived if
I click out of here actually maybe
there's one more thing else I'll say is
that if you need to send it back you can
always hit this button here send to
board but let's close this card and it's
gone and let's say what we do want to go
back and retrieve it where do we go well
it is searchable if we want to search
for it but an easier way I think is to
go into the show menu and number one you
can look at your activity so here's the
card that we just archived it tells me
that I archived it I can select it here
and now I'm right back in the card i can
hit Send to board and I've brought it
right back there it is back in the list
but let me archive it once again and
click out of here so here it is in my
Activity Feed but there's another area
which may be more useful to you and that
is if you select the more option you can
select archived items and here you can
see because this is a sample bar - hey
only have one that I've archived at this
point here I can see that card again so
I can click on it if I want to look at
the details or I can send it back to the
board immediately or here's another way
in which you can delete that card in
this example I'm just gonna say center
board again and there we are back in in
list number one alright so let's move on
to lists now of course here's a list
let's say list number two and let's say
I no longer need it but maybe I want the
information within it I can archive it
you'll see that there's no option here
to delete there is a difference between
archiving all cards in this list and
archiving this list right if I select
this option it's just gonna archive all
of the cards the list will remain the
same but if I select the last option
archive this list it is gone right it's
removed from this board now what if I
want to go back and delete the list well
here's the catch you can't actually
delete lists I'm gonna repeat that one
more time deleting a list is not
currently possible within Trello however
if we do want to go back
and re send that list or have that list
reappear in this board we can go back to
our menu we're back to archive let me
just show you that one more time
archived items but you will notice that
we need to select this link to switch to
lists and here is list number two it's
important that you notice the switch two
cards we don't have any archive cards at
the moment and switch to lists so now
here is list number two and my option is
to send it back to the board there it is
it's back on the board but I can only
archive this list it's not actually
possible to delete that list so
something that you learned hopefully has
a part of today's video all right last
but not least let's take a look at
deleting a board and again by default
Trello is going to encourage you or at
least as a first step
have you archived the board so if we go
back to menu and select more we can come
down here and say closed board now
closing the board is very much like
archiving the board if I select that I
can reopen the board by clicking the
boards menu from the header selecting
view closed board finding the board and
clicking reopen okay so I'm going to
select closed in this case so it's
telling me that it is closed I can
reopen it by this link here but here is
our option if we want to permanently
delete the board if we never want to go
back and find those cards look at those
lists or rearrange anything we can
select permanently delete the board one
more warning it's good right it's good
to have a number of warnings it's good
to have red colors red buttons to make
sure we know what we're doing but I can
hit delete and now that one is gone it's
out of the way so there you have it how
to delete a card how to almost delete a
list and how to delete a board I hope
