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.

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.

You'll see this at the bottom of the menu under "Account."
You'll see this in the second grouping of help topics under "All Topics."
This is usually the second listing on the menu.
You'll find this below "Turn off text or email updates."
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.
