You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website in about two minutes

To delete your Uber Eats account, open the app or go to ubereats.com, sign in, go to your account settings, and select the option to delete or deactivate your account. Uber will ask you to confirm the deletion. Once you confirm, your account, order history, saved addresses, and payment methods are removed. The process is permanent — you cannot undo it after confirmation.

If you have an active order or a scheduled delivery when you try to delete, you will need to cancel it first. Uber Eats will not let you proceed with deletion while an order is in progress.

Key Takeaways

  • Account deletion is permanent and removes your order history, saved addresses, and payment information from Uber Eats.
  • You must cancel any active or scheduled orders before you can delete your account.
  • The deletion process takes about two minutes and can be done from the mobile app or the website.
  • If you only want to stop using the app temporarily, you can deactivate your account instead, which keeps your data intact.

Steps to delete your account on the Uber Eats app

Open the Uber Eats app and sign in to your account. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner, then tap your profile picture or initials at the top. Select "Account" from the menu.

Scroll down to the bottom of the Account page and tap "Delete Account." Uber Eats will show you a confirmation screen explaining that deletion is permanent. Read the message, then tap "Delete Account" again to confirm. You may be asked to enter your password or verify your identity before the deletion is final.

Steps to delete your account on the Uber Eats website

Go to ubereats.com and sign in. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu. On the Account page, scroll to the bottom and click "Delete Account."

A popup will appear warning you that deletion is permanent and will remove all your data. Click "Delete Account" to confirm. You may need to enter your password or complete a verification step before the deletion is processed.

What happens to your data when you delete your account

When you delete your Uber Eats account, Uber removes your profile, order history, saved addresses, and payment methods from the Uber Eats system. You will no longer receive order confirmations, delivery updates, or promotional emails from Uber Eats.

If you have an Uber account (for rides) separate from Uber Eats, deleting your Uber Eats account does not affect your Uber ride account. The two are linked but separate, and you can delete one without deleting the other. However, if you use the same email and password for both, you will still be able to sign into your Uber ride account.

Deactivating your account instead of deleting it

If you are not sure whether you want to delete your account permanently, you can deactivate it instead. Deactivation temporarily hides your account and stops delivery notifications, but keeps your data on file. You can reactivate a deactivated account by signing in again.

To deactivate instead of delete, look for a "Deactivate Account" option on the same Account settings page where you would find the delete option. The exact wording and location may vary depending on your app version or region.

Canceling an active order before deletion

If you have an order in progress, you must cancel it before you can delete your account. Open the Uber Eats app, go to "Orders," and find the active order. Tap "Cancel Order" and follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation.

Depending on how far along the order is, you may receive a refund to your original payment method. Once the order is fully canceled, you can proceed with deleting your account using the steps above.

What to do if you cannot delete your account

If the delete option does not appear in your account settings, make sure you are signed in and that you have canceled any active orders. Some older app versions may not show the delete option — try updating the Uber Eats app to the latest version from your phone's app store.

If you still cannot find the delete option after updating, contact Uber Eats support through the app. Tap the menu icon, select "Help," and choose "Account & Settings." From there you can message support and ask them to delete your account manually. Response times vary, but Uber typically replies within a few business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Uber Eats account if I have a pending refund?

You can still delete your account, but you should wait for the refund to process first. If you delete before the refund arrives, it may be harder to track down. Contact Uber Eats support to confirm the refund status before you proceed with deletion.

Will deleting my Uber Eats account also delete my Uber ride account?
