How to Delete Google Account on Xiaomi 11: 4 Working Methods

Deleting a Google account with Xiaomi 11 can be necessary in a variety of situations, from selling a phone to solving problems with sync or FRP-locking (Factory Reset Protection). However, the procedure has nuances depending on the version of MIUI, model (Xiaomi 11, 11 Pro, 11T or 11 Lite) and even the firmware region.
