Pinterest Bulk Pin Deleter by Board

WHAT IT DOES

Pinterest Bulk Pin Deleter by Board is a precision tool that transforms your Pinterest board management by enabling rapid, selective deletion of multiple pins at once. Instead of opening each pin individually and clicking through confirmation dialogs, this userscript presents all pins on your current board as a scrollable checklist with thumbnails and descriptions. You can select individual pins, use Select All/Deselect All toggles, and delete your selected pins in configurable batches. Each deletion batch processes pins sequentially, respecting Pinterest's UI rate limits, and includes optional confirmation prompts before each batch to prevent accidental data loss. The tool displays real-time progress, shows how many pins are selected, and automatically refreshes the pin list after deletion to reflect your updated board.

WHERE IT RUNS

This script operates exclusively within the Pinterest website (*.pinterest.com) as a userscript injected into your browser's page context. It runs inside a single web page tab—it cannot see other tabs, bookmarks, history, or downloads. The script reads the current page's DOM to identify pin containers, extracts pin metadata (thumbnails, descriptions, URLs), and interacts with Pinterest's existing UI elements (action buttons, delete menus, confirmation modals) to perform deletions. It uses the BotGentz extension's BGPanel API to render a draggable, collapsible panel overlay on the page. No data leaves your browser; all operations occur locally within your current session.

HOW TO USE

1. Navigate to any Pinterest board page (e.g., https://www.pinterest.com/yourusername/boardname/).

2. Click the BotGentz extension icon and select "Pinterest Bulk Pin Deleter by Board" from the script list.

3. The panel opens on the right side of the page. It automatically scans the board and displays all pins as a checklist with thumbnails and descriptions.

4. Check the boxes next to pins you wish to delete. Use "Select All" or "Deselect All" for quick selection.

5. Adjust the "Batch size" number (default 10) to control how many pins are processed per delete cycle—useful for avoiding Pinterest's rate-limiting.

6. Toggle "Confirm before each deletion" if you want a confirmation popup before each batch executes.

7. Click "Delete Selected Pins" to begin. The tool processes pins in batches, shows progress, and skips any pin where the delete button is not found.

8. After completion, the pin list automatically refreshes showing your updated board.

WHY IT WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL

Most browser extensions and bookmarklets attempt to delete Pinterest pins by simulating mouse events or directly calling Pinterest's internal JavaScript functions—both of which break whenever Pinterest updates its React component tree or event handlers. This script takes a different approach: it locates the actual DOM elements that Pinterest renders for its "More" button and "Delete" menu item, then uses native click() events on those elements. Because it interacts with the same visual controls a human would click, it remains resilient to framework changes. The script also waits for dynamic modals to appear before clicking confirmation buttons, and it dispatches both "input" and "change" events on any form fields—a requirement for React and Vue applications to register state changes. By spacing operations with setTimeout delays (300ms between actions) and capping concurrent operations at 4 per batch, it avoids triggering Pinterest's anti-bot detection while still completing deletion tasks efficiently.

THE PANEL

The script uses BotGentz's BGPanel system, which provides a floating, draggable panel on the right side of your screen. You can drag the panel by its header to reposition it anywhere on the page. The panel remembers its position per site and snaps to the nearest edge when released. Collapse the panel to a small floating bubble by clicking the minimize button—the bubble shows an emoji icon and expands back when clicked. Resize the panel vertically by dragging its bottom edge. Press the Escape key to close the panel entirely. All panel state (position, collapsed/expanded) is persisted locally using GM_setValue, so your preferences survive page reloads.

PLEASE NOTE

This userscript requires the free BotGentz browser extension to function—it is not a standalone application. Pinterest periodically updates its website layout, class names, and UI element identifiers; if the script stops working, an updated version may be released by the developer. This script does not store, transmit, or process any of your Pinterest data outside your local browser. It does not access your password, hidden inputs, or file inputs. All deletions are performed through Pinterest's own authenticated session—you remain logged in and in control. Use this tool responsibly and always review your selection before confirming deletion, as removed pins cannot be recovered through this tool (Pinterest's own recovery options may apply).
