When you delete an Uber driver account, the action is non-reversible and results in the complete deletion of everything attached to the Uber account. This includes your rider account and any credits or reward points. If that's too drastic, you can opt to deactivate the driver-partner account, an action that only affects the driver account. This wikiHow will teach you how to delete and deactivate your Uber driver accounts using the website and the mobile app.
Steps
-
Open Uber Driver. This app icon looks like the word "Uber" in white above an arrow on a black background that you'll find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching. -
Tap ☰ . You'll see this three-line menu in the top-left corner of your screen.Advertisement -
Tap Help . You'll see this at the bottom of the menu under "Account." -
Tap Account and Payment . You'll see this in the second grouping of help topics under "All Topics." -
Tap Changing account settings . This is usually the second listing on the menu. -
Tap I want to delete my account . You'll find this below "Turn off text or email updates." -
Type "Yes" or "No" to answer the questions. If you delete both your rider and driver accounts, you'll be deleting your entire Uber account, including any bonus rewards and credits. If you answer "No" to deleting your rider account, but "Yes" to your driver account, you are only deactivating your driver account, so you'll be left with an active rider account. -
Tap to toggle the appropriate switch. You can choose that you signed up to drive with Uber by mistake, you don't want to use the driver-partner account anymore, you have multiple accounts, or other.- If you choose "Other," you'll need to type in an explanation.
-
Tap Submit . You can only tap this when the previous steps are completed, such as choosing which account to close and an appropriate reason.- You may be prompted to enter your password again to confirm the action.
