You can delete your own Amazon review in two minutes from your account page
Amazon lets you remove any review you wrote yourself. The process is straightforward: log into your Amazon account, find the review in your account history, and click the delete button. Amazon will remove it permanently within a few hours. You cannot delete reviews that other people wrote about your products, and you cannot delete a review after you have edited it more than a certain number of times — but for a standard deletion of your own review, the steps are simple and work every time.
The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are on a computer or phone, but both routes take less than a minute once you are logged in.
Key Takeaways
- You can only delete reviews that you personally wrote, not reviews written by other customers.
- On a computer, go to Your Account, select Reviews, find the review you want to remove, and click the three-dot menu to delete it.
- On a phone or tablet, use the Amazon app or mobile website and follow the same path through Your Account and Reviews.
- Deleted reviews disappear from the product page within a few hours, though the deletion itself is instant on your end.
Deleting a review on a computer
Start by going to Amazon.com and signing into your account. In the top right corner, click the account icon or your name, then select "Your Account" from the dropdown menu.
On the Your Account page, look for a section called "Reviews" or "Your Reviews" — it is usually in the left sidebar or under a "Purchases and reviews" heading. Click on it. You will see a list of all the reviews you have written, organized by product and date.
Find the review you want to delete and look for a three-dot menu icon (⋯) on the right side of that review. Click it. A small menu will appear with options including "Delete review." Click that option. Amazon will ask you to confirm — click "Delete" again, and the review is gone from your account immediately. It will stop showing on the product page within a few hours.
Deleting a review on a phone or tablet
Open the Amazon app or go to Amazon.com in your phone's browser and sign in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner of the app, or in the top left if you are using the mobile website.
Tap "Your Account" or "Account," then look for "Reviews" or "Your Reviews." Tap it to see the list of reviews you have written. Find the one you want to delete and tap the three-dot menu icon next to it. Select "Delete review" from the menu and confirm the deletion. The review will disappear from your account right away and from the product page within a few hours.
What happens after you delete a review
Once you confirm the deletion, the review is removed from your account page immediately. However, it may take a few hours for Amazon's system to remove it from the product page itself, so do not be alarmed if you see it still there for a short time. Refresh the product page after an hour or two and it should be gone.
After deletion, you can write a new review for the same product whenever you want. Amazon does not prevent you from reviewing a product multiple times — you just cannot have more than one active review for the same product at the same time. If you delete a review and then write a new one, the new review will replace the old one in the system.
Reasons you might not be able to delete a review
In rare cases, you may not see a delete option for a review. This usually happens if the review is part of an active dispute or return case — Amazon locks reviews while a transaction is being investigated. Once the case closes, the delete option will return.
You also cannot delete a review if Amazon has flagged it as part of a policy violation investigation. If you see a message saying the review cannot be deleted, check your email for any notices from Amazon about the review. If you believe the restriction is a mistake, you can contact Amazon Customer Service through your account and explain the situation.
Editing a review instead of deleting it
If you want to change what your review says rather than remove it entirely, you can edit it instead. On the review in your account, look for an "Edit" option next to the three-dot menu. Click or tap it, make your changes, and save. Edited reviews keep the same timestamp as the original, so readers will see when you first posted it, not when you made changes.
Editing is useful if you want to correct a mistake, add new information, or change your rating without losing the review entirely. The edit takes effect immediately on your account and within a few hours on the product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I delete a review someone else wrote about my product?
No. You can only delete reviews that you personally wrote. If someone posted a review about a product you sell or own, you cannot delete it yourself. You can report it to Amazon if it violates their review policies — for example, if it contains false information, harassment, or spam — and Amazon will investigate.
Will deleting my review affect my Amazon account or seller rating?
Deleting a review does not harm your account or rating. If you are a seller, removing a review you wrote as a customer does not change your seller metrics. Amazon tracks reviews separately from account standing.
How long does it take for a deleted review to disappear from the product page?
The deletion is instant on your end, but it can take a few hours for the review to stop showing on the product page. This is because Amazon's system needs time to sync the change across all its servers. If you still see it after several hours, try refreshing your browser or clearing your cache.
Can I delete a review if I have already edited it multiple times?
Yes. There is no limit on how many times you can edit a review before deleting it. The delete option remains available regardless of how many edits you have made.
What if I accidentally deleted a review and want it back?
Amazon does not restore deleted reviews. Once you confirm the deletion, it is permanent. If you want to share your thoughts about the product again, you will need to write a new review from scratch.
