You have 2 options to remove the eSIM.
Option 1: Go to “Settings” > “Mobile Data” > “Delete eSIM”.

It's also worth mentioning that your carrier might have the best information for you. If you have questions, contact your phone plan provider directly.
Should I send proof of disconnection?
No need to send us proof of account disconnection. After the device gets to the seller, they’ll make sure no personal information or accounts are on it before processing your request. If they notice passwords, accounts, or any blockers still on the device, we’ll reach out to you for further information.
