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 have followed all steps but there is no option to delete my account in settings and contact info, can my account be directly deleted by a mod?

I sent in a support ticket(Been over 48 hours without a response) and have reached out to a moderator here that helped with the issue before, but I haven't gotten the assistance necessary.

 

I'm currently writing under this account that I had asked to be terminated so the phone number tied to it can be removed. I thought this request was completed last August but when I created my new freelance account and put my number in, it said it was tied to this account. Can someone please reach out to me to get this fixed? 

 

Thank you,


Aldo

Hi Arjay,

 

You worked with me last time, and I sent you a message earlier about a ticket I already opened, as detailed in my initial query on this thread. You should have a PM in your inbox. I'm not sure if this helps or not but I wanted to make you aware.

I am unable to cancel my membership. There isn't an option under Settings. Please cancel my membership so I don't have to go through my credit card company. Thanks

Try going into your profile. Click on your picture. Scroll down you will see cancel account or something like that. I hope that helps. I will still keep an eye on the card statements.

Hello Team,

It is no use keeping my profile with no viewers to my submitted proposals.

And now my account availability is OFF.

 

I can not keep paying for submitting proposals and again there is no gaurantee if they will be viewed by the clients.

 

Kindly let me know how to delete my account from UPWORK. 

Kindly please delete my old profile too - user id - ea0591e2 (I am unable to login to this old profile)

 

Hi Jayashree,

 

Thank you for reaching out. Your account has been closed as per your request.

Please I'm having  some technical challenges in verifying my phone number before I make job post for my company but unfortunately.  It's showing me "verification limited exceeded" ? How do I solve this problem please

I didn't know this place would be worse than**Edited for Community Guidelines**

I'm a professional migration specialist and I can't see why a platform like this would charge me to connect to low ball jobs so they can take a major cut too.

How do I pruge my profile and have upwork confirm my PII was legally removed?

I used to make almost millions for my last big corp jerks.

I figured out how to purge my profile myself since u clearly don't listen.

Hello,

I have withdrawn all funds and closed all active contracts but I am still not able to close my account without calling a phone number in the USA which I do not want to do.

Will you please close and delete my account with immediate effect.

Kind regards,

Robin Griffith

Hi Robin,

Hello Nikola,

I have just been scrolling through the thread in this forum and it would seem that I am not the only one struggling to close their account. With respect, I don't want to wait any further for Upwork to close my account. It feels as though I am being bounced around from agent to agent without getting any closer to actioning my request. As asked by Upwork, I have withdrawn funds and closed all active proposals that I could. There is one left open which I cannot close as the job has been closed (no longer available). It should not be this difficult to action requests from your customers. Please close it with immediate effect and inform me when this has happened.

Yours faithfully,

Robin Griffith

Hi, I'm a freelancer and I want to close my account, but I'm having some troubles to do that and I didn't find an email or chat for support. What can I do?

Hi Luiggi,
I am in the same situation as you and still waiting for Upwork to sort it out. Contact the forum page. An agent will be in touch with you but I can’t promise that they will fix your problem. If you can, make sure that you have closed/withdrawn all of your existing proposals and withdrawn any funds. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Good luck,
Robin
