How do I find my old pins on Pinterest?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To find your old pins on Pinterest, you can follow these steps:

1. Login to your Pinterest account: Go to the Pinterest website and login using your credentials. If you don’t remember your login details, you can use the “Forgot password” option to retrieve them.

2. Access your profile: Once you are logged in, click on your profile picture or the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen to access your profile.

3. Go to your boards: On your profile page, you will see various tabs including “Boards.” Click on this tab to view all the boards you have created.

4. Find the board with the deleted pins: Scroll through your boards to locate the specific board from which you have deleted the pins. If you remember the name of the board, you can use the search bar at the top of the page to quickly find it.

5. Check the “Archived” section: If you have recently deleted the pins, they might still be recoverable from the “Archived” section. To access this section, click on the “Archived” link located on the right side of the board’s name.

6. Restore the deleted pins: Once you are in the “Archived” section, you will see all the pins that have been deleted from the board. Scroll through the list and find the pins you want to recover. Click on the pin to open it, and then click on the “Restore” button to bring it back to your board.

7. Use email notifications: If you can’t find the pins in the “Archived” section, you can try searching for email notifications from Pinterest. Whenever you delete a pin or board, Pinterest sends an email notification to the email address associated with your account. Search your email inbox for these notifications using keywords like the board name or “Pinterest deleted pin.”

8. Follow the restoration link: Once you find the email notification for the deleted board, open it, and look for a restoration link. Click on the link, and it will take you to a page confirming the deletion of the board. On this page, you should see a “Restore” button. Click on it to restore the board along with all its pins.

By following these steps, you should be able to find and recover your old pins on Pinterest. Remember to check the “Archived” section on your boards page and search your email inbox for restoration links if needed.
