We’ve all been there. You tried Uber Eats, ordered that dreamy burrito at midnight, and now your inbox is filled with “Hey, are you hungry again?” messages. Maybe you want a digital detox or you’re just switching to something else. Whatever the reason, deleting your Uber Eats account is totally doable—and yes, even easy.
TL;DR: Want to delete your Uber Eats account for good? You’ll need to delete your main Uber account too—it’s a package deal. Use the app or website to submit a deletion request. You’ll have 30 days to change your mind before your data vanishes like last night’s fries.
First Things First: Here’s What You Need to Know
- Uber Eats is linked to your main Uber account.
- You can’t delete just your Eats account—it’s all or nothing.
- Once you click delete, you get a 30-day grace period.
- If you don’t log back in during that time, everything’s gone.
Important: Deleting your account also removes your ride history, payment info, and other Uber goodies like Uber Rides and Uber Freight (if you’re into big trucks).
Step-by-Step: Delete That Uber Eats Account
Option 1: Use the Mobile App
- Open the Uber app (yep, not just Uber Eats).
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top-left corner.
- Go to Settings.
- Select Privacy.
- Tap on Delete Your Account.
- Follow the steps to confirm.
Option 2: Use the Website
- Go to Uber’s account deletion page.
- Sign in with your Uber credentials.
- Click Continue and follow the prompts.
Once you’ve done this, your account enters a 30-day deactivation period. Just in case you change your mind (or get a really, really strong craving).
What Happens During the 30-Day Waiting Period?
Think of it as Uber’s version of “Are you sure you want to break up?”
- You can still log back in and reactivate your account.
- Your saved data and order history are kept safe—for now.
- If you don’t log back in within 30 days, your account is fully deleted.
So if you’re holding back just in case that sushi place restocks your favorite roll, now’s the time to reconsider.
Cancel Any Uber One Membership First
If you subscribed to Uber One (their membership program), you’ll want to cancel that before deleting your account. Otherwise, you’re risking billing issues.
- Open the Uber app.
- Go to Account > Uber One.
- Tap Manage Membership.
- Hit End Membership.
Avoid those surprise charges by canceling early.

You can also send a support request through the app by going to Help > Account and Payment Options > Deleting my account.
What About the Data They Keep?
When you delete your Uber account, Uber says it removes your personal data from their active systems. Some things may stick around for legal or tax reasons, but nothing creepy.
Important: Uber may keep info like:
- Receipts
- Payment records (for tax compliance)
- Driver-partner contracts (if you’ve driven with Uber)
Basically, they keep what they legally must and sweep away the rest.
Can You Just Delete the App?
Sure, but that won’t delete your account. It’ll only free up screen space.
If you’re going minimalist, deleting the app is fine. But if you’re serious about cutting ties, you have to go through the actual account deletion process.
Bonus Tip: Download Your Uber Data First
If you want a copy of your past orders, payment info, or receipts, Uber lets you download that data. Great for spreadsheet nerds—or just for keeping track of your burrito addiction.
- Go to privacy.uber.com.
- Sign in and select Download Your Data.
- Check the boxes of what you want and click Submit.
Uber will email you a file with all your delicious history.
Decided Not to Delete After All?
No worries. If you’re still inside that 30-day window, just log back in! This will cancel the deletion process and everything will go back to normal—as if nothing ever happened.
And yes, your settings, history, and even saved addresses will still be there.
Recap: The Deletion Checklist
- Cancel Uber One, if you have it.
- Download any data you’d like to keep.
- Delete your Uber account using the app or website.
- Wait 30 days for full deletion—or log back in to undo it.
And that’s it! You’ll be free of late-night cravings (at least digital ones) and your Uber Eats account will be just a tasty memory.
Happy account cleaning!
