Warning — this cannot be undone
After removing an eSIM from your device it will be permanently deactivated on the network and cannot be reactivated. If you have remaining data and want to keep it, do not delete the eSIM. If you need more data in the future, you will need to purchase and activate a new plan.
If your eSIM has expired and you want to remove it from your device, follow the steps for your device below.

Want to add more data instead?
If your plan has run out of data but you don't want to lose the eSIM profile, you can top up instead of deleting. See our guide: How to add more data to an eSIM.
