How To Delete Your Uber Account (And Uber Eats) In 2026

Short answer: To delete your Uber account, open the Uber app and go to Account > Settings > Privacy > Account Deletion, or sign in at myprivacy.uber.com on the web. Your account is deactivated right away and permanently deleted after 30 days, and signing back in during that window restores it. The catch: one deletion also removes your Uber Eats (and any driver) account that uses the same details, and you cannot delete while you owe Uber money.

If you are looking up how to delete Uber account details for good, the process is quick, but a few things are worth sorting out first. Uber runs rides, Uber Eats and its driver and courier app on a single login, so deleting one usually deletes them all. Paid memberships, unused credits and your trip history all need a decision before you press the button. This guide covers every official route, what happens during the 30-day window, what Uber keeps under its privacy notice, and how to download your data before it is gone. If you are clearing out several services at once, our guide on how to cancel subscriptions online walks through the bigger cleanup.

Before You Delete Your Uber Account

Deleting is easy to start and hard to undo after 30 days, so run through this checklist first:

1. Settle any outstanding payment. Uber’s help center says you cannot delete your account while a payment is outstanding. Clear any unpaid trip or order first.
2. Cancel Uber One. Ending a paid membership before you delete keeps billing clean, especially if it renews through Apple or Google.
3. Spend or give up your credits. Uber says unused credits, promotions and rewards are removed when your account is permanently deleted.
4. Download your data. Receipts and trip history are useful for expense reports and taxes, and they disappear with the account.
5. Make sure you can receive a code. Uber verifies deletion requests with a temporary code, which may require a phone number on your account.
6. Think about Uber Eats and driving. If you use the same login for Uber Eats or the driver app, those go too.

Cancel Uber One First

Uber One is a renewing paid membership, so treat it as a separate step. Uber’s membership terms give this path in the Uber app:

1. Open the Uber app and go to the Uber One section.
2. Select Manage Membership.
3. Select End membership.
4. Confirm that you want to cancel.

Under those terms, a paid membership keeps its benefits until the end of the current billing cycle, while a free trial ends immediately when cancelled. Fees already charged are not refunded pro rata, but Uber issues an automatic refund if you cancel within 24 hours before your renewal day and the next cycle’s payment has already been processed. Uber One credits cannot be used without an active membership. If you spot an Uber One charge you did not authorize, Uber’s membership terms say to report it at help.uber.com within 60 days, so do that before deleting the account you would need to sign in with. For the full walkthrough, including app store billing, read our guide to cancel Uber One before you delete anything.

Download Your Uber Data

Uber’s privacy notice describes a Download Your Data feature that lets you “download a copy of the most requested data relating to use of Uber,” including account, usage, communications and device data. A separate Explore Your Data view summarizes your rating, trip or order count, rewards status and how long you have used Uber.

1. Open the Uber, Uber Eats or Driver app, or sign in at myprivacy.uber.com.
2. Go to the Privacy settings, where Uber’s Privacy Center lives.
3. Choose Download Your Data and follow the prompts.
4. Save the file somewhere safe before you start the deletion.
5. If you need receipts for work, save those individually from your trip and order history as well.

How To Delete Uber Account In The App

This is the route Uber’s help center lists first. It works on iPhone and Android.

1. Open the Uber app and tap Account.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Privacy.
4. Scroll down and tap Account Deletion.
5. Follow the remaining prompts, which may ask why you are leaving.
6. Enter the temporary verification code Uber sends you.
7. Confirm the deletion. Your account is deactivated immediately.

Delete Uber Account On The Web

If you no longer have the app, Uber’s help center points you to its privacy site:

1. Go to myprivacy.uber.com in any browser.
2. Sign in with your Uber account.
3. Find the account deletion option and follow the steps.
4. Enter the temporary verification code when asked.
5. Confirm. The account is deactivated right away.

Uber’s privacy notice also says you can request account deletion through its Privacy Center, which is the same place.

If You Ordered As A Guest Or Never Had An Account

Not everyone who has dealt with Uber has a full account. Uber’s privacy notice says guest users have their own deletion route, and people without an Uber account can contact Uber through its Privacy Inquiry Form. That is the place to go if Uber holds data about you (for example from a ride someone else booked for you) and there is no account for you to sign in to and delete.

