You can delete your Uber account through the app or website, and the process takes a few minutes
Removing your Uber account is straightforward. You sign into your account, go to settings, and select the option to delete. Uber will ask you to confirm, and after you do, your account and associated data are scheduled for removal. The entire process happens in the app or on the website — you do not need to call anyone or visit an office.
Once you request deletion, Uber typically removes your account within 30 days. During that waiting period, you can still sign back in and cancel the deletion if you change your mind. After 30 days, the account is gone permanently, along with your ride history, saved addresses, payment methods, and profile information.
Key Takeaways
- You can delete your account from the Uber app by going to Account settings, then Help, then Delete Account.
- On the Uber website, sign in, click your profile picture, select Account, then scroll to Delete Account.
- Uber gives you 30 days to change your mind after you request deletion — you can cancel the deletion by signing back in during that window.
- After 30 days, your account, ride history, and payment information are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
- If you have an active Uber Eats account linked to the same email, deleting your Uber account will not affect it.
Deleting your account through the Uber app
Open the Uber app and tap the icon in the bottom right corner that shows your profile picture or initials. This takes you to your account menu. Tap "Account" to see your account settings.
Scroll down until you see "Help." Tap it, then look for "Delete Account" in the list of options. Tap "Delete Account" and read through the information Uber shows you about what will happen. Uber will explain that your data will be removed and that you have 30 days to change your mind.
Tap the button to confirm deletion. Uber may ask you why you are leaving — you can fill this out or skip it. After you confirm, you will see a message saying your account is scheduled for deletion. You are done. Your account will be gone in 30 days.
Deleting your account on the Uber website
Go to uber.com and sign in with your email and password. Click the profile picture or icon in the top right corner of the page. A menu will drop down. Click "Account."
You are now on your account settings page. Scroll all the way to the bottom. You will see a section labeled "Delete Account" with a red button or link. Click it. Uber will show you the same information about deletion and the 30-day window.
Click to confirm that you want to delete your account. You may see a survey asking why you are leaving — you can complete it or skip it. Once you confirm, your deletion request is submitted. You will receive an email confirming that your account is scheduled for removal.
What happens during the 30-day waiting period
After you request deletion, your account enters a 30-day grace period. During this time, you can still sign in with your email and password. Your ride history, saved addresses, and payment methods are still there. If you change your mind, you can cancel the deletion by signing in and selecting the option to keep your account.
You cannot use Uber to request rides or place food orders during this period. The app will show a message that your account is scheduled for deletion. If you try to book a ride, you will be prompted to either cancel the deletion or proceed with it.
After 30 days pass, Uber permanently removes your account. You cannot recover your ride history, ratings, or saved information. If you want to use Uber again after that point, you will need to create a new account with the same or a different email address.
What data gets deleted and what stays
When your Uber account is deleted, Uber removes your profile information, ride history, saved addresses, and payment methods. Your name, phone number, email, and rating are all deleted. Any photos you uploaded to your profile are removed.
If you have an Uber Eats account linked to the same email address, deleting your Uber account does not automatically delete Uber Eats. You would need to delete Uber Eats separately if you want both gone. The two accounts are separate, even though they use the same login email.
Uber may keep some information for legal or safety reasons — for example, records related to disputes or safety reports may be retained longer than 30 days. However, this information is not tied to your account and is not visible to you.
Canceling your deletion request before it is final
If you delete your account but then decide you want to keep it, you have until the end of the 30-day period to change your mind. Sign into the Uber app or website using your email and password. You will see a message or notification that your account is scheduled for deletion.
Look for an option to "Cancel Deletion" or "Keep Account." Click or tap it, and confirm that you want to stop the deletion process. Your account will return to normal, and you can use Uber again when ready. Your ride history and saved information will still be there.
After you cancel the deletion, your account works exactly as it did before. You will not lose any data or have to set anything up again.
If you cannot find the delete option
If you are looking for the delete account option and cannot find it, make sure you are signed into the correct account. Some users have multiple Uber accounts if they signed up with different email addresses. Check that you are using the email address for the account you want to delete.
If you are still having trouble, try logging out completely and logging back in. Sometimes the app needs to refresh to show all menu options. If you are using an older version of the Uber app, update it from your phone's app store — older versions may not have the delete option visible.
If the delete option still does not appear, you can contact Uber through the Help section in the app. Go to Account, then Help, then scroll to the bottom and look for "Contact Us." Explain that you want to delete your account, and Uber's support team can walk you through it or delete it for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will deleting my Uber account affect my Uber Eats account?
No. Uber and Uber Eats are separate accounts, even though they share the same email login. Deleting your Uber account will not delete Uber Eats. If you want to remove both, you need to delete each one separately through its own app or website.
Can I use the same email to create a new Uber account after deletion?
Yes. After your account is permanently deleted (30 days after you request it), you can sign up for Uber again using the same email address. You will start fresh with no ride history or saved information.
What if I have an active Uber ride or delivery when I delete my account?
You cannot delete your account while a ride or delivery is in progress. You must cancel or complete any active orders first. Once all rides and deliveries are finished, you can then request account deletion.
Will my driver rating disappear when ready when I delete my account?
If you are an Uber driver, deleting your account removes your driver rating and history. However, driver accounts have additional requirements and may take longer to delete than passenger accounts. Contact Uber support through the driver app for specific timing.
Can someone else delete my Uber account for me?
No. Only the account owner can request deletion. You must sign in with your own email and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" option to reset it before you can delete the account.
