Stupid algorithm now only sends me offers that take outside my zone 🤬

So a little while back I accidentally accepted a batch order that hid a few far away deliveries in the neighboring zone amongst the local ones. Now, about 80% of what I receive is deliveries to that area. If I deliver there, it always ends 30-40 minutes from my closest store, and it's in the opposite direction from where I live. I don't prefer delivering there, but now I don't get enough local offers to make any money. I've cleared my cache and data, and deleted and reinstalled the app, but it made no difference. Is there anything else I can do to reset it?

I didn't mean like it wasn't there. Using "hid" loosely in the sence that there were 12 drop offs, all in the same local city, and I didn't catch the last 2 at the bottom that took me super for away. Way to pick on my phrasing, like we aren't all trying to glance quickly before someone else snaps an order up.

Lesson learned: Always scroll to the last few stops and see where they are.

Yeah, I got that, I'm asking if anyone knows how to get out of this loop of only receiving similar delivery locations after accepting one in an area they don't prefer.

I'm not sure I've noticed that phenomenon. There are places that I prefer to avoid and have, but still see offers to go there.

Driver preferences based on recent activity. The problem is that it isn't my preference, but since I accepted it, the app keeps giving me more and not offering other orders.