How To Delete Uber Eats Account

Most people do not have a separate Uber Eats account at all. Uber’s help center says that if your Uber Eats account uses the same account details, it is also deleted once your request completes. So the answer to how to delete Uber Eats account access is usually the same process:

1. Cancel Uber One if you get it through Uber Eats.
2. Check for unpaid orders and settle them.
3. Delete your Uber account in the Uber app or at myprivacy.uber.com, as shown above.
4. Sign out of the Uber Eats app and uninstall it once the deletion is confirmed.

If you only use Uber Eats and never installed the rides app, sign in at myprivacy.uber.com with your Uber Eats login and follow the same steps. Uber says its Privacy Center is also reachable from the settings menu in the Uber Eats app.

Want to keep Uber Eats but drop rides, or the other way around? There is no separate delete for one side, since both share one account. Signing out of the app you do not use is the practical option.

Driver And Courier Accounts

Uber’s help center says that if your driver account uses the same account details as your rider account, it is also deleted when your deletion request completes. Before you delete as a driver or delivery person:

1. Cash out or confirm any final earnings payout.
2. Download your earnings statements and trip records for tax purposes.
3. Use Download Your Data from the Driver app’s Privacy settings, where Uber says its Privacy Center is available.
4. Delete the account through the app’s Privacy settings or myprivacy.uber.com.

Uber’s privacy notice says some data may be kept longer for tax, insurance, legal or regulatory reasons, which is common for anyone who earned money on the platform.

The 30-Day Window And What Happens After

Uber’s help center is specific about the timing: your account is deactivated immediately and permanently deleted after 30 days. If you sign back in during those 30 days, the account is restored.

• Days 1 to 30: the account is deactivated. You cannot request rides or orders, but signing in at uber.com or in the app reverses the deletion.
• After day 30: the account is permanently deleted, along with unused credits, promotions and rewards.
• Data cleanup: Uber’s privacy notice says it “generally delete[s] data within 90 days of an account deletion request,” except where it must keep data for the reasons covered below.
• Coming back later: after permanent deletion, you would need to sign up again as a new user.

Tip: avoid opening the Uber or Uber Eats app on any device during the 30 days. A saved login that signs you back in will cancel your deletion request.

Uber Cash, Gift Cards And Outstanding Balances

Money on your account is the part most people forget. Here is what Uber’s own pages say:

• Outstanding balances: you cannot delete your account while a payment is outstanding.
• Credits, promotions and rewards: removed when the account is permanently deleted.
• Uber Cash: Uber’s Uber Cash terms say “no portion of Uber Cash is refundable, returnable, or redeemable for cash except where required by law,” and that it is not transferable to another person. Uber Cash also requires an active Uber account to redeem.
• Gift cards: the same terms say gift card value loaded as Uber Cash never expires, but it is still tied to your account, so spend it before you delete.
• Promotional Uber Cash: Uber says Uber Cash it gives you may expire, with notice of any expiration date.

Bottom line: use up any balance first. Uber’s help pages do not describe a cash-out when you delete.

What Data Uber Keeps

Deletion does not erase everything instantly. Uber’s privacy notice says it deletes your account and data except where needed “for purposes of safety, security, fraud prevention” or legal compliance, “or because of issues relating to your account (such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute).” Specifically:

• Fraud or safety bans: Uber says it retains data after a deletion request to prevent a banned user from getting back on the platform.
• Incidents and claims: data potentially relevant to litigation or an insurance claim is kept.
• Tax, insurance and legal needs: some data may be kept for up to 7 years from collection.
• ID checks: government ID images are kept for 1 year and user-submitted selfies for 3 years, and ID images for alcohol delivery age checks are generally deleted within 48 hours unless law requires longer.

Uber’s help center also notes it may keep some information where required or permitted by law. If you are dropping other delivery memberships at the same time, our guides to cancel Amazon Prime and cancel Walmart Plus walk through those.

Troubleshooting Uber Account Deletion

If Uber Won’t Delete Your Account

Use Uber’s “I need help deleting my Uber account” help page and keep screenshots of each attempt. If membership charges continue after you cancelled, dispute them with your card issuer and ask about blocking the merchant as a backstop. You can also report the issue to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or your state attorney general.

The FTC’s “click to cancel” rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit in July 2025, but the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) still governs online subscriptions like Uber One, and California and other states have automatic renewal and privacy laws. This is general information, not legal advice.
