Miro keeps deleted boards in the Trash for 30 days before permanently deleting them. Archived boards are stored indefinitely in the team's archive. Both can be restored to an active state. Restoring a board brings back all content — frames, sticky notes, connectors, and images — exactly as they were.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the Trash
On the Miro dashboard, look for the Trash icon in the left sidebar panel. Click it to open the list of recently deleted boards.
Step 2
Find the board
Browse the Trash to find the board you want to restore. You can search by name using the search bar at the top.
Step 3
Restore the board
Click the three-dot menu on the board tile and choose Restore. The board moves out of Trash and back to your active boards.
Why this matters
You deleted or archived a Miro board and now you realize it had a diagram or a set of decisions that you need to reference. You're hoping it's not gone for good.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the board in Trash
Boards are permanently deleted after 30 days in Trash. If the board is not visible, it may have been permanently deleted. Check with your team admin for recovery options.
The Restore option is not available
You may not have the permissions to restore boards in this team. Contact your Miro team admin to restore the board on your behalf.
