Deleting a Yesim eSIM is the same as deleting any other eSIM profile from your device. You’ll need to go into your phone’s settings, select the eSIM you want to remove, and follow the prompts to delete it.

The exact steps can vary depending on whether you have an iPhone or an Android device, so follow the instructions below for your device type.

When to delete a Yesim eSIM

You should consider deleting your eSIM in these situations:

You no longer use the plan: If the eSIM was for a temporary plan or travel, and you won’t use it again, deleting it helps keep your device organized and frees up space for new eSIMs.
eSIM not working properly: If your Yesim eSIM isn’t working correctly, don’t leave it on your phone. Reach out to the provider first to request a Yesim refund or replacement, and only delete it after the issue is resolved.
Switching to a new eSIM: When activating a new eSIM from the same or a different provider, removing the old one can prevent conflicts and ensure your phone connects to the correct network.
Selling or giving away your phone: Remove all eSIMs to protect your personal data and prevent someone else from accessing your accounts or phone plans.
