Deleting eSIM profiles
Every eSIM.me card has a license that defines how many eSIM profiles can be stored and managed on the card at the same time.
For example, if your license allows 2 eSIM profiles, this does not mean you can only download 2 eSIM profiles forever.
It means you can store up to 2 eSIM profiles on the card at the same time. If you no longer need one of them, you can delete it and free up space for a new eSIM profile.
This guide explains how eSIM storage works and how to make space when your card is full.
What Does eSIM Storage Mean?
eSIM storage refers to the number of eSIM profiles your eSIM.me card can hold at the same time.
For example:
- SINGLE 2 can store up to 2 eSIM profiles
- SINGLE 5 can store up to 5 eSIM profiles
- MULTI 5 can store up to 5 eSIM profiles
- MULTI 7 can store up to 7 eSIM profiles
- MULTI 10 can store up to 10 eSIM profiles
- OMNI 15 can store up to 15 eSIM profiles
The storage limit depends on your license.
Can I Download More eSIM Profiles Later?
Yes. Unlimited eSIM downloads are part of the eSIM.me experience.
Your license only limits how many eSIM profiles can be stored on the card at the same time. If your card is full, you can delete an eSIM profile you no longer need and then install a new one.
Example: if your card has a SINGLE 2 license, you can store 2 eSIM profiles at the same time.
If both spaces are used and you want to install another eSIM profile, you can delete one of the existing profiles first.
After deleting it, one storage space becomes available again.
You can then download and install a new eSIM profile.
Important: You Cannot Delete an Enabled eSIM Profile
For safety reasons, an enabled eSIM profile cannot be deleted.
Before deleting an eSIM profile, make sure it is not currently enabled.
If the eSIM profile is active, first enable another profile or disable the profile if this option is available. Once the profile is no longer enabled, you can delete it.
How to Delete an eSIM Profile and Free Up Space
Follow these steps to remove an eSIM profile from your eSIM.me card:
- Open the eSIM.me App.
- Find the eSIM profile you want to delete.
- Make sure the profile is not enabled.
- Tap on the eSIM profile.
- Open the eSIM profile details.
- Tap the Delete button.
- Confirm the deletion.
Once the eSIM profile is deleted, the storage space becomes available again.
You can now install a new eSIM profile on your eSIM.me card.
When Should I Upgrade My License?
Deleting old eSIM profiles is a good option if you only need a few profiles at the same time.
However, you may want to upgrade your license if:
- You travel often
- You use several mobile plans
- You want to keep more eSIM profiles stored
- You do not want to delete profiles frequently
Upgrading your license allows you to store and manage more eSIM profiles on the same eSIM.me card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my eSIM.me card only allow a limited number of downloads?
No. The license defines how many eSIM profiles can be stored at the same time, not how many profiles you can download over time.
What happens when my eSIM.me card is full?
You need to delete an eSIM profile you no longer need before installing a new one.
Can I delete any eSIM profile?
You can delete an eSIM profile only if it is not enabled.
An enabled eSIM profile cannot be deleted.
Will deleting an eSIM profile cancel my mobile plan?
Deleting an eSIM profile from your eSIM.me card only removes it from the card.
It does not automatically cancel your mobile plan or subscription. For plan cancellation, contact your mobile provider.
Can I install the same eSIM profile again after deleting it?
This depends on your eSIM provider.
Some providers allow reinstallation, while others allow an eSIM profile to be installed only once. Always check with your eSIM provider before deleting a profile you may need again.
Conclusion
Your eSIM.me license defines how many eSIM profiles can be stored on your card at the same time.
It does not mean you are limited to only that number of eSIM downloads forever. If your storage is full, you can delete an eSIM profile that is not enabled and free up space for a new one.
If you often need more profiles available at the same time, upgrading your eSIM.me license may be the best option.
