You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website in about five minutes
Deleting your Uber Eats account removes your profile, payment methods, order history, and saved addresses from Uber Eats servers. The process is permanent — once deleted, you cannot recover your account or its data. If you have an active order or a pending refund, Uber Eats will not let you delete until those are resolved.
You do not need to contact Uber Eats support to delete your account. The option is built into the app and website. If you delete through the app, the changes sync to your account when ready, and you will be logged out.
Key Takeaways
- Open the Uber Eats app or go to ubereats.com, tap your account icon, and select Account Settings to find the delete option.
- Resolve any active orders or pending refunds before you delete, or the system will block the request.
- Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone — your order history, saved addresses, and payment methods will be gone.
- If you want to pause deliveries without losing your account, you can log out or stop using the app instead of deleting.
- Deleting your Uber Eats account does not affect your Uber (rides) account if you have one — they are separate.
Delete your account through the Uber Eats app
Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. This opens your profile menu. Scroll down and tap Account Settings.
In Account Settings, scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see a red button or link labeled Delete Account. Tap it. The app will ask you to confirm — it will warn you that deletion is permanent and that you will lose all saved information. Tap Delete again to confirm.
After you confirm, you will be logged out when ready. The account no longer exists. If you try to log back in with that email address, Uber Eats will tell you the account does not exist.
Delete your account through the website
Go to ubereats.com and log in if you are not already. Click the account icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings from the menu.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Account Settings page. Click the Delete Account button. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm. Read the warning — it states that deletion cannot be undone and all your data will be removed. Click Delete Account in the pop-up to finish.
You will be logged out and returned to the Uber Eats home page. Your account is now deleted.
What happens if you have an active order or pending refund
Uber Eats will not let you delete your account while an order is being prepared or delivered. You must wait for the order to arrive and be marked complete before you can proceed with deletion.
If you have a refund pending — for example, if you cancelled an order and are waiting for the money to return to your card — you must wait for that refund to process. This usually takes three to five business days. Once the refund shows in your payment method, you can delete your account.
If you are unsure whether a refund is still pending, check your Account Settings under Order History. Look for any order marked Refunded or Refund in Progress. Wait until it shows Completed before you delete.
The difference between deleting and deactivating
Uber Eats does not offer a deactivation or pause feature the way some apps do. You have two choices: keep your account active but stop using it, or delete it entirely.
If you want to stop receiving notifications or recommendations without losing your account, straightforward log out of the app and do not log back in. Your account will remain on Uber Eats servers, and you can return to it anytime by logging in with your email and password. Your order history, saved addresses, and payment methods will still be there.
If you know you will never use Uber Eats again and do not want your data stored, delete the account. There is no middle ground — Uber Eats does not offer a temporary suspension option.
Deleting Uber Eats does not affect your Uber account
Uber Eats and Uber (the ride-sharing service) are separate accounts, even though they are owned by the same company. Deleting your Uber Eats account will not delete your Uber account or affect your ride history, saved locations, or payment methods for rides.
If you use both services and want to delete only Uber Eats, you can do so without touching your Uber account. If you want to delete both, you will need to go through the deletion process for each app separately.
What to do if deletion fails or you cannot find the option
If you tap Delete Account and nothing happens, try logging out and logging back in. Sometimes the app needs to refresh to show the option correctly.
If you are using an older version of the Uber Eats app, update it through your phone's app store. Older versions may not have the delete option in Account Settings.
If you still cannot find the delete option after updating, try deleting through the website instead of the app. The website version is sometimes more reliable. Go to ubereats.com, log in, and follow the steps listed above.
If the website also does not show a delete option, contact Uber Eats support through the app or website. Tap Help in the Account Settings menu, then select Account and Profile, then Delete My Account. You can describe your issue and request that support delete the account for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get my data back after I delete my account?
No. Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Uber Eats does not restore deleted accounts or their data. If you think you might want your order history or saved addresses later, do not delete — just stop using the app instead.
Will deleting my account remove me from Uber Eats' mailing list?
Yes. Once your account is deleted, Uber Eats has no record of you and cannot send you emails or notifications. If you receive marketing emails after deletion, they may be from a different service or an old mailing list — contact that sender directly to unsubscribe.
What if I used a phone number instead of an email to sign up?
The deletion process is the same. Go to Account Settings and tap Delete Account. Uber Eats will delete the account associated with that phone number. You will not be able to log back in with that phone number.
Can I delete my account if I have a credit with Uber Eats?
Yes, but you will lose the credit. If you have promotional credit or a gift card balance on your account, it will be forfeited when you delete. Use any remaining credit before you delete if you want to keep it.
How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted from Uber Eats' servers?
Your account is deleted when ready when you confirm deletion in the app or website. You cannot log back in right away. However, Uber Eats may retain some data for legal or billing reasons for a period of time, though you will not be able to access it.
