How to completely delete your Google account on your Xiaomi smartphone: 5 working ways

Why deleting a Google account on Xiaomi is different than other Android devices

Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and Black Shark are all powered by MIUI, which imposes additional restrictions on account management. Unlike pure Android, deleting a Google account can have unexpected consequences, from losing contact sync to FRP-blocking after resetting, especially for devices on MIUI 14/15 with Google Play Services 23.XXX preinstalled.

The main problem is that MIUI does not always properly process the deletion of the main Google account if it was added when you first set up the phone. In some cases, the system continues to request account data even after it is deleted through settings, this is due to the fact that Xiaomi integrates Google services deeper than other manufacturers to ensure the operation of branded features like Mi Cloud and Xiaomi Pay.

In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to delete a Google account on Xiaomi, from the standard method through settings to bypassing FRP-blocking after a reset.

Method 1: Standard removal via MIUI settings

The easiest and safest method is to delete your account directly from the settings menu, which is suitable if:

• 📱 You have access to your phone and lock password
• 🔓 Account is not the main account (not added at the first setting)
• 🔄 You don’t plan to drop your phone to factory settings.

Instructions:

1. Open the Settings. → Google Accounts (or Settings) → PapaSSWORD & SECURITY → Google accounts on new versions MIUI).
2. Select the account you want from the list.
3. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Delete Account.

💡

If your contacts are missing after deleting your account, check them in Mi Cloud (settings → Mi Account → Cloud → Contacts). Xiaomi automatically backs up your associated contacts.

Method 2: Delete via the Users menu (for multiple profiles)

If your Xiaomi has multiple users set up (a feature available on devices with MIUI 12 and later), you can delete your Google account through profile management.

• 👥 There are several accounts set up on the phone.
• 🔒 Main account is blocked, but access to second profile is available
• 📲 You need to delete your child’s account or guest profile

Step-by-step:

1. Go to Settings → System → Additional → Multiple users.
2. Select the profile to which the Google account is linked.
3. Click on the gear icon next to the profile name and select Delete User.
4. All profile data, including linked Google accounts, will be deleted.

Warning: Deleting a user profile will result in the complete loss of all of their data, including:

• 📸 Photos and videos in the profile gallery
• 💬 Messages in messengers (if there was no backup copy)
• 🎮 Save in games (unless they are tied to the cloud)

Method 3: Delete your account after resetting (bypassing FRP)

If you have already done a Hard Reset and your phone requires you to enter your previous Google account, it is FRP-blocking.

• 🔄 Reset made via Recovery Mode or Fastboot
• 📱 A Google account was linked to the phone.
• 🔒 In the security settings, the option "Device protection" was enabled"

There are several ways to bypass FRP on Xiaomi, and let's look at the two most reliable ones:

Method 1: Recovery Mode (for MIUI 12-15)

1. Turn off your phone and press the Power button + Volume up to enter Recovery Mode.
2. Select a language and go to Wipe Data → Wipe All Data.
3. After resetting, instead of entering your Google account, click Skip in the lower left corner. If you don't have a button, connect to Wi-Fi and try again.
4. At the setup stage, select Set up as new device.

Method 2: With the help of ADB-Teams (for experienced users)

You will need a computer with installed ADB Tools and USB-cable.

1. Connect the blocked Xiaomi to the PC.
2. Open the command line and type in: adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/ com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
3. In the window that appears, enter any email and password (even non-existent ones).
4. After an authentication error, go back and select Skip.

Method 4: Delete your account via Mi Account (if your phone is stolen or lost)

Method 5: Completely remove via Fastboot (for advanced users)

If standard methods do not work and the phone is locked, you can delete your Google account through Fastboot mode.This method is suitable for Xiaomi models on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors (for example, Xiaomi 12/13 series, Redmi K50, POCO F4). For MediaTek (for example, Redmi Note 11), the method may not work.
