# Delete Whiteboard

When a whiteboard is no longer relevant, you can delete it to keep your workspace organized and free of unnecessary boards. Deleting a whiteboard is a permanent action, so it’s important to ensure you no longer need it before proceeding.

Deleting a whiteboard does not remove any YouTrack issues, articles, or other linked items. All associated issues and articles remain available in their respective projects or the knowledge base.
