The correct idiom is "couldn't care less".

Many people are confused about this expression, but if you think about it for a few seconds you're trying to express the sentiment that you don't care at all. If you could care less, that means you still have some remaining care - i.e. the exact opposite of not caring at all !!

The correct phrase is "couldn't care less." This means that you have zero interest or concern about something. Saying "could care less" implies that you do have some level of interest or concern, which is the opposite of the intended meaning.

Could care less or couldn't care less?

I couldn't care less, is correct, "I could care less" is sensless because if you could care less that means you care at least a little, while the original "I couldn't care less" meant "It would be impossible for me to care less than I do because I do not care at all". " I could care less" has become popular to say but is in fact nonsense.
