Summary

When I wanted to do a bulk cleanup of old unwanted Trello boards there was no easy way to do this in the native Trello Apps. To delete multiple boards, each one needed to be closed individually and in two separate operations (close, delete). This was slow and tedious.
This web app allows you to quickly and easily delete multiple Trello boards in one step.

Technologies

This project is built with JavaScript and uses Axios to query the Trello REST API

Instructions

• Clone this repo to your local machine.
• Log into Trello (web) and find out your own private API key and token
• Create a new empty keys.js file in your new local project directory.
• Save your key and token in your keys.js file, Assigned to two variables: myKey and myToken
• Launch index.html in your browser.

Note: As a safety feature, starred boards cannot be deleted.
If you want to delete starred boards you need to unstar them in Trello first. Alternatively, edit the code to disable this feature.

trello-delete-app's Issues

Page refreshes but does not delete.

I have multiple accounts that use a powerup for backups. the powerup malfunctioned and created hundreds of boards on the accounts.
I used this up successfully on one account and it worked perfectly. but on other accounts that are on a different workspace the app sees the boards I choose them all (around 190) and press delete the app thinks for a while but then it refreshes and nothing was deleted. tried doing it for just a small bulk each time and it refreshes a lot faster but no effect on the boards...
