How to Delete Your Account on Upwork

Before you proceed with deleting your account, please be aware that the action is irreversible. You may want to consider just setting your profile to inactive or invisible if you want some time off instead. But if you’re sure about your decision, here’s how you do it:

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Log into your Account

• Go to www.upwork.com and log in using your registered email and password.
• Once logged in, you’ll land on your job feed page.

Step 2: Go to Settings

• Click on the profile picture on the top-right corner of the screen.
• In the dropdown menu, choose the “Settings” option.

Step 3: Account Settings

• Under settings, you’ll see a tab called ‘Contact Info’. Click on it.
• No need to change your contact information. Beneath it, you’ll find a link to deactivate your account.

Step 4: Deactivate Account

• Click on “Close my account” to start the account closure process.
• Upwork will ask you for a reason for terminating your account. Choose the one that suits your situation.
• Click the “Continue” button.
• On the next page, you’ll be prompted to confirm your intention to close your account. Once you’re certain, click the “Close my account” button.

Things to Remember

• Withdraw your funds first: Before you close your account, make sure to withdraw any remaining balance. Once the account is closed, the funds will no longer be accessible.
• Your reviews will disappear: Remember that after deleting your account, all your job history and reviews will also be deleted.
• You can’t reactivate it: Once your account is closed, it’s permanent. If you want to use Upwork’s services again in the future, you’ll have to create a new account.
