Delete Your Entire Pinterest History
Years of pins and boards. Every phase, every project, every plan you ever saved. Redact can clear your whole Pinterest history in two passes: pins first, then boards. Preview each pass, pick a deletion mode, and watch your Pinterest history evaporate.

Deletion Mode
Pins and boards, end to end
A Pinterest account is a diary that looks like a collage. Wedding plans from a marriage ago, house ideas for a house you never bought, recipes, fandoms, aesthetics you've long since retired.
The full clear takes all of it
Every pin and every board. Pinterest treats them as separate categories, so you clear pins in one run (with All Pins selected in Delete in Boards) and boards in the next.
The mechanics are deliberately boring
Pick the category, select All Pins in Delete in Boards for the pins pass, leave the rest of the filters open, choose a mode, start. Then switch categories and do the other half.
Deletion is forever
There is no undo. Preview Mode exists so the irreversible part happens last.
Deletion is forever, look before you leap
The app says it and this page repeats it. There is no undo. Each run clears one category. Preview Mode produces the full list of what that run would remove. Review & Delete lets you walk the list and tick what goes. Deletion Mode is the point of no return, so start it only once a preview has shown you exactly what's about to disappear.

Deletion Mode
Four modes, one irreversible destination
Preview Mode
Produces the full list of what a run would remove. Nothing gets deleted, no matter how long you stare.
Review & Delete
Walk the list and tick what goes, box by box. Slower on a long history, but nothing leaves without a say-so.
Deletion Mode
The point of no return. Start it only once a preview has shown you exactly what's about to disappear.
Schedule Deletion
Set the clear-out to repeat on a schedule, catching anything new since the last run.

Clear pins, then boards

Preview, then start deleting
Run Preview Mode first and read the list for that category. When you're certain, switch to Deletion Mode, then repeat for the other category.
Your pins and boards never hit a Redact server
Redact scans, lists, and deletes from the device in front of you. Your boards, pins, and Pinterest login never route through a Redact server. Disconnect the moment you're done.

Frequently asked questions
No. The account, your username, and your follows all stay. What disappears is the content, every pin and every board, which for most people is the part that needed to go.
No. Deletion on Pinterest is permanent, which is why Preview Mode exists and why the app warns you before Deletion Mode starts.
Then don't run the full clear. Point the run at pins only, or use the board filters, dates, keywords, pin-count ranges, and the collaborative and private exclusions, to spare what matters.
It depends on the size of the history. A few dozen boards go quickly; tens of thousands of pins take a while. The app shows progress as it works.
Windows, macOS, and Linux. Pinterest cleanup ships on the desktop app.
Redact is free to download and try, but clearing your Pinterest history sits on Premium and higher. See pricing for the tiers.
