Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones often face the need to completely erase the digital trail, whether it is a desire to protect personal data or simply change the profile of activity. The interface of the OK mobile application is constantly changing, and finding the desired deactivation option becomes more difficult with each update. In this article, we will analyze the detailed algorithm of actions for Android operating system, taking into account the proprietary shell of MIUI.

Itโ€™s important to understand that thereโ€™s a difference between deleting an app and destroying an account.If you just erase an icon from the Xiaomi Redmi desktop, your data will remain on the social networkโ€™s servers.

Preparing your account for complete deletion

The first step before removing a classmate page from your phone is to prepare carefully. Many users ignore this step and then wonder why the profile is not deleted or why it is still accessible by third parties. On Xiaomi devices with a MIUI shell, it often happens that cached authorization data is stored in the system. So you first need to untie the phone number from all third-party services if they are tied to this OK profile. This can be logging into music services, games or dating sites.

It is also critical to download your archive if your profile contains unique photos or documents. Once you start the deletion procedure, you will only have a short period when access is still possible, but then the files will be destroyed forever. On Redmi smartphones, the archive download process is standard, but you should make sure that there is enough space in the memory of your Android device to save a heavy media library. If you plan to just change the number or mail, you better use the data change function, rather than complete deletion.

โš ๏ธ Note: If you have an active paid subscription or other paid services on your account, you must cancel them separately under My Purchases before deleting your profile, otherwise the money may continue to be debited even after you have filed for closure.

Check if you are the administrator of any groups or publics. When you delete a personal page, group management can be transferred to other moderators or groups will be eliminated. POCO and Xiaomi owners are advised to transfer management rights in advance or delete the created content so as not to violate the rules of the community. Only after these preparatory steps can you move to the technical part of the process.

Delete profile through the mobile application OK

The most common way to remove a classmate page from your phone is to use an official mobile app. Android is unified, but there may be slight visual differences between different versions of MIUI. First, open the app and log in to the profile you plan to eliminate. If you have multiple accounts on your Xiaomi Redmi phone, make sure you're in the right one.

You then go to the profile menu, and this is usually done by clicking on the avatar at the top left or bottom of the screen, depending on the version of OK's interface. You need to find the Settings section, which is often hidden under the gear icon or three dots. In the settings list, look for the License Agreement or About item. It's there, at the bottom of the list, that developers hide the deletion link. This is done specifically to make it difficult for Android users to accidentally delete an account.

Clicking on the deletion link, the system will redirect you to a special confirmation page, where you will need to enter the password from the identity page. On Redmi and POCO smartphones, password entry can be replaced by biometrics if it is configured, but for critical operations like deletion, it is better to have a password at hand. Once the data is entered, the system will warn about the consequences and prompt you to enter the phone number to confirm the operation via SMS.

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Open the OK app and go to profile.
  • โš™๏ธ Find the Settings section through the menu (three dots or gears).
  • ๐Ÿ“œ Scroll through to the item "License Agreement" or "About the programยป.
  • ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Click on the link โ€œOpt out of servicesโ€ or โ€œDelete profileยป.
What to do if the link does not open?
Sometimes the built-in browser of the application on MIUI can block the click on the delete link, in which case copy the link or remember it, open any third-party browser (such as Chrome or Yandex) and paste the address manually, this is guaranteed to open the deactivation page.

Alternative method through the browser on Xiaomi

If you can't do it through the app or want to avoid unnecessary confirmations, you can use a mobile browser. Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones have Mi Browser installed by default, but the instruction is relevant for Chrome, Firefox and others. This method is often more stable, since the mobile version of the site is functionally closer to the full desktop version, where all the settings are clearly visible.

Go to the official social networking site and log in. You'll need to find the settings section again. In the mobile version of the site, the menu button is usually in the upper right corner. After entering the settings, select "Registration" or "License Agreement." The logic of the location of the elements on the site is similar to the application: the feature you're looking for is hidden at the bottom of the legal information list. The owner of the Android device should be attentive, since the mobile layout can hide some of the text.

Once you find the "Delete Profile" link, the system will request confirmation, and it's important not to confuse deleting the page with leaving the account. The Exit button just ends the session, but stores the data. The Delete button triggers the destruction process. A new window may open on POCO and Redmi devices when you click on the link - don't block it, because that's where the final authorization takes place.

Deletion Nuances on Different Versions of Android and MIUI

The removal process may vary depending on the version of the Android operating system and the MIUI shell installed on your Xiaomi.Newer versions of MIUI (13, 14) have enhanced security mechanisms, which may require additional confirmation through Mi Account or password re-entry. Users of older versions of Redmi may find that some links in the application are opened incorrectly due to outdated Android WebView components.

If you have two-factor authorization, the removal process will require you to enter code from an SMS or an authenticator application. This is the standard security procedure for all Android devices. Also, you should consider that some custom firmware for Xiaomi (Global, China, Russia) may have slightly different menu items. In the Chinese version of firmware, some services can be cropped, so you sometimes have to switch the region or use the browser version to delete the profile.

It is important to remember the app cache. If you decide to log in again from the same Redmi phone after deleting your profile, the system may suggest that you restore data from the local cache. To avoid this, after applying for deletion, it is recommended that you clear the application data through the phone settings, which ensures that no old logins will remain in the memory of the Android device.
