Deleting your Uber Eats account removes all your saved payment methods, addresses, and order history from the platform
To delete your Uber Eats account, open the app or website, go to your Account settings, select "Delete Account," and confirm your choice. Uber will send a confirmation email — you must click the link in that email within 30 days or the deletion request expires. Once confirmed, your account and all associated data are removed within a few business days. You cannot undo this action.
Deletion is permanent and different from deactivation. When you delete, Uber removes your profile, payment information, address book, and order history. If you deactivate instead, your account goes dormant but can be reactivated later by logging back in — your data stays on Uber's servers. Choose deletion only if you do not plan to use Uber Eats again.
Key Takeaways
- Deletion requires two steps: requesting it in Account settings, then confirming via email link within 30 days.
- Your account and all saved data are permanently removed and cannot be recovered after confirmation.
- Deactivation is reversible; deletion is not — pick the right option before you start.
- If you have an active Uber Pass subscription, canceling it before deletion prevents future charges.
Step-by-step deletion process on the Uber Eats app
Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap "Account." Look for "Delete Account" near the bottom of the menu — it may be under a "More" or "Settings" section depending on your app version. Tap it.
Uber will show you a warning that deletion is permanent and list what will be removed: your profile, payment methods, saved addresses, and order history. Read this carefully. Tap "Delete Account" to confirm you want to proceed. Uber sends a confirmation email to the address associated with your account.
Check your email inbox and spam folder for a message from Uber with the subject line "Confirm your account deletion request." Click the link in that email. You have 30 days to click it. If you do not click within 30 days, the deletion request cancels and your account remains active.
Deletion process on the Uber Eats website
Go to ubereats.com and log in. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account." Scroll down to find "Delete Account" and click it. Uber displays the same permanent deletion warning. Click "Delete Account" to confirm.
The confirmation email arrives within minutes. Open it, click the link, and your deletion request is submitted. The account is fully removed within a few business days after you confirm the email link.
What happens to your Uber Eats data after deletion
Once you confirm deletion via email, Uber removes your account from its active systems. Your saved addresses, payment methods, order history, and profile information are deleted. You will no longer receive order confirmations, promotions, or notifications from Uber Eats.
If you had an Uber Pass subscription, it cancels automatically when your account is deleted. However, if your subscription was active and you had remaining time on it, Uber does not issue refunds for the unused portion. Cancel your Uber Pass before requesting deletion if you want to avoid this.
Deletion does not affect your Uber (ride-sharing) account if you have one. Uber Eats and Uber are separate services. Deleting Uber Eats does not delete your Uber profile, and vice versa.
Canceling Uber Pass before deletion
If you have an active Uber Pass subscription, cancel it before you delete your account to avoid being charged for a renewal you will not use. Open the Uber Eats app, tap your account icon, and go to "Account." Look for "Uber Pass" or "Subscriptions" and tap it. Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
Canceling Uber Pass does not delete your account — it only stops future charges. You can still use Uber Eats after canceling Uber Pass. If you cancel Uber Pass and then delete your account within the same billing cycle, you will not be charged again.
Deactivation as an alternative to deletion
If you are unsure whether you want to delete permanently, consider deactivating instead. Deactivation hides your account and stops notifications, but your data stays on Uber's servers. You can reactivate by logging back in anytime — no new account creation needed.
To deactivate, go to Account settings and look for "Deactivate Account" (this option appears on some accounts but not all). If you do not see it, deletion may be your only option. Deactivation is useful if you want a break from Uber Eats but might return later.
Troubleshooting deletion problems
If you do not receive the confirmation email, check your spam and promotions folders. Uber sends it from noreply@uber.com. If it is not there after 10 minutes, request deletion again from Account settings. Each new request generates a new confirmation email.
If the confirmation link does not work or shows an error, try clicking it again or copying and pasting it into your browser. If the link has expired (more than 30 days old), you must request deletion again. The old link will not work.
If you cannot find the Delete Account option in your app, update Uber Eats to the latest version. Older versions may not display this feature. After updating, go back to Account settings and try again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my account after I delete it?
No. Once you confirm deletion via the email link, your account and all data are permanently removed. Uber cannot restore deleted accounts. If you change your mind, you must create a new account from scratch.
What if I do not click the confirmation email link?
Your deletion request expires after 30 days and your account remains active. You will not be deleted. If you want to delete later, request it again from Account settings and click the new confirmation link within 30 days.
Will deleting Uber Eats also delete my Uber ride account?
No. Uber Eats and Uber (rides) are separate services with separate accounts. Deleting one does not affect the other. You must delete each account separately if you want both removed.
Do I get a refund for unused Uber Pass time?
No. Uber does not refund unused Uber Pass subscription time when you delete your account. Cancel Uber Pass before deletion if you want to stop paying, but the refund policy does not change.
Can I delete my account if I have an active order?
You can request deletion anytime, but Uber may delay processing it until active orders are complete. If you have a pending delivery, wait for it to arrive before requesting deletion to avoid complications.
