Delete a card

Updated 9 Nov 2026

You can delete any card you no longer need. Deletion is permanent, but you can undo it straight away if you change your mind.

You need write access to the board to delete cards. The option does not appear if you are a viewer.

Delete a card

Right-click the card on the board to open the context menu.
Click Delete sticky.
A confirmation dialog appears with the title Delete sticky.
Click Delete to confirm, or Cancel to go back.

While you edit a card, the trash icon (Delete) at the bottom of the form opens the same confirmation.

The card is removed from the board immediately. Its comments stay for a while. Until they are removed, a notification, a search result or an activity entry for one of its comments opens the card's title with "This comment was deleted" instead of the thread.

Undo a deletion

Press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (macOS) straight after deleting to bring the card back. Undo in the toolbar's Edit menu does the same thing.

Undo only works in your current session. If you close the board and reopen it, the deletion cannot be undone.
