Community Q&A
- QuestionHow long does it take for an Uber account to be deleted?
Community AnswerThe account deletion process will begin immediately, but it may take several days for the information to be deleted from Uber's servers. - QuestionAfter resigning from Uber, when will I be able to sign again with the same telephone number, but a different email? (The email was the problem, and I could not change it unless I resigned from Uber.)
Community AnswerYou can't change only one variable. Once you put in your phone number and your email, it links the two together. If you want to change your Uber account, you have to change both. - QuestionWhy was my account disabled?Community AnswerUber accounts are usually disabled if there was a problem with the payment method you have on file or fraudulent activity was detected. You can find out details by emailing [email protected] and asking for the reason you account was disabled and what you can do to fix it.
