Sometimes you may need to remove an eSIM from your device — for example, if a trip has ended, you’re out of storage for new eSIMs, or you no longer need that profile. With Roamvy, deleting an eSIM is safe and easy, and it only takes a minute.

 

Here’s how to delete an eSIM on both iPhone and Android.

 

 

Before You Delete

  • Make sure you don’t need the eSIM anymore - once deleted, it can’t be recovered unless you reinstall it from your Roamvy app, web account, or order email.
  • If you might travel again soon, you can leave the eSIM on your device (inactive) instead of deleting it.

 

 

How to Delete an eSIM on iPhone

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data).
  3. Select the eSIM you want to remove.
  4. Tap Delete eSIM.
  5. Confirm to remove it from your device.

👉 Your exact menu may vary slightly by iOS version.

 

 

How to Delete an eSIM on Android

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Network & Internet (Pixel, OnePlus) or Connections (Samsung).
  3. Go to SIMs / SIM Manager.
  4. Select the eSIM you want to remove.
  5. Tap Delete / Remove eSIM.
  6. Confirm to remove it from your device.

👉 Your exact menu may vary slightly by Android version and manufacturer.
