How to Delete Your Upwork Account Permanently

Before you decide to delete your account, please remember that this action is irreversible and your username and account cannot be restored.

Prerequisites

Before deleting your account, you need to:

• Ensure there are no ongoing contracts. You’ll need to end any outstanding contracts. If this isn’t possible because of pending payments or unresolved issues, you’ll need to wait until these are resolved.
• Withdraw any remaining funds. Transfer any remaining money to your chosen payment method. If your account balance is zero, you can proceed to delete your account.

Steps to Delete Your Account

Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to delete your account:

1. Log into your account on the Upwork platform.
2. Click on the upside-down triangle next to your profile picture on the top right-hand corner.
3. From the drop-down menu, choose ‘Settings.’
4. On the left-hand side of the ‘Settings’ page, click on ‘Contact Info.’
5. Scroll down to the ‘Account’ section, and then click on the ‘Close my account’ link.
6. Follow the instructions provided on the next page to finalize the account deletion process.

This will completely delete your Upwork account, and you will no longer have access to your client or freelancer profiles, contracts, or message history. Be sure to save any information you might need in the future before deleting your account.
