Can you no longer archive Amazon orders?

Answered by Robert Flynn

As of my knowledge, Amazon does allow users to archive their orders. However, there is a limit of 500 orders that can be archived per account. Once you reach this limit, you won’t be able to archive any more orders.

Archiving orders on Amazon can be useful for several reasons. It helps in keeping your Orders page organized and decluttered, especially if you frequently make purchases on Amazon. Archived orders are moved to a separate section, making it easier to navigate and find recent orders.

To archive an order on Amazon, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to your Amazon account and click on “Your Orders” to view your order history.

2. Locate the order you want to archive and click on the “Archive order” button, usually found next to the order details.

3. Confirm the action when prompted. Once confirmed, the order will be moved to your archived orders section.

It’s important to note that archiving an order on Amazon doesn’t delete it; it simply hides it from your main Orders page. If you ever need to access archived orders, you can do so by clicking on the “Archived orders” link, usually located at the top or bottom of your Orders page.

It’s worth mentioning that while Amazon allows you to archive orders, there is no option to delete orders completely from your account. This is because Amazon keeps a record of all your past orders for various reasons, such as customer service, returns, and warranty claims.

If you are looking to remove specific items from your Amazon browsing history, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Go to your Amazon account and click on “Browsing History” under the “Accounts & Lists” dropdown menu.

2. Locate the item you want to remove and click on the “Remove from view” button, usually represented by a crossed-out eye icon.

3. Confirm the removal when prompted. The item will no longer be visible in your browsing history.

Removing items from your browsing history can be helpful if you want to declutter your recommendations or if you don’t want others to see your recent searches and viewed products.

While Amazon does allow users to archive orders, there is a limit of 500 orders that can be archived per account. Archiving orders helps in keeping your Orders page organized, but it doesn’t delete the orders from your account.
