This wikiHow will show you how to delete your Uber account, an action that erases your Uber ride history, on your computer, phone, or tablet. Deleting your Uber account (which includes your Uber Eats account) is the only way to delete your history. Your account will remain deactivated for 30 days after deletion. If you don't sign back in within 30 days, your account and all associated information, including your ride history, will be permanently deleted.

How to Delete Uber Activity
