You can delete your Uber Eats account through the app or website in a few minutes

Deleting your Uber Eats account removes your profile, payment methods, order history, and saved addresses from Uber's servers. The process is permanent — once deleted, you cannot recover your account or its data. You have two routes: delete through the app (fastest) or through the website. Either way, Uber sends a confirmation email, and the account closes within a few days.

Before you delete, read your order history if you need it for taxes, expense tracking, or your records. After deletion, you will not be able to see past orders or receipts. If you have an active order or a scheduled delivery, cancel it first — Uber will not let you delete an account with pending transactions.

Key Takeaways

  • Delete through the Uber Eats app by going to Account > Settings > Delete Account, or through the website at ubereats.com under Account Settings.
  • read your order history before deletion if you need receipts or records for any reason.
  • Cancel any active or scheduled orders before attempting to delete your account.
  • Deletion is permanent and takes a few days to process; Uber will send a confirmation email when it is complete.
  • If you have an Uber account (for rides), deleting Uber Eats does not affect it — they are separate accounts.

Delete your account through the Uber Eats app

Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. Tap Account, then scroll down and tap Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and tap Delete Account.

Uber will ask you to confirm your choice and may ask why you are leaving. You can skip the survey or answer it — either way, tap the final confirmation button to proceed. The app will show a message saying your account is scheduled for deletion. You will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes.

Delete your account through the website

Go to ubereats.com and sign in. Click the account icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings. Scroll down to find Delete Account and click it.

Follow the same confirmation steps as the app. Uber will ask you to confirm your choice and may offer a survey. Click the final confirmation button, and you will see a message that your account deletion is in progress. Check your email for the confirmation message from Uber.

read your order history before you delete

Your order history includes receipts, dates, amounts paid, and restaurant names. Once your account is deleted, this information is gone. If you need it for expense reports, tax records, or personal tracking, take screenshots or save the pages before you delete.

In the app, go to Account > Order History and take screenshots of each order. On the website, go to Account Settings > Order History and do the same. You can also print the pages directly from your browser using Ctrl+P (Windows) or Command+P (Mac).

Cancel active orders before deletion

If you have a current order being prepared or delivered, Uber will not let you delete your account until it is complete or cancelled. Open the app, go to your active order, and tap Cancel Order. Wait for the cancellation to process — this usually takes a minute or two.

If you have a scheduled order set for a future time, cancel that as well. Once all active and scheduled orders are gone, you can proceed with account deletion.

What happens after you delete your account

Deletion takes a few days to fully process. During this time, your account will be inactive but still visible in Uber's system. After the process completes, Uber removes your profile, payment methods, addresses, and order history from their servers.

You will receive a final confirmation email saying your account has been deleted. If you want to use Uber Eats again in the future, you can create a new account with the same email address or a different one. Your old account data will not be recovered — you will start fresh.

Uber Eats and Uber rides are separate accounts

If you also use Uber for rides, deleting your Uber Eats account does not affect your Uber account. They are two separate services with separate login credentials and data. You can delete one without touching the other.

If you want to delete both, you will need to delete them separately. Go through the same process for your Uber account through the Uber app or website. Keep in mind that any credits, promotions, or payment methods linked to your Uber account will also be removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover my account after I delete it?

No. Deletion is permanent. Uber does not restore deleted accounts or their data. If you change your mind, you can create a new account, but your old order history, saved addresses, and payment methods will be gone.

What happens to my saved payment methods?

All payment methods linked to your account are deleted along with your profile. If you use the same card or PayPal account with other services, those accounts are not affected — only the connection to Uber Eats is removed.

Will deleting my account refund any unused credits or promotions?

No. Any unused credits, promo codes, or account balance are forfeited when you delete your account. Use any remaining balance before you delete if you want to keep it.

How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?

The deletion process usually takes a few days. You will receive a confirmation email when it is complete. During the waiting period, your account is inactive but still in Uber's system.

Can I delete my account if I have an outstanding balance or unpaid order?

If you have an unpaid order or outstanding balance, Uber may block deletion until it is resolved. Pay any outstanding charges first, then proceed with account deletion.
