Unable to delete eSIM on my iPhone 15 Plus

I want to delete an eSIM and it doesn't go away, not through delete eSIM and not through reset "delete all eSIMs" either.

I saw in some forums that other people resorted to reset to factory settings, but why??? if there is a button "delete" why doesn't it simply work??

as I said in the title: e-SIM would not delete! and I also started with the main idea "I want to delete an eSIM", that's the issue. How else to explain what I want? I already explained what I tried, so that I do not get as suggestions the basics. Hope now it's clear(er).

It is not.


  • Why delete this eSIM?
  • Are you planning to replace it with another?
  • From the same cellular carrier?
  • Do you currently have any other eSIM on this iPhone?
  • Is this iPhone being sold or transferred?
  • Is it managed by a school or employer?
  • Is there a change of region involved?
  • What other possibly relevant details and/or motivations have you not shared?
