What Is Trello
What Is Trello
Trello is a free project management and productivity app that can be used in so many ways.
It’s one of the best productivity tools I’ve ever used!
You can use it as a solopreneur or you can use it with your team members. It allows you to organize and customize your projects.
I personally use it as an Etsy store planner, blog planner, life planner, habit tracker, meal planner, and so many other things I can’t keep count.
If you haven’t used it yet then click here to create a new Trello account. And while you can upgrade, I just use the free plan.

So why should you use Trello for your blogging business? There are several reasons.
1) It’s simple to use. I downloaded the app and I was able to understand it right away whereas, with some apps, it takes me quite a few uses before it clicks with my brain.
2) It’s a brilliant way to organize your thoughts and plan your business.
I plan about 85% (or more) of my business using Trello. I also created a blog content planner on Trello that I love and has gotten rave reviews from other bloggers who have used it. Click here to take a look!

3) It’s easily customizable. What I love about Trello is how customizable it is. I can design the boards the way I want. I can leave my cards plain or I can dress them up.
I can create as many cards or board lists as I need to. You can rearrange the order of the boards, name the boards, create checklists, calendars and so much more!
These are just a few of the reasons why I love this free app so much.
I’ve even created a free blogging business roadmap checklist in Trello.
It gives you all the steps you need to take to start and grow your blog! Just enter your email below to get the link:
Anyway, if you aren’t using Trello then I highly recommend it.
But since, you want to know how to delete a board list I’m assuming you already have it and just need help with that so that’s what I’ll share in the next sections.
Just follow the simple steps below!
The Annoying Truth Of How To Delete A Card In Trello
The Annoying Truth Of How To Delete A Card In Trello
Okay, so this is the annoying part of deleting a card in Trello. You can delete cards in Trello but you have to first archive them and then delete them.
It seems like an unnecessary step but then again, it saves customer support from having to retrieve accidentally deleted cards, I suppose.
In this day and age of doing everything at lightning speed, having to navigate to the archived items in the menu offends my first-world sensibilities…but I’m sure I’ll live :).
Now I’ll show you step by step how to delete a card in Trello:
How To Delete A Card In Trello On A Desktop:
1) Go to the card you want to delete
2) Hover over that card. You should see a drop-down list appear.
3) Right-click on that card
4) Choose the archive option. Okay so this is not the same as deleting per se but this does get the card out of sight.
5) Now look for the 3 dot menu on the right-hand side of the Trello board you are in. Click that menu and click the “archived items” option.
6) Scroll until you see the card you want to delete and click on it.
7) You should see an option to “send to board” or “delete”.
8) Click delete if you are sure you are done with that card and it should be deleted.
How To Delete A Card In Trello On The Mobile App:
1)Open the card you want to delete
2)Locate the 3 dots at the top of the cards
3)Choose the archive or delete card option depending on what you really want to do. If you want the card gone forever choose delete. If you want the card to be accessible later, choose archive.
Tip: If you want to delete a bunch of cards at once then create a new empty list, move the cards you want to delete to that new list and then just delete the list.
Tip: You can also use the card delete power-up available here. Using this will have a similar effect as the instructions above but much faster!
