Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reactivate my Upwork account after deleting it?

No, once you delete your Upwork account, it cannot be reactivated. All your profile data, work history, and earnings records will be permanently removed. If you want to use Upwork again in the future, you'll need to create a completely new account.

What happens to my pending payments when I delete my account?

You should withdraw any available funds before closing your account. Upwork typically processes pending payments according to their normal schedule, but it's recommended to wait until all transactions are complete. Contact Upwork support if you have concerns about outstanding payments.

Will clients still be able to see my work after I delete my account?

Once your account is deleted, your profile will no longer be visible to clients. However, any work you've delivered and messages you've sent may still be accessible to clients through their own account history. Your public profile and portfolio will be completely removed from the platform.
