You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website, but the process is permanent and you cannot undo it
Deleting your Uber Eats account removes your profile, payment methods, order history, and saved addresses from Uber Eats' servers. Once deleted, you cannot recover the account or any information stored in it. If you have an active order or ongoing delivery, you must cancel it before deletion. The account deletion itself takes a few minutes to complete, but Uber may take several days to fully remove your data from their systems.
You do not need to contact Uber support to delete your account — you can do it yourself through the app or website. However, if you have outstanding charges, refund requests, or disputes with a driver, resolving those first will make the deletion process smoother.
Key Takeaways
- Account deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed, so read your order history if you need it for tax or personal records before you delete.
- You must cancel any active orders before you can delete your account.
- Deleting your Uber Eats account does not delete your Uber (ride-sharing) account if you have one — they are separate.
- The deletion request processes when ready in the app, but Uber may take several business days to remove all your data from their systems.
How to delete your account through the Uber Eats app
Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon (usually a person silhouette) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down to find "Settings" or "Account Settings" and tap it. Look for an option labeled "Delete Account" or "Close Account" — the exact wording varies by phone type and app version. Tap that option.
The app will ask you to confirm your choice and may ask why you are deleting the account. You can skip the reason or select one from the list. Tap the final confirmation button. The app will show a message confirming the deletion request has been sent. At this point, your account is scheduled for deletion.
How to delete your account through the Uber Eats website
Go to ubereats.com and sign in with your email and password. Click on your account icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings." Scroll down the page until you find "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Click that link.
The website will ask you to confirm your choice. You may see a reason dropdown or a text box asking why you are leaving. You can leave this blank or fill it in. Click the final confirmation button. The website will show a message confirming your deletion request has been processed.
What happens to your data after deletion
Uber Eats removes your profile, saved payment methods, delivery addresses, and order history from the app and website when ready. However, Uber's servers may retain some information for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes for a period of time. This retained data is not visible to you or accessible through the app.
If you have an outstanding refund or a dispute with a driver, Uber may keep records related to that case even after your account is deleted. If you are concerned about a specific transaction, contact Uber support before you delete your account to resolve it.
Difference between deleting Uber Eats and deleting your Uber account
Uber Eats and Uber (the ride-sharing service) are separate accounts, even if they share the same email address and payment method. Deleting your Uber Eats account does not delete your Uber account, and vice versa. If you use Uber for rides and want to keep that account, deleting Uber Eats will not affect it.
If you want to delete both accounts, you must delete them separately. Go through the Uber app or website using the same steps, but look for the ride-sharing account settings instead of Uber Eats settings.
What to do before you delete your account
Cancel any active orders. If you have a delivery in progress, you cannot delete your account until the order is completed or cancelled. Open the app, find the active order, and tap "Cancel Order." Wait for the cancellation to process before you attempt to delete your account.
read or save your order history if you need it. Uber Eats does not provide an automatic read of your full order history, but you can take screenshots of past orders in the app before deletion. If you need records for taxes or business purposes, do this before you delete.
Resolve any refund requests or disputes. If you have an open case with Uber support about a missing item, overcharge, or driver issue, resolve it before deletion. Once your account is deleted, you cannot file new claims or track existing ones.
If you want to pause instead of delete
If you are not sure whether you want to delete permanently, you can pause your account instead. In Account Settings, look for "Pause Account" or "Deactivate Account" — this option hides your profile and stops notifications without permanently deleting your data. You can reactivate a paused account by signing back in.
A paused account keeps your payment methods, addresses, and order history intact. If you change your mind about leaving Uber Eats, you can straightforward open the app and resume ordering. This is useful if you are taking a break but may want to use the service again later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion after I confirm it?
No. Once you confirm the deletion, your account is permanently removed and cannot be recovered. If you want to use Uber Eats again, you must create a new account with the same or a different email address.
Will deleting my account remove me from Uber's marketing emails?
Yes. Deletion removes your email from Uber Eats' mailing list. However, if you have an active Uber (ride-sharing) account, you may still receive emails from that service.
What if I have a pending refund when I delete?
Contact Uber support before you delete to confirm the refund status. Once your account is deleted, you cannot track refunds or file new claims. If a refund is in progress, wait for it to complete before deletion.
Do I need to delete my payment method before I delete my account?
No. Deleting your account automatically removes all saved payment methods. You do not need to remove them separately.
Can I delete my account if I have an outstanding balance?
You may be able to delete your account even with an outstanding balance, but Uber may pursue collection on that balance separately. If you have unpaid charges, contact support to resolve them before deletion.
