Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to delete a board in mixpanel.
Can I recover a deleted board in Mixpanel?
Once a board is deleted in Mixpanel, it cannot be recovered. Make sure you no longer need the board and its data before proceeding with deletion. If you're uncertain, consider archiving or renaming the board instead of deleting it.
Does deleting a board affect my raw analytics data?
No, deleting a board does not affect your underlying event data or historical analytics. The board is simply a visualization layer that displays your data, so removing it only removes that specific view and its charts.
Can I delete multiple boards at once?
Typically, you need to delete boards one at a time through the board management interface. If you need to delete many boards, you'll need to repeat the deletion process for each board individually.
What happens to shared boards when I delete them?
When you delete a board, all shared links and access permissions associated with that board are also removed. Team members who had access to the board will no longer be able to view it.
Should I delete or archive unused boards?
If you might need the board's configuration or insights in the future, archiving is safer than deleting. Deletion is best for boards you're certain you'll never need again. Choose deletion when you want to permanently clean up your workspace.
