You can cancel Uber Eats through the app or website in under two minutes
To cancel your Uber Eats account, open the app or go to ubereats.com, tap your profile icon, select Settings, then Account, and choose Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Uber Eats will deactivate your account immediately, though the company may retain some data for legal and tax purposes for a set period.
If you have an active order when you try to delete, you must cancel that order first. Uber Eats will not let you proceed with account deletion while a delivery is in progress or pending. Once the order is resolved, you can return to Settings and complete the deletion.
Cancelling your Uber Eats account does not affect your Uber (ride-sharing) account if you have one. The two services use the same login but maintain separate account records. You can delete one without touching the other.
Key Takeaways
- Account deletion happens immediately through Settings > Account > Delete Account in the app or on the website.
- You cannot delete your account while an order is active; cancel any pending delivery first.
- Deleting Uber Eats does not delete your Uber ride-sharing account, even though they share a login.
- After deletion, you will no longer receive Uber Eats notifications, and your saved addresses and payment methods tied to the service will be removed.
Step-by-step deletion on mobile
Open the Uber Eats app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. This opens your account menu. Select Settings from the list of options.
In Settings, scroll down and tap Account. You will see several options including payment methods, addresses, and preferences. At the bottom of the Account section, you will find Delete Account. Tap it. Uber Eats will ask you to confirm by typing your email address or selecting a confirmation button, depending on your app version. Once confirmed, your account is deleted.
Step-by-step deletion on the website
Go to ubereats.com and log in with your email and password. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
On the Account Settings page, look for the Account section on the left sidebar. Click Account, then scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see a Delete Account button. Click it and confirm your email address when prompted. Your account will be deleted immediately.
What happens to your data and saved information
When you delete your Uber Eats account, your saved addresses, payment methods, order history, and preferences are removed from the service. You will no longer receive promotional emails or push notifications from Uber Eats.
Uber retains some information for legal, tax, and fraud-prevention purposes, even after deletion. This typically includes transaction records and account details needed to comply with financial regulations. You cannot retrieve deleted account data yourself, but you can request information Uber holds about you under data privacy laws in your state or country.
If you have a credit with Uber Eats (from a promotion or refund), that credit is forfeited when you delete the account. Use any remaining balance before you delete.
Reactivating or creating a new account after deletion
Once you delete your Uber Eats account, you can create a new one using the same email address immediately. However, Uber may flag the new account if deletion and recreation happen within a short time frame, particularly if you are trying to exploit promotional offers.
If you want to use Uber Eats again without deleting, you can simply stop using the app. Your account will remain inactive but will not be charged. You can log back in at any time to reactivate it without going through setup again.
Difference between deactivating and deleting
Uber Eats does not offer a formal deactivation option separate from deletion. When you delete your account, it is gone. If you want to pause using the service without losing your account, simply stop opening the app and do not place orders. Your account will remain dormant and can be reactivated by logging in.
Some users prefer this approach because it preserves their order history, saved addresses, and payment methods. If you think you might return to Uber Eats in the future, leaving your account inactive rather than deleting it may be simpler than recreating everything from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel an Uber Eats order without deleting my account?
Yes. To cancel a single order, open the app, go to Your Orders, find the order you want to cancel, and tap Cancel Order. You can do this before the restaurant accepts the order or, in some cases, shortly after. Cancelling an order does not affect your account.
What if I forgot my password and cannot log in to delete my account?
Go to the Uber Eats login page and tap Forgot Password. Enter your email address and follow the reset link sent to your inbox. Once you reset your password, log in and proceed with account deletion through Settings.
Will deleting Uber Eats remove my Uber ride account too?
No. Uber Eats and Uber (rides) are separate services that share a login. Deleting one does not affect the other. You must delete each account separately if you want to remove both.
Can I get a refund if I delete my account?
Refunds depend on what you are requesting. If you were charged for an order and want your money back, contact Uber Eats support through the app before you delete your account. Once your account is deleted, you cannot access support through the app, though you may still contact Uber through other channels if needed.
How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?
Your Uber Eats account is deactivated immediately when you confirm deletion. You will not be able to log in or place orders right away. Uber may take additional time to remove your data from its systems, but from your perspective, the account is gone as soon as you complete the deletion step.
