Delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website

You can delete your Uber Eats account yourself in about five minutes using either the mobile app or a web browser. The account closes permanently after 30 days, but you can cancel the deletion during that waiting period if you change your mind. After 30 days, your account, order history, saved addresses, and payment methods are gone for good.

Uber Eats does not offer a phone number to call for account deletion — you must do it through the app or website yourself. There is no charge to delete your account, and you do not need to contact customer support unless something goes wrong during the deletion process.

Key Takeaways

  • Delete your account by opening the app or website, going to your account settings, and selecting the delete option — the process takes about five minutes.
  • Your account enters a 30-day waiting period after deletion, during which you can still cancel and restore it if you change your mind.
  • After 30 days pass, your account is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered, so make sure you have saved any information you need first.
  • If you only want to stop using Uber Eats temporarily, you can deactivate your account instead, which pauses it without deleting your data.

Delete your account using the Uber Eats app

Open the Uber Eats app on your phone and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. This opens your account menu. Scroll down and look for "Settings" or a gear icon, then tap it.

In Settings, scroll down until you see "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Tap that option. The app will ask you to confirm that you want to delete your account and warn you that the deletion is permanent after 30 days. Read through any messages the app shows you, then tap the button to confirm deletion. You will receive an email confirming that your account is scheduled for deletion.

Delete your account using a web browser

Go to ubereats.com and sign in with your email and password. Click on your account icon or profile picture, usually in the top right corner of the page. A dropdown menu will appear.

Look for "Settings" in that menu and click it. Scroll down the Settings page until you find "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Click that option. The website will show you a confirmation message explaining that your account will be permanently deleted after 30 days. Click the button to confirm, and you will see a message saying your deletion request has been received. Check your email for a confirmation message from Uber Eats.

What happens during the 30-day waiting period

After you request deletion, your account enters a 30-day waiting period. During this time, you cannot log in or place orders, but your account still exists. If you realize you made a mistake, you can cancel the deletion and restore your account by signing back in with your email and password. The app or website will ask if you want to cancel the deletion — select yes, and your account will be active again when ready.

If you do nothing during the 30 days, your account will be permanently deleted at the end of that period. Uber Eats will not send you a reminder email when the 30 days are almost up, so mark your calendar if you think you might change your mind.

Deactivate your account instead if you might return

If you are not sure whether you want to delete your account permanently, you can deactivate it instead. Deactivation pauses your account without erasing your data. Your saved addresses, payment methods, and order history stay in your account, and you can reactivate it at any time by straightforward signing in again.

To deactivate instead of delete, look for a "Deactivate Account" option in your Settings menu — this is separate from the delete option. Choose deactivation if you are taking a break from food delivery but might order again in the future. Choose deletion only if you are certain you will not use Uber Eats again.

Before you delete: save information you might need

Once your account is permanently deleted after 30 days, you cannot recover your order history, receipts, or saved addresses. If you need any of this information for tax purposes, expense tracking, or your records, take screenshots or write down what you need before you request deletion.

If you have a credit or refund pending from Uber Eats, make sure it has been processed before you delete your account. Once your account is gone, you cannot contact Uber Eats through the app to dispute a charge or track down a missing refund. If you have an active promotion code or gift card balance, you will lose access to it after deletion.

What to do if deletion is not working

If the delete button does not appear in your Settings menu, your account may have an active order, an unpaid balance, or a pending refund. Try signing out and signing back in, or uninstall and reinstall the app. If the delete option still does not show up, contact Uber Eats support through the app by tapping "Help" and selecting "Account and Settings," then "Delete Account."

If you requested deletion but did not receive a confirmation email, check your spam folder. If the email is not there, sign back into your account and try the deletion process again. If you are still having trouble, use the in-app Help feature to contact support and explain what happened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Uber Eats account if I also use Uber for rides?

No. Uber Eats and Uber rides share the same account. If you delete your account, you will lose access to both services. If you only want to stop using Uber Eats, deactivate that service instead, or contact Uber support to ask about separating the accounts.

What happens to my saved payment methods after deletion?

Your saved credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods are deleted along with your account. After permanent deletion, Uber Eats will not have any of your payment information on file. If you reactivate during the 30-day waiting period, your payment methods will still be there.

Can someone else use my email address to create a new Uber Eats account after mine is deleted?

Yes. After your account is permanently deleted, the email address is no longer tied to Uber Eats, and someone else can sign up with that email. If you want to prevent this, consider using a different email address for any new account you create in the future.

Will deleting my account remove me from group orders or shared accounts?

If you are part of a group order or a shared family account, deleting your account will remove you from those. The other people on the account will still have access, but they will not be able to see your order history or contact you through the app.

How do I know if my account has been permanently deleted?

Try signing in with your email and password. If the login fails and you see a message saying the account does not exist, your account has been permanently deleted. If you can still sign in, your account is still active or is still in the 30-day waiting period.
