9. In the final step, the page will ask you to confirm the deletion permanently. If you agree, your Uber account will be deleted.

What should you keep in mind after deleting your account?

If you delete your Uber account through the app or website, it will be deactivated immediately. However, the account won’t be permanently deleted until 30 days have passed.

During this 30-day period, you can cancel the deletion by logging back in with your details, which will automatically restore the account. Once this period ends, you can confirm the deletion was successful by trying to log in again. After the period expires, all rewards, credits, and promotions associated with the account will also be voided.

If you have installed Uber Eats alongside the Uber app for rides, this account will also be deactivated and then deleted.

If you did not provide a valid phone number when setting up your Uber account, the account cannot be deleted using the verification code. In this case, you should contact the provider by email and request assistance with deactivation.

Conclusion on deleting your Uber account in a few steps

So, as convenient as the app is for daily use, it is also easy to delete your Uber account. Securing it via email address, password, and PIN increases protection and reduces the risk of someone else accessing or deleting your account. It is important to keep the transition period in mind. During this time, your account is only deactivated, but it can be used again at any time. If for some reason the deletion does not work, you can get help from the company’s customer support.
