How To Delete My Uber Account Permanently?

Uber has revolutionized how we go from point A to point B, and many individuals use it as their primary mode of transportation. Anyhow, if you don’t need Uber or would prefer to use one of its competitors, you may be thinking about how to deactivate and delete Uber from your phone. Here’s how to remove your Uber account if you want to cancel your ride for good.

Uber requires a 30-day deactivation period before deleting your account completely. So if you change your mind after doing these, you have a month to reactivate. However, after 30 days, your account will be permanently deleted with no means to recover it.

It’s also worth noting that any Uber Eats accounts you have will be deleted along with your primary Uber account.

How to delete Uber account?

You can terminate your Uber account permanently if you no longer want to use it. Fortunately, deleting your Uber account is simple and can be done either on the mobile app or the web. Let’s get started.

  • Go to your device’s app store and download the Uber app.
  • Tap the three horizontal lines icon in the upper-left corner of your screen to show a menu of options.
  • Tap the Settings option towards the bottom of the menu.
  • Select Privacy from the drop-down menu.
  • Tap Delete Your Account at the bottom of the Privacy page.
  • You’ll then be asked to confirm your identification by re-entering your Uber account’s email and password. If your account doesn’t have SMS texting enabled, you’ll be prompted to enable it by sending a text to the supplied phone number.
  • After you’ve enabled SMS texting on your Uber account, go to the Verification Code text box and enter the code that was texted to you.
  • You’ll be led to a screen that confirms your account will be deleted right away. The account will be completely wiped from Uber servers after 30 days, giving you the opportunity to reactivate it if you change your mind. Tap Proceed to the next step in the deletion process.
  • Uber will ask you to choose from a list of reasons why you wish to remove your account. Choose one of the best describes you.
  • You’ll be asked whether you’re sure you want to delete your account on another screen. To delete your account, go to the bottom-right corner of the screen and select Delete. After that, a notification will display informing you that your account has been erased.

It will take another 30 days for your account to be completely terminated. Your account will be renewed with all your data intact if you log in at that period.

What happens after deleting Uber account?

Your Uber account will be terminated when you first wish to delete it. This indicates that the account is still active. If you do not sign back in after 30 days, your Uber account will be permanently terminated. You have a 30-day window to change your mind, and if you decide to keep your account, simply login back in to reactivate it.

If you delete your account, you lose any credit, promotions, or prizes associated with it, as well as your rating, which means you’ll have to start again if you wish to use Uber again. Uber states that it may preserve certain information after you delete your account “as required or permitted by law,” but does not elaborate.

Conclusion

The same 30-day deactivation policy applies to a simpler approach on the website. Uber sends you email updates on the status of your account until it is confirmed that it has been terminated. Open a browser and navigate to the Uber official website if you’re on a PC. Locate and click the ‘Help’ tab at the top of the window after logging into your account. You’ll see a plethora of alternatives that will lead you in various ways. Click ‘Change my account settings’ under ‘Account and Payment Options.’ Scroll down and pick ‘Delete my Uber account’ from the list of alternatives. To go to the last page, click ‘DELETE MY UBER ACCOUNT’ on the following confirmation screen. 

Most Commonly Asked Questions

Here are some additional Uber solutions to your most often asked inquiries.

How can I get rid of my Uber account without also getting rid of my Uber Eats account?

Regrettably, your Uber Eats and Uber account are the same things. If you remove one, you must also remove the other (unless you use a different phone number and email to access your accounts). You can, however, contact Uber’s customer service team for further information.

What is the time frame for deleting an Uber account?

When you choose to remove your account, it will be deleted instantly. For the next 30 days, you can log in with the same phone number/email and password. Your account will be permanently deactivated after the first 30 days.

How do I regain access to my Uber account once it has been deleted?

All you have to do now is log into your Uber account if you’re still within the 30-day grace period. You will need to create a new account when the 30-day grace period expires. You won’t be able to see any of your previous rides or material.
