Did you know that you can hide your Amazon orders from your account history? If you bought something from Amazon, and you share an account with family members or someone else, you can hide the order if you don’t want them to find out about it.

Hiding an Amazon order is ideal for people who love to create surprises for their loved ones or may want to maintain their privacy even within their household.

Can you Delete or Remove the Items you Purchased from your Amazon Account Order History?

Can you delete an Amazon purchase from the order history? Unfortunately, you cannot delete a purchased item from your account history. You only have the option to hide or archive the items you buy but not remove them from your account trail permanently.

Archiving your Amazon orders means that you remove them from view on your order page. Previous orders will be reflected on the order page. But, if you don’t want it there, you can flag it as done and archive it.

Amazon allows users to archive up to 500 orders. When archiving an Amazon order, it will be transferred to the Archived Orders page and removed from your default order page to keep it private.

However, keep in mind that when someone sharing your account knows how archives work, they will be able to access it. The archived orders will also appear on specific searches on the order page.

If you want to archive several orders you made on Amazon, let’s check out the steps below.
