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

To delete your Uber Eats account, open the app or go to ubereats.com, sign in, and navigate to your account settings. Look for "Delete Account" or "Close Account" — the exact wording depends on whether you're using the app or the website. Uber will ask you to confirm the deletion and may request a reason. Once you confirm, your account and all associated data are permanently removed.

The deletion is final. You cannot recover an Uber Eats account after it's deleted, and you'll need to create a new account if you want to order again later. Any active orders will be cancelled, and any remaining balance in your account will be forfeited.

Key Takeaways

  • You can delete your Uber Eats account from the app by going to Account > Settings > Delete Account, or from the website under your profile menu.
  • Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone — you cannot recover the account or any data associated with it.
  • Any active orders will be cancelled and any remaining account balance will be lost when you delete.
  • If you want to pause your account temporarily instead, you can deactivate it, which allows you to reactivate it later without losing your data.

Steps to delete through the Uber Eats app

Open the Uber Eats app and tap the account icon in the bottom right corner. Scroll down to find "Settings" and tap it. Look for an option labeled "Delete Account" or "Close Account" — this may be near the bottom of the settings menu under a section like "Legal" or "More."

Tap the delete option. Uber will show you a confirmation screen explaining that deletion is permanent. You may be asked to select a reason for leaving (such as "I don't use it anymore" or "Privacy concerns"). After you confirm, the account is deleted immediately.

Steps to delete through the website

Go to ubereats.com and sign in to your account. Click on your profile icon or account menu, usually located in the top right corner. Select "Account Settings" or "Settings."

Scroll down to find "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Click it and confirm when prompted. Like the app, the website will ask for confirmation and may request a reason. Once you confirm, your account is permanently deleted.

What happens to your data and orders

When you delete your account, Uber removes your profile, order history, saved addresses, payment methods, and any other personal information associated with that account. This data cannot be recovered.

If you have an active order at the time of deletion, it will be cancelled. The restaurant and driver will be notified. Any money in your account — such as unused credits or promotional balance — will be forfeited and cannot be refunded.

Deactivation versus deletion

Uber Eats offers two different options: deactivation and deletion. Deactivation temporarily disables your account while keeping your data intact. You can reactivate a deactivated account at any time by signing back in. Deletion is permanent and removes all your information.

If you're unsure whether you want to leave Uber Eats permanently, deactivation is the safer choice. You can always delete later, but you cannot undo a deletion. To deactivate instead of delete, look for a "Deactivate Account" option in your settings — it may appear alongside or instead of the delete option depending on your region and app version.

If you share an account with someone else

If multiple people use the same Uber Eats account, deleting it will affect everyone. All users will lose access, and all saved information will be removed. Before deleting a shared account, make sure everyone who uses it knows and agrees.

If you want to stop using Uber Eats but others in your household want to keep using it, consider deactivating your account instead, or ask the account owner to remove you as an authorized user if that option is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover my account after deleting it?

No. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Once you delete your Uber Eats account, you cannot recover it or any data associated with it. If you want to use Uber Eats again, you will need to create a brand new account.

What if I have an active order when I delete my account?

Your active order will be cancelled immediately. The restaurant and driver will be notified of the cancellation. You will not receive a refund for a cancelled order, and any payment already processed cannot be recovered through account deletion.

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

No. Uber Eats and Uber (rides) are separate services with separate accounts. Deleting your Uber Eats account will not affect your Uber rides account, and vice versa. You can delete one without affecting the other.

Can I delete my account if I have a pending refund?

You can delete your account at any time, but deleting will not speed up a refund or may provide you receive it. If you're waiting for a refund, contact Uber Eats support before deleting to confirm the refund status. After deletion, you will have no way to track or receive the refund.

Is there a way to pause my account instead of deleting it?

Yes. Most regions offer account deactivation, which temporarily disables your account while preserving your data. You can reactivate a deactivated account by signing back in. Look for "Deactivate Account" in your settings if you want to take a break without permanently deleting.
