How to Delete Google Account from Xiaomi Phone: 5 Ways to Delete Your Google Account

Deleting a Google account from a Xiaomi phone is a procedure that may be necessary when selling a device, changing a profile or fixing sync errors. However, many users face difficulties: the system requires a password from an old account, an FRP Lock error occurs, or data is not deleted completely. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to delete a Google account on Redmi, POCO and Black Shark smartphones running MIUI 14/15 and Android 13/14.

It is important to understand that simply deleting your account through settings doesn’t always work because of Factory Reset Protection (FRP). If you plan to sell or transfer a device, it’s not enough to just log out of your profile — you need to completely reset your anchor. Below you’ll find step-by-step instructions for different scenarios, including when your password is lost or your phone is locked.

1. Standard deletion of Google account through MIUI settings

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

• 🔹 You have access to your phone and password from your Google account;
• 🔹 The device is not locked after resetting;
• 🔹 You don’t plan to sell your phone (in this case, it’s best to do a full reset).

To delete the account:

1. Open Settings → Google Accounts (or Passwords & Security → Google Accounts in new versions of MIUI).
2. Select the appropriate account (if there are several).
3. Click Delete Account in the upper right corner.
4. Confirm the action by entering the device password or pattern lock.
