Can You Delete Your Order History on Amazon?\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t a way to delete your order history on Amazon. Amazon doesn\u2019t allow you to completely delete your order history, as it keeps a record of everything you\u2019ve ever bought from the site. This includes any orders that you\u2019ve cancelled or previously returned to Amazon<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some workarounds can help you hide your Amazon orders<\/a> from prying eyes. The best method is to archive your orders instead, which hides them from view (but doesn\u2019t delete them). You can also try other methods, such as using an Amazon household account or even deleting your account.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Archive Your Amazon Orders\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned, the best method for deleting your order history isn\u2019t deleting them at all\u2014it\u2019s archiving them. Archiving an order doesn\u2019t delete it, but it moves it to a separate page that remains less visible, but still accessible. You can archive up to 500 orders per account.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the items are only hidden, it isn\u2019t a foolproof method, as anyone who knows how to access the archived orders page can still see them. If you bought something that you don\u2019t want others who share your account to see, archiving it might not be enough to stop them seeing it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want to archive your Amazon order, follow these steps.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Press Returns & Orders<\/span> in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
