Deleting a pin you found in your main feed and saved to a board is no different from deleting a pin you created by uploading a photo, adding a link, and writing a description. If you delete a post you created (by uploading a photo and filling in the details), it will remain on other users' boards who saved it. Even though you created the original pin, it will only disappear from your board. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
