How to Deactivate or Delete a Pinterest Account
Pinterest is an excellent tool for investigating websites and gathering and curating online images and information.
However, if you have completed a project and no longer wish to use Pinterest, or if you simply need a vacation from the bulletin board-like social media service, you may completely deactivate your account, erasing all of your data from the internet.
If you need to take a break from Pinterest but don’t want to make any permanent changes, you can deactivate your account and recover it later.
If you have a Pinterest business account or are attempting to delete an account on behalf of a deceased person, you should contact Pinterest’s customer care for assistance.
