On Plus and Max the board goes to the trash for 30 days. Basic has no trash: the board is deleted for good, and the call insists on `?permanent=true` so that cannot happen by accident. `?permanent=true` also empties a board out of the trash on any plan.

### Authorization

- `Authorization` (string, required): `Bearer <key>`. The key needs `boards:write` scope. Create and manage keys in the [developer console](/developers/console/); what each scope unlocks is on the [scopes page](/developers/concepts/scopes).

### Path parameters

- `boardId` (string, required)

### Query parameters

- `permanent` (boolean): Defaults to `false`.

### Response

- `No body`: Trashed, or deleted for good.

### Errors

- 409 `conflict`: Basic without permanent=true, or the board is already in the trash.
- 429 `rate_limited`: Too many requests.
