We have all had embarrassing Amazon purchases we would prefer the outside world to never know of.

Hide Orders on Amazon in a Few Easy Steps (2021)
The ability to hide orders is limited to the Amazon website. You can’t archive your purchases from Amazon’s mobile app. Hence, make sure you follow these steps from your PC or mobile through a browser. That said, here’s what you should do to archive an Amazon order.
How to Archive Your Amazon Order
1. Sign in to your Amazon account on the web and click on ‘Returns & Orders’ from the top-right corner of the screen.
2. From the list of purchases available under the ‘Your Orders’ section, locate the order you would like to hide and click on ‘Archive order’.
3. When the confirmation prompt appears, click on ‘Archive order’ again. You have successfully archived the order, and it will no longer show up in your Amazon order history.
How to Unarchive Your Amazon Order
1. If you would like to see the hidden purchase back in the complete list of your Amazon orders, click on ‘Account & Lists’ from the homepage and choose ‘Your Account’ from the dropdown menu.
2. Click on the ‘Archived orders’ section to manage your archived orders. Notably, you may not see the archived orders section on Amazon India. However, you can use this direct link to browse all your hidden orders.
3. Next to the product listing, you will now see the ‘Unarchive Order’ button. Click on it, and your order will get listed again in your Amazon order history.
