How to unarchive Amazon orders?

Unarchiving an order on Amazon is much easier and simpler than archiving. All you have to do is click on the “Unarchive Order” option on the bottom left of the order, and that archived order will get back to the general orders list.  

Is there any other way to hide your Amazon Orders?

Archiving orders is the perfect way to hide your orders from anyone using your Amazon account. But it could be the more perfectly secure way. Anyone with access to your Amazon Account can simply go to archived orders and view your orders. 

Here are some other ways in which you can hide your Amazon Orders: 

Clearing your archived orders from the browsing history

Since Amazon monitors and tracks all your browsing history and other activities, you must clear these tracks to hide your archived orders. 

To do this, you will have to clear your browsing history. In doing so, Amazon will no longer show recommended products, recently viewed products, or your search history. 

You can clear your Browsing History from the tab under the “Accounts and Lists” option. Click on the Browsing History option and select Remove from View under the order you want to delete. This option will remove the browsing history of that item.

If you want to delete all the search history and activity on your Amazon account, you can do this by going to the Manage History option on the Browsing history page.

 On the next page, select “Remove all from view,” which will delete all your browsing history. 

You can select the “Turn Browsing History On/Off” option and turn it off. This will ensure that Amazon does not collect your browsing history and search activity any further. Now Amazon will not show your recently viewed products or recommendations from past purchases. 

Removing previous purchases from the “Buy Again” list on Amazon

You may have archived your orders from the general list, but that doesn’t mean the order history is deleted permanently. 

If you or someone using your Amazon Account goes to the product page of that order again, they might notice the tag “Last purchased on” on the upper side of the page. Your Buy Again list also displays your previous purchases. 

You can delete these quickly by selecting the “Buy Again” List on the Your Orders page and selecting the “Remove this item” option. This will delete your order history from the list and won’t be displayed on the product page either. 

Switching to Amazon Household Account

If you are an Amazon Prime user, this option is the easiest way to keep your orders private. 

You can opt for Amazon Household Accounts and have individual profiles for each member using your Prime Account. Each member's purchase history, orders, and search activity on Amazon will be private. 

Amazon Household accounts will display the personal information and activity on each member’s private profile. So you wouldn’t have to worry about going through all the trouble to hide your orders.
