Hi Vikram,

 

If you'd like to close your account, first make sure you withdraw any active proposals on your Proposals page

complete and close any active contracts and don't have any available or pending balance. Then you can close your account by visiting this page. For more information and detailed steps, please visit this help article.


As a gentle reminder, please know that you will not be allowed to create a new account. If you need to use your Upwork account again in the future, you can reach out to us through our different support channels, and we will assist you with reinstating your account.

I am writing to request the immediate deletion of all accounts associated with my identity. I recently discovered that an account was created in my name without my permission while I was working with an agency. This situation has caused me a great deal of concern.

 

I have since left the agency and wish to ensure that no unauthorized accounts remain active. I kindly request your assistance in closing all such accounts linked to my information.

 

I am deeply worried about the potential implications of this situation and would greatly appreciate your prompt help in resolving this matter.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Dear Upwork Support Team,

I'm writing to clarify the recent email I received regarding a data request. I don't recall making such a request. If this is related to my previous account deletion request, I'd like to formally withdraw that request. I no longer wish to delete my Upwork account.

Please disregard my previous account deletion request and consider this message as a formal withdrawal of that request.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Ruth Jacob.

You need to wait for Customer Support to reply to your Support ticket. There is nothing anyone can do here.

I want to officially request that upwork deletes account, emails, phone numbers and any other information they have on file. I have not participated in any jobs or hired anyone from upwork, just need my account deleted (not closed but completely deleted). Does anyone know how can I send my request?
