On Amazon, open Your Profile > Reviews, tap the three dots on your review, and pick Delete to remove it.
Cleaning up a product comment you posted is straightforward once you know where the controls live. The delete link isn’t on the order page; it sits on your public profile under the Reviews tab. Below you’ll find quick paths for web and mobile, step-by-step instructions, and fixes if the delete option isn’t showing. You’ll also see when editing is smarter than removal and how reporting works for posts you didn’t write. Follow the path that matches your device and you’ll be done in under a minute.
Delete A Review On Amazon: Quick Paths
Here are the fastest routes to reach the delete control on each platform. Use the one that matches how you shop.
| Platform | Path | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Web (Desktop/Laptop) | Amazon.com > Account & Lists > Your Account > Profile > Reviews | Three dots ⋯ > Delete |
| iPhone/iPad App | ☰ Menu > Your Stuff > Profile > Reviews | Three dots ⋯ > Delete |
| Android App | ☰ Menu > Your Stuff > Profile > Reviews | Three dots ⋯ > Delete |
Step-By-Step On Desktop
Use these steps on a computer when you’re signed in to your account.
- Go to Amazon in a browser and sign in.
- Select Account & Lists in the top bar, then choose Your Account.
- Open Profile. This shows your public activity.
- Choose the Reviews tab. You’ll see every product comment you’ve posted.
- Find the item entry. Click the three dots (⋯) next to it.
- Pick Delete. Confirm when prompted.
Deletion is instant for your profile. Search pages and product detail sections may take a short time to refresh, but your comment is removed from your account right away.
Steps On The Amazon App
On phones and tablets the controls are tucked under your profile. The wording can vary a little by region, but the flow is the same on iOS and Android.
iPhone And iPad
- Open the app and sign in.
- Tap the ☰ menu, then choose Your Stuff (or Profile in some builds).
- Open Profile and switch to Reviews.
- Find the post, tap the three dots (⋯), then choose Delete.
- Confirm. The entry disappears from your profile list.
Android Phones And Tablets
- Launch the app and sign in.
- Tap the ☰ menu > Your Stuff > Profile.
- Open Reviews, tap the three dots (⋯) on the post, and select Delete.
- Approve the prompt. The post is gone from your profile.
Edit Vs Delete: Which Choice Makes Sense
Both options sit behind the same three-dot menu. Pick the one that fits your situation.
When Editing Helps
- You posted too soon and want to add long-term notes.
- A seller fixed a defect and you want to update the star rating and text.
- There’s a typo or a missing photo that changes meaning.
Editing keeps the comment tied to its original date, and it preserves the thread if others reacted. If your view has changed, add a short update line at the top so readers grasp the timeline.
When Removal Is Better
- You reviewed the wrong product variant or the wrong listing.
- You shared private details or order numbers that shouldn’t be public.
- You decided you don’t want that post on your profile anymore.
If privacy is the reason, act quickly. Delete the text and any images, then check your public profile to confirm nothing sensitive remains.
Official Rules You Should Know
Amazon’s house rules ban paid or compensated ratings outside of approved programs, and they restrict content that strays from product-related experience. If your post crosses those lines, moderation can remove it without notice. For the full wording, see the Community Guidelines. For the basic actions you can take yourself (edit or remove), the flow is shown in Edit Your Reviews.
Sellers and brands don’t control your post, and customer service won’t scrub a comment just because it’s negative. Removals tend to happen when a post breaks a clear rule, when it’s not about the product, or when incentives are involved.
If You Can’t Find The Delete Option
Missing menu items usually trace back to access, app version, or location. Try these quick fixes.
Quick Checks
- Confirm you’re signed in on the same account that wrote the post.
- Switch devices: move from app to browser or vice versa.
- Update the app so the Profile layout matches current builds.
- Use the regional site where you posted. A review on .co.uk won’t show on .com.
Fallback Route On Web
- Open your public profile URL in a browser.
- Click Reviews.
- Use the three dots (⋯) > Delete.
If none of those work, remove the text content by editing the post to a brief note, save, then try the delete control again. That avoids leaving sensitive details visible while you troubleshoot.
Can You Remove Someone Else’s Review?
You can’t delete a post written by another shopper. You can flag it for moderation when it breaks site rules. Every product comment has a Report abuse link under the text. Use that to send a short note that points to the rule it breaks. Keep the note factual. Claims about price, shipping speed, or seller service belong in seller feedback, not a product comment. Posts focused on that can be flagged on the product page.
For Sellers And Brand Owners
Stick to the same Report abuse link. Avoid requests that ask a buyer to edit or delete in exchange for refunds or freebies. That kind of messaging can lead to account action. If a post contains order-specific details or personal data, flag it and cite the privacy angle. That tends to get swift attention.
What Happens After You Remove It
Once you delete your own post, the text and star rating no longer appear on your profile or the product page. Caches can linger for a short window, especially on mobile, but the entry is gone from your activity list right away. If the listing had only a handful of ratings, the average may shift after the next refresh. That’s normal math, not a penalty. If you added customer images, those disappear with the post.
Common Scenarios And Fixes
| Scenario | What You Can Do | Where To Click |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong item variant reviewed | Edit text to clarify, or remove and rewrite on the correct listing | Profile > Reviews > ⋯ > Edit or Delete |
| Posted sensitive info | Delete at once; if you can’t, edit to blank it, then remove | Profile > Reviews > ⋯ > Delete |
| Another shopper’s post breaks rules | Report it with a short note that cites the rule | Product page > Review > Report abuse |
| Star rating changed after a fix | Edit to reflect the update; add a one-line “Update” at the top | Profile > Reviews > ⋯ > Edit |
| App menu looks different | Update the app or switch to the website | App store update or Browser > Your Account |
| Review on a different region site | Sign in on the region where you posted and delete there | Regional site > Profile > Reviews |
Write Posts That Won’t Get Removed
A clear, product-focused entry stays up and helps shoppers. Keep your text about the item you bought and how it worked. Mention the model, capacity, size, or flavor so your note lines up with the right variant. Add photos that show the detail you care about: fit, finish, cable length, label, or app screen. Skip links and promo codes. If you got a replacement, add a dated line to explain the change.
Helpful Structure That Readers Love
- Setup: your use case and the variant you bought.
- Good: what worked in daily use.
- Gaps: what didn’t hold up.
- Tip: one thing you wish you knew before buying.
That four-part structure keeps your post useful and avoids moderation headaches. It also makes it easy to update later without starting over.
Troubleshooting: Quick Answers
The Review Is Gone, But The Star Still Shows
Product pages can cache totals for a short time. Give it a little while and refresh. If you still see your text live under the listing, you likely removed a different entry or deleted on a different region site. Check your profile again to confirm.
I Edited, Now The Post Won’t Delete
Switch devices and try the web route. If the menu still refuses to load, clear browser cache or reinstall the app. In rare cases a temporary glitch can hide menu items; the browser flow usually works.
Someone Offered A Gift Card To Change My Rating
Report that message. Incentives tied to ratings are not allowed. Flag the offer and avoid any back-and-forth with the sender. Your profile and account health come first.
Final Checks Before You Hit Delete
- Capture a copy if you might want to repost later.
- Scan for personal data in photos or screenshots.
- If your view changed due to a fix, editing might serve shoppers better than wiping the post.
- If another person’s entry crosses a clear rule, use Report abuse with a short, factual note.
With those checks done, head to your profile, open the Reviews tab, and use the three-dot menu. A few taps and your comment is off the page.
