Deleting cards, archiving and deleting boards

Cork never deletes anything without asking, and it tries to give you a reversible option first. Here's exactly what each action does.

Deleting a card

Open the card and click Delete. This is permanent: the card, its content, and any images on it are removed for good, and the image storage they used is freed. Cork asks you to confirm.

There's no trash can for individual cards, so if you're at all unsure, export the board first — the markdown file is a complete copy of every card's text.

Archiving a board

On your boards page, hover a board and choose Archive. Archiving is the reversible one:

• The board moves to the Archived section at the bottom of your boards page.
• Nothing on it is deleted — every card, tag, and image stays put.
• It stops counting toward your plan's active board limit, so archiving is how you make room on a full plan.
• Its images still count toward your storage limit. Only deleting frees storage.

Restore an archived board any time with one click — provided you have room under your active-board limit, which may mean archiving something else first.

Deleting a board forever

In the Archived section, each board has a Delete forever option. This permanently removes the board, all of its cards, and all of their images (which frees that storage). Cork asks for confirmation with appropriately serious wording, because there is no undo, no thirty-day grace period, no "actually wait."

Again: export first. It costs one click and produces a markdown file you can keep forever.
