Having the default behavior, Magento provides and displays a long list of links on the customer account page. Sometimes we need to customize this default links inclusion as not all links are needed. Often it’s needed to remove a couple of links, for example, My Product Reviews or Billing Agreements.
Below is a pile of default links on the customer account screen:
- Account Dashboard
- Account Information
- Address Book
- My Downloadable Products
- My Orders
- Newsletter Subscriptions
- Stored Payment Methods
- My Product Reviews
- Billing Agreements
- My Wish List
In order to remove customer links we from Aureate Labs suggest some quick steps to get rid of unnecessary links:
- Step 1: Create a custom extension or theme and override the customer layout file
- Step 2: Use a tag to remove any extra links from my account
- Step 3: Clear cache and check the My Account page
Step 1: Create a custom extension or theme and override customer layout file
Create an extension and override the layout XML fileapp/design/frontend/[Namespace]/[Theme]/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account.xml
Step 2: Use a tag to remove any extra link from my account
Just need to use a tag to remove extra links from my account.

The link which we have removed using tag remove=”true” will no longer be displayed on your “my account page”.
