An easy-to-follow guide to erase your Uber ride history

Last Updated: August 19, 2022

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 in a deactivated state 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.

Using the Mobile App

1
Open the Uber app on your phone or tablet. It's the black icon that says "uber" in white letters. You'll find it on one of your home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
- If you have a driver account associated with your rider account, this method won't delete your account. Instead, fill out Uber's Delete my Driver account form to request deletion.
2
Tap the menu ☰. It's the three horizontal lines at the top-left corner of the screen.
