How to Delete an eSIM from a Google Pixel Device

Read before you delete!

You can top up your eSIM for the same destination within 160 days after the activation. That means you can use it again for future trips to the same place. No need to buy and install a new one!

Important: If you delete an eSIM with an unused data plan, it cannot be refunded. The deleted eSIM can’t be installed again.

1. Open Settings:

   • Go to Network & internet.

   • Tap SIMs.

   

2. Tap the eSIM you want to delete

   

   • If the eSIM is off: tap Erase eSIM

   

   • If the eSIM is on: scroll all the way down and tap Erase eSIM

   

3. Verify it’s you

   • Enter your PIN code to proceed with deleting the eSIM.

   Google Pixel devices don’t allow screenshots of this screen. You’ll just see a simple view asking for your PIN. No extra options or settings.

4. Confirm you want to erase eSIM

   • In the “Erase this eSIM?” pop-up, tap Erase

   

All done! You may see a loading spinner for a few moments. Once deleted, you’ll be returned to the SIMs screen in Settings. You can now close Settings and use your phone as usual.
