How to Remove or delete eSIM from your phone?

If you no longer need an eSIM or want to switch to a new one, removing it from your device can help free up space and avoid confusion. Below are common scenarios where deleting an eSIM may be necessary:

When Should You Remove an eSIM?

1. No Longer Needed – If you’re leaving a country and no longer require the eSIM (e.g., after travel, study, or business trips), you can safely remove it.

2. Switching to a New eSIM – If your device has limited eSIM slots, deleting an old or inactive eSIM ensures smooth activation of a new one.

3. Expired or Unused Plan – If your eSIM’s data plan has expired and you don’t plan to renew it, removal helps declutter your settings.

4. Troubleshooting – Sometimes, removing and re-adding an eSIM can resolve connectivity issues or prepare your device for a factory reset.
