Deleting a Google account with Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 may be necessary for a variety of reasons: you sell a phone, want to change your profile, or have a synchronization error. But the process is not always obvious — especially if the device is locked or requires FRP bypass. In this article, we will discuss all working methods, including standard deletion through settings, reset to factory settings, and bypass protection in case of data loss.

Important: some methods require unlocking the bootloader or root rights. If you're not sure what you're doing, you'd better go to the service center. But most of the methods in this article don't require technical skills and will work even for beginners.

1. Standard deletion of Google account through settings

The easiest way is to delete your account directly from the phone menu, which is fine if you have access to the device and remember your Google password.

Open Settings → Google Accounts (or Accounts depending on MIUI version) Here you will see a list of all the associated profiles. Select the desired account and click Delete Account. The system can request confirmation with a password or a graphical key.

Once deleted, all of that account data (contacts, mail, calendars) will disappear from your phone but remain in the Google cloud. If you plan to sell the Redmi Note 10, we recommend you also reset to factory settings (more on this below).

Make a backup copy of important data

Make sure you remember your Google password.

Turn off two-factor authentication (if enabled)

Check that your phone is at least 50% charged.

⚠️ Note: If you delete the last Google account on your phone, some features (such as Google Play or Gmail) may stop working before adding a new profile.

2. Removal through reset to factory settings (Hard Reset)

If you don't remember your account password or your phone is locked, you can do a full reset, but remember, after this procedure, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 will require you to enter the data of the last associated Google account (FRP protection), without which it will be more difficult to unlock the device.

To do Hard Reset:

Turn off the phone.
Press the Power + Volume buttons up at the same time until the Mi logo appears.
From the Recovery menu, select Wipe Data → Wipe All Data.
Confirm the action and wait for the process to be completed.

After the reboot, the phone will prompt you to set it up as new, and here you will see a request to enter Google data if the account was previously linked.

What is FRP and why does it block your phone?

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is the reset protection that Google introduced in Android 5.1+. If you reset your phone to factory settings but didn't delete your Google account in advance, the system will require you to enter the last owner's login and password, which is a security measure to prevent attackers from using stolen devices.

⚠️ Note: Some Xiaomi firmware may have an error after the reset: "This device was reset. To continue, log in to a Google account that was previously synced with this device." If you don't remember the data, read the section on the bypass FRP.

FRP bypass on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 (if you forget your Google account)

If you want to reset your phone and you don't remember it, you'll have to bypass FRP. The methods depend on the version of MIUI and Android. We'll look at the current methods for Redmi Note 10 on Android 11/12.

✅ Method 1: Using Wi-Fi (for the purpose of MIUI 12.5 and below)

On the welcome screen, select the Wi-Fi setting.
Click on the password entry bar, then highlight any text and select Share → Gmail.
In the Gmail window that opens, click Add Account → Google and log in to a new account.
Return to the phone setup – the FRP lock will be removed.

✅ Method 2: Through the Developer Mode (for the MIUI 13+)

On the lock screen, click Emergency Call and type ##4636##.
In the testing menu, select Wi-Fi Settings → connect to the network.
Go back and click Settings → About Phone → 7 times click on the MIUI version to activate the Developer Mode.
Return to Settings → Additional → For developers → Enable Debugging by USB.
Connect your phone to your PC and use ADB to remove FRP by command: adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/ adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity

⚠️ Attention: Bypass FRP We do not recommend using these methods on other people's devices - only to unlock your phone.

4. Delete Google account via Fastboot (for advanced users)

If standard methods don’t work, you can delete your account via Fastboot, which requires an unlocked bootloader and command line knowledge.

Connect the Redmi Note 10 to your PC in Fastboot mode (press Power + Volume down when the phone is off).

fastboot erase frp




fastboot reboot

Once rebooted, the FRP lock will be removed, but this method does not work on all firmware — some versions of MIUI restore FRP after first syncing with the Internet.

🔹 Alternative: If fastboot erase frp doesn’t work, try removing the metadata partition:

fastboot erase metadata

💡

Before using Fastboot, make sure that the ADB and Fastboot drivers are installed on your PC. Download them from the official Xiaomi website or through the Mi Unlock Tool.

5. Delete the account through service codes (hidden menus)

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 has hidden service menus that allow you to reset some settings, including account binding. These codes don’t work on all firmware, but it’s worth a try.

📱 Method 1: Code for resetting a Google account

Open the Phone app.
Enter the code: ##7780## (soft reset) or *2767*3855# (full reset).
Confirm the action.

📱 Method 2: Code for logging into the engineering menu

Enter ##4636##.
Go to Phone Information → Perform a data reset.

⚠️ Attention: Code *2767*3855# It does a complete reset without confirmation and deletes all data, including photos and apps. Use it only if other methods have failed.

6. What should I do if nothing helps?

If you’ve tried all the ways, but the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 still requires data from your old Google account, there are two options left:

🔧 Contact the service center

Official Xiaomi services can reset FRP on a document confirming ownership of the phone (check or warranty card), the cost of the service usually does not exceed 1000-1500 rubles.

🔧 Check the phone.

Installing custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience) bypasses FRP but requires an unlocked bootloader and can take away warranty.See firmware instructions on the 4PDA or XDA Developers forums.

💡

If the phone is bought with your hands and the previous owner hasn’t deleted your Google account, contact them – this is the only legal way to unlock without losing data.
