Hi Arya, 

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.

Hi my name is Zain Saleem and I made an upwork account a while back with my personal email address. I didn't really use it at all and now I made an account with my email address which i use for professional purposes without being about the poicy for multiple account. I would like to delete the previous account so that I am no longer in violation with UpWorks policies and require instructions on how to do that.

Hi Zain,

 

Please know that users are not allowed to have more than one account. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about your old account? I'll check that for you and assist you accordingly.

 

Thank you.

Hello,

I have a Client, Agency & Freelancer account in one email address and I have created another Client account in the same email address, so I want to delete that another client account.

It's not letting me because I have one or more proposals in place. How can I delete the extra client account?

Thanks.

Hi Nirali,

 

Can you please click on my name and send me a PM with the name of the client account you wish to close? As soon as I get your message I will assist you in closing it. 

 

Thank you.

Hello
I have created an upwork account years ago and totally forgot about that since the email that I was using then was my for my school. I tried to log.in to that email for the purpose of deleting the account but it always says invalid. I don't remember if I change the email to that account or I deleted that account already. I know upwork only allows one account per freelancer and Im very much willing to comply to that, i'm just not sure if the original account I used to create upwork (years ago) was deleted or if I change the email address to that. Can Upwork inform me if that account was already deleted

Looking forward to your response

Hi David Lex,

 

Could you please share the details of the old account you're referring to so I can check? You can click on my name to send me a PM. Thank you.

Hello,

 

I've created an Upwork account a long long time ago but I don't remember the email that is linked to the account that's why I created a new one. I believe that account was not verified. I want to delete that, I'm not even using that, I can't open that account anymore.

 

Please help.

Hi Mary,

 

Could you please reach out to me via PM (click on my name) with any additional information you might remember for your account. Thank you.

I have an Upwork client account with an email address from Gmail that I'd like to close.

I also have a freelancer AND client account with a Yahoo email which I want to continue to use, but once the Upwork Gmail account is closed, I want to switch the settings to use my Gmail address instead.Can you help please?

When I go to 'Delete account' on my Gmail Upwork account it says I have to contact Support Services.

Hi Chiara,

 

Could you please send me a private message with more information along with the Upwork usernames or registered email addresses so that I can check and assist you further?

 

Thank you.

I don't seem to be able to send you a private message. When I click on your link to send you a message, the message says:

 

An Unexpected Error has occurred.
  • Your request failed. Please contact your system administrator and provide the date and time you received the error and this Exception ID: 14173021.

    Click your browser's Back button to continue.

Hi Chiara,

 

You were not able to send private messages due to your Community rank. Now that it updated (it takes up to two hours), you should be able to send them.

 

However, as we already have both of your accounts here, there is no need for a private message.

 

Regarding your concern, we can go ahead and close the account with the Gmail address (the account from which you posted first on this thread) and after that, you can go to Settings > My Info and update the email address. Would you like us to go ahead and close the account?

Thank you.

Yes please, delete my Gmail Upwork account!

Yes please! Close my Gmail Upwork account.

Hi Chiara,

 

Thanks for confirming! Your account has been closed as per your request.

I am having difficulty closing and merging old accounts.   I've contacted support and they have been unable to assist.   I have several businesses that I own.    Many of these businesses have accounts that are no longer in use and are associated with a credit card that needs to be removed.   I am unable to use this credit card with my new account because the system says it's been used on 7 other accounts, three of which are active and 4 inactive.     I would like to close the inactive accounts associated with my credit card.   Upwork support said they are unable to close the inactive accounts because I still have active accounts.   This makes no sense.     I need to speak to someone to resolve this issue as I would like to avoid cancelling the card altoghether.  Please give me advice on how to resolve this issue.

Hi Christopher,

 

I can see that you already have an open ticket. I have gone ahead and followed up with the team that's handling your case. One of our agents will update your ticket to assist further.

I can't delete my upwork account as a client. I don't have any existing jobs, and I am my own 'company' technically. Can someone from UpWork delete it for me?

Hi Sofia,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Your account is now closed as per your request.
