You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website, but the process is permanent and you'll lose access to your order history and saved payment methods
Deleting your Uber Eats account removes it entirely from Uber's system. This is different from pausing or deactivating it — once deleted, you cannot recover the account or its data. If you think you might use Uber Eats again in the future, you may want to pause your account instead, which takes just a few taps and lets you reactivate later without losing anything.
If you're certain you want to delete permanently, the actual deletion takes about 30 days. Uber holds your account in a "pending deletion" state for that month, during which you can still cancel the deletion if you change your mind. After 30 days, the account is gone for good.
Key Takeaways
- Deletion is permanent after 30 days and cannot be undone, so make sure you want to leave before you start the process.
- You can cancel the deletion request at any point during the 30-day waiting period by logging back into your account.
- Your order history, saved addresses, and payment methods will all be deleted along with the account.
- The deletion process is done entirely through the app or website settings — you do not need to contact Uber support unless something goes wrong.
How to delete your account through the Uber Eats app
Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. This takes you to your profile page. Scroll down to the bottom and look for "Legal" — tap that section to expand it.
At the very bottom of the Legal section, you'll see "Delete Account." Tap it. The app will ask you to confirm that you understand the account will be permanently deleted after 30 days, and it will list what you're about to lose: your order history, saved addresses, payment methods, and any credits or promotions you haven't used. Read through this carefully, then tap "Delete Account" again to confirm.
You'll receive an email from Uber confirming that your account is pending deletion. Keep that email — it contains a link you can use to cancel the deletion if you change your mind before the 30 days are up.
How to delete your account through the website
Go to ubereats.com and log in. Click on your account icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings." On the left side of the page, scroll down until you see "Legal" and click it.
At the bottom of the Legal section, click "Delete Account." You'll see the same confirmation message as in the app, listing everything that will be deleted. Click "Delete Account" one more time to confirm your request.
Like the app, you'll get a confirmation email with a cancellation link in case you want to stop the deletion during the 30-day window.
What happens during the 30-day waiting period
Your account enters a "pending deletion" state. You can still log in during this time, and if you do, you'll see a message saying your account is scheduled for deletion. Your payment methods, addresses, and order history are still there — nothing is actually removed yet.
If you decide you want to keep your account, just log in and look for the option to cancel the deletion request. This is usually near the top of your account page or in the same Legal section where you started the deletion. Click it, and your account will go back to normal when ready.
If you do nothing during the 30 days, the account will be automatically deleted at the end of that period. After that point, there is no way to recover it.
What to do if you want to pause instead of delete
If you're not sure whether you'll use Uber Eats again, consider deactivating your account instead. This temporarily turns off your account without deleting anything. You can reactivate it anytime by logging back in.
To deactivate, go to Account Settings and look for "Deactivate Account" in the Legal section (it's usually just above the Delete Account option). Click it, choose a reason if prompted, and confirm. Your account will be paused when ready, and you won't receive any Uber Eats notifications or emails.
When you're ready to use Uber Eats again, straightforward log in with your old username and password. Everything — your order history, saved addresses, payment methods, and any unused credits — will be exactly as you left it.
Removing payment methods and addresses without deleting the account
If you want to keep your account but remove specific information, you don't need to delete anything. Go to Account Settings and look for "Payment Methods" or "Saved Addresses." You can delete individual payment cards or addresses one at a time by clicking the trash or delete icon next to each one.
This is useful if you're concerned about a particular payment method being stored, or if you've moved and want to clean up old addresses. You can do this without affecting the rest of your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel the deletion after the 30 days are up?
No. Once the 30-day period ends, the account is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. You would have to create a brand new account from scratch. This is why it's important to use the cancellation link in your confirmation email if you change your mind during the waiting period.
Will deleting my Uber Eats account also delete my Uber (rides) account?
No. Uber Eats and Uber (the ride service) are separate accounts, even though they're both run by Uber. Deleting one does not affect the other. You can delete your Uber Eats account and keep your Uber rides account active, or vice versa.
What happens to my unused credits or promotions when I delete?
Any unused credits, promotional codes, or discounts will be deleted along with your account and cannot be transferred or refunded. If you have credits you haven't used, consider placing one more order before you delete, or wait until you've used them up.
Do I need to contact Uber support to delete my account?
No. The deletion process is self-service through the app or website. You only need to contact support if you're unable to find the delete option, if the deletion fails, or if you want to cancel the deletion but can't find the link in your confirmation email.
Can someone else delete my account if they have my password?
Yes, which is why it's important to use a strong, unique password for your Uber Eats account. If you think someone else has accessed your account, change your password when ready before deleting. You can do this in Account Settings under "Security" or "Password."
