It’s useful to know how to view any orders you’ve archived in case you ever want to place another order from them. Finding your archived orders, meanwhile, can be somewhat difficult on Amazon.
Fortunately, locating them is really simple; all you need to do is follow a few simple instructions. Let’s look at how to view your previously placed Amazon orders.
How Do Archived Orders Work?

4. Next to the order in question, click Order Details.
5. Then select Archive Order.
6. To confirm, click Archive Order once again.

How to Find Your Archived Orders on Amazon
You still have access to your past orders, so don’t worry. They will always be there, as was previously stated, even if you deactivate your Amazon account.
To get to the past orders:
- Enter your Amazon account information.
- Select Accounts & Lists from the dropdown menu in the top-right area.
3. From the dropdown menu, select Your Account.
4. In the area labelled Ordering and shopping preferences, click Archived orders.
Simply click “Unarchive Order” in the lower left-hand corner to return your order to the regular orders page. You don’t need to confirm this since after you select the option, your order will return to its proper location in the orders tab.
How to Hide Your Amazon Search History
While the aforementioned technique would remove your orders from the list of your “recent orders,” your Amazon browsing history will still display your searches, making it simple for someone to spy on your orders.
Log into your account and then look for the “Browsing History” option in the top-right corner of the Amazon homepage to remove your browsing history. If you’re having difficulties finding this link, use Ctrl + F to search the current page for the term “browsing history.”
You can view a list of recently conducted searches by selecting this option. To see the dropdown menu, you might need to select “Manage History” in the top right corner. For each thing you want to delete from the search history, click “Remove from view.”
The “Browsing History” feature can easily be disabled by switching the switch from orange to grey.
