"Barry, where's there?"
"My Earth, Earth-90. I've traveled from there to warn you.
"
Oliver Queen and Barry Allen[src]

Earth-90[1][2][3][4] was one of the many "Earths" in the multiverse.

History

In late 2018, Mar Novu/The Monitor ravaged the Earth of this universe and then used the Book of Destiny to massacre all its inhabitants, leaving Barry Allen as the only known survivor.[1][2][3][4]

Assuming the universe was just dead like Earth-15 instead of destroyed by The Monitor, on December 10, 2019 during the crisis, it was destroyed by the Antimatter wave.
