TL;DR: Delete a travel eSIM only when you are done with it. Removing an active RoameSIM profile usually means you cannot scan the same QR again.
Before you delete
- Trip finished and plan expired? Safe to remove.
- Still need data abroad? Do not delete - fix settings instead.
- Changing phones? Read transfer eSIM to new iPhone and reinstall guide.
Delete eSIM on iPhone

Delete eSIM on Android / Samsung

- Select the eSIM → Remove / Delete.
After deletion
Label confusion drops, battery impact from extra radios can improve slightly, and your dual-SIM list is cleaner. Need data again? Buy a new RoameSIM plan.
