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.

Your Uber account will be terminated when you first wish to delete it. This indicates that the account is still active.

Uber states that it may preserve certain information after you delete your account “as required or permitted by law,” but does not elaborate.
