You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website, and the process takes a few minutes
Deleting your Uber Eats account removes your profile, payment methods, order history, and saved addresses from Uber Eats' servers. This is permanent — once deleted, you cannot recover your account or its data. If you only want to stop using the app temporarily, you can deactivate instead, which keeps your account frozen without erasing it.
The deletion process is the same whether you use the mobile app or the website. You do not need to contact Uber Eats support unless something goes wrong during the process.
Key Takeaways
- Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone, so read your order history first if you need it for tax or personal records.
- You can delete through the Uber Eats app under Account Settings, or through the website under your profile menu.
- Deactivation is a reversible option if you want to pause your account without losing the ability to return later.
- Any active orders or credits in your account will be lost when you delete, so complete or cancel pending orders first.
Steps to delete 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 find "Settings" and tap it.
In Settings, scroll to the bottom and look for "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Tap that option. The app will ask you to confirm your choice and may ask why you are leaving — this is optional to answer. Tap the final confirmation button to complete the deletion. Your account will be removed within a few days.
Steps to delete through the Uber Eats website
Go to ubereats.com and sign in to your account. Click your profile icon or name in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down the Account Settings page until you see "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Click it. You will be asked to confirm your choice. Click the confirmation button to complete the deletion. Like the app, your account will be removed within a few days.
What happens to your data and payment methods
When you delete your account, Uber Eats removes your name, email, phone number, saved addresses, payment methods, and order history from its system. You will no longer receive order confirmations or promotional emails from Uber Eats.
Any unused credits or promotional codes in your account will be lost. If you have an active order at the time of deletion, that order may still be completed by the restaurant or driver, but you will not be able to track it through the app. Complete or cancel any pending orders before you delete.
The difference between deletion and deactivation
Deletion is permanent. Your account and all its data are removed from Uber Eats' servers. You cannot recover it, and you cannot use the same email address to create a new Uber Eats account for 30 days.
Deactivation is temporary. Your account is frozen, but your data stays on file. You can reactivate it at any time by signing in with your original email and password. Deactivation is useful if you want to take a break without losing your saved addresses and payment methods.
To deactivate instead of delete, go to Account Settings and look for "Deactivate Account" rather than "Delete Account." The process is the same, but your account can be brought back to life.
What to do before you delete
If you need your order history for tax purposes or personal records, take screenshots of your orders or read them if Uber Eats offers that option. Once your account is deleted, this information is gone.
Cancel any active orders or scheduled deliveries. If an order is in progress when you delete, the restaurant or driver may still complete it, but you will lose the ability to track or modify it through the app.
Remove any saved payment methods you do not want associated with Uber Eats, though these will be deleted automatically when your account is deleted. If you have a balance or credits, use them before deletion — they cannot be transferred or refunded.
If deletion does not work or gets stuck
If you tap or click the delete button and nothing happens, try signing out of the app or website and signing back in. Sometimes a stale session prevents the deletion from going through.
If the delete option does not appear in your Settings menu, make sure you are using the latest version of the app. Check your phone's app store for updates and install any available updates, then try again.
If you have tried these steps and deletion still does not work, contact Uber Eats support through the app or website. Go to Account Settings, scroll to the bottom, and look for "Help" or "Contact Us." Explain that you are trying to delete your account and the button is not responding. Support can delete the account manually on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the same email to create a new Uber Eats account after deletion?
Not when ready. After you delete your account, you must wait 30 days before you can sign up again with the same email address. If you need to use Uber Eats sooner, create a new account with a different email address.
Will deleting my Uber Eats account also delete my Uber (ride-sharing) account?
No. Uber Eats and Uber are separate accounts, even though they use the same company. Deleting one does not affect the other. If you want to delete both, you must delete each account separately.
What if I have an active Uber Eats order when I delete my account?
The restaurant and driver may still complete the order, but you will lose the ability to track it or contact the driver through the app. Cancel any pending orders before you delete to avoid confusion or unexpected deliveries.
Can I recover my account after I delete it?
No. Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Your data is removed from Uber Eats' servers. If you think you might want to use Uber Eats again, deactivate instead of delete.
Do I need to contact Uber Eats support to delete my account?
No. You can delete your account yourself through the app or website in a few minutes. Contact support only if the delete button is not working or does not appear in your Settings.
