Guide to delete Uber Eats Account using web browser

Reading Time: 4 minutes

In 2014, Uber introduced its online meal ordering and delivery service, Uber Eats. Food is delivered by couriers who travel by vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or foot. It is in use in more than 6,000 cities across 45 nations. Due to forcing restaurants to charge the same price for delivery and dine-in if they wish to be listed on UberEats’ app and charging fees of 13–40% of revenue, the firm is being sued for antitrust price manipulation. Well, this is how the company operates. But, what about the part of it that is actually connected to you? Yes, we are talking about ordering food, but perhaps you no longer want to avail of their services because it’s proving to be burdensome for your pocket. This may lead you to delete your Uber Eats account.

What you need to know about deleting your Uber Eats account

It can be tough to delete your Uber Eats account because you also need to delete your main Uber account. Within 30 days, you can deactivate the account and reactivate it without losing your previous credits or ride history, but after that time, the account is permanently destroyed.

You might want to think about just ceasing to use Uber Eats, perhaps by retaining the main Uber app on your iPhone or Android phone while removing the standalone Uber Eats app.

After the 30-day time has passed, Uber will destroy the majority of your account data from its servers, but it will keep certain undisclosed data about how you used your account.

How to delete your Uber Eats account via a web browser

• Now, the first thing that we will be taking into account for this guide is the web browser itself which can be anything ranging from Google Chrome and Firefox to Microsoft Edge. The overall steps will be the same. 
• Go to the official Uber Eats website using your choice web browser on a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
• Choose Sign In.
• Select Next, then type the email address or mobile number linked to your Uber Eats account.
• Enter your password, then choose Next once more.
• Within a minute or so, if your account has Two-factor authentication enabled, a text message with a four-digit code will be delivered to your phone. When you have this code, enter it into the website’s area and click “Verify.” Your account on the website for Uber Eats should now be signed in.
• In the top-right corner, click on the name of your account.
• Choose Help.
• The Account and Payment Options heading should be chosen.
• “Delete my Uber Eats account” is the option.
• You’ll be prompted to enter your password once more and a new browser tab will appear. Enter it there and then choose Next.
• All of the connected Uber services that are associated with your account will be displayed to you. Click Continue when you are prepared.
• Select a justification for account cancellation.
• To complete the deletion process, choose Delete account.
• You will see a brief confirmation message on the screen to indicate that your request has been handled. The site and all of your apps will now log you out of your Uber account. Within 30 days, your account will be terminated.

NOTE: One thing that you must remember is that deleting your Uber Eats account would entail deleting your Uber account. So, if you don’t want that to happen you can just somehow stop yourself from ordering.

NOTE: To summarise you need to remove your entire Uber account in order to delete your Uber Eats account. This includes the Uber taxi-hailing app. You can uninstall the Uber Eats app from your Android or iOS phone if you merely want to erase it. But take note—the primary Uber account is still active.

Clearing confusion between Uber Eats and Uber account

• There are two distinct services that distinguish the Uber account from the Uber Eats account.
• Uber is a service that allows you to order a ride to get to work, any appointment, a social gathering, or your house.
• You can hire an Uber driver to take you wherever you need to go.
• In contrast, Uber Eats is a food delivery service that lets you choose a dish from a participating restaurant.
• A food delivery driver will pick up the order at the restaurant and deliver it to your home once you pay for the meal using the Uber app.
