You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website, and the process takes about five minutes

Deleting your Uber Eats account removes your payment methods, delivery address history, order history, and saved restaurants from Uber's servers. The account cannot be recovered after deletion — if you want to use Uber Eats again, you will need to create a new account with a new email address. Deletion is permanent and when ready.

If you have an active order or an ongoing delivery, you cannot delete your account until that order is complete. You also cannot delete if you have an outstanding balance or a pending refund. Once those are resolved, the deletion process takes effect right away.

Key Takeaways

  • Delete your account through the app by going to Account > Settings > Delete Account, or through the website at the same menu path.
  • You must confirm deletion by entering your password and agreeing that you understand the account cannot be recovered.
  • Active orders, pending refunds, and outstanding balances will block deletion until they are resolved.
  • After deletion, your data is removed from Uber Eats, though Uber may retain some information for legal or tax purposes for a set period.

How to delete through the Uber Eats app

Open the Uber Eats app and tap the Account icon at the bottom right of the screen. Tap Settings. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. You will see a message explaining that deletion is permanent and listing what will be removed: your profile, payment methods, addresses, order history, and saved restaurants.

Tap Delete Account again to confirm. Enter your password when prompted. Read the final confirmation message and tap Delete Account one more time. The app will show a confirmation that your account has been deleted, and you will be logged out when ready.

How to delete through the Uber Eats website

Go to ubereats.com and log in to your account. Click the Account icon (usually your profile picture or initials in the top right corner). Click Settings. Scroll down and click Delete Account. You will see the same permanent deletion warning and list of what will be removed.

Click Delete Account to confirm. Enter your password. Read the final confirmation and click Delete Account again. The page will confirm deletion, and you will be logged out of your account.

What happens to your data after deletion

Your Uber Eats profile, saved addresses, payment methods, and order history are removed from the Uber Eats platform. You will no longer receive marketing emails or push notifications from Uber Eats. Any active Uber Eats credits or promotions tied to your account are forfeited and cannot be transferred or refunded.

Uber may retain some information for legal reasons, tax compliance, or fraud prevention for a period set by their data retention policy. This retained data is not connected to your deleted account and cannot be used to restore your profile. If you want to know exactly what information Uber retains and for how long, you can submit a data request through Uber's privacy page.

If you have an active order or payment issue

If you are in the middle of a delivery or have a pending order, the delete button will be unavailable or will show an error message. Wait for the order to be completed and marked as delivered. If the order is cancelled, wait for any refund to process — this usually takes three to five business days depending on your bank.

If you have an outstanding balance (for example, a declined payment or a chargeback), you must resolve it before deletion is possible. Contact Uber Eats support through the app or website to find out what balance is blocking your account and how to pay it. Once the balance is cleared, you can proceed with deletion.

Difference between deactivating and deleting

Uber Eats does not offer a deactivation option the way some apps do. Deletion is the only way to stop using your account. You cannot temporarily pause your account and reactivate it later — deletion is permanent. If you think you might want to use Uber Eats again in the future, consider straightforward not opening the app instead of deleting, since you can always log back in with your existing account.

If you delete and later change your mind, you will need to create a brand new account with a different email address. Your old order history, saved addresses, and payment methods will not transfer over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting my Uber Eats account also delete my Uber (rides) account?

No. Uber Eats and Uber (the ride-sharing service) share the same login but are separate services. Deleting your Uber Eats account will not affect your Uber rides account. If you want to delete both, you must delete them separately through their respective apps or websites.

Can I get a refund of my Uber Eats credits before I delete?

No. Uber Eats credits and promotions cannot be refunded or transferred. Any unused credits are forfeited when you delete your account. Use any remaining credits on an order before you delete if you want to get value from them.

How long does it take for my data to be fully removed?

Your account and profile are removed when ready. However, Uber may retain some transaction records or personal data for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes for a period that varies by region and data type. This retained data is not accessible through your account and cannot be used to restore your profile.

What if I forgot my password and can't delete my account?

You will need to reset your password before you can delete. On the Uber Eats login screen, click Forgot Password and follow the steps to reset it using your email address. Once you have reset your password, log in and proceed with the deletion steps above.
