How to completely delete your Mi Account from your Xiaomi Mi TV 9: all working methods

Deleting the associated Mi Account from the Xiaomi Mi TV 9 (or 4S/5X series models) is a challenge that users face when selling the device, transferring it to another family member, or after buying used equipment. The process is complicated by the fact that the manufacturer has integrated FRP (Factory Reset Protection) protection, which requires entering a username / password after reset. Without the right sequence of actions, the TV can turn into a “brick” with a constant authorization request.

In this article, we'll look at all the current ways to delete an account, from standard untidying through settings to forced bypassing locking. We'll focus on the nuances for Android TV 9/10/11 firmware, because the algorithms are different. If you bought a TV from your hands and the previous owner didn't remove the binding, here you'll find a solution even for these cases.

⚠️ Important: Once you delete your Mi Account from your TV, all personal data (view history, stored Wi-Fi passwords, application settings) will be permanently lost.

1. Standard account deletion through settings

If you have access to the Mi Account password and the TV is not locked, use this method - it is the most secure and does not require a data reset.

Go to the settings menu: Settings (⚙️) → Account and security → Mi Account. In the window that opens, select the exit option (or delete account depending on the software version). The system will request a password, specify it and confirm the action. After that, the link will be removed, but local data (installed applications, screen settings) will be saved.

• ✅ Pros of the method: does not require reset, saves user data.
• ❌ Cons: you need access to the account password, does not work on locked devices.
• ⚠️ Nuance: On some firmware, after logging out, the TV may request a re-authorization when connecting to Wi-Fi. That's OK -- just skip the step.

If the option "Delete account" is not on the menu, then your version of PatchWall is outdated. Update the firmware through Settings → About TV → Update the system or use alternative methods from the following sections.

Before deleting your account, check if Google Play purchases (movies, apps) are linked to it.

2. Delete account through reset to factory settings

To minimize the risks, do the reset correctly:

1. Open Settings → About TV → Reset and Recovery.
2. Select Reset All Settings (not to be confused with Reset Network Settings!).
3. Confirm the action by entering PIN-TV code (by default 0000 or 1234).
4. Wait for the reboot (it will take 3-5 minutes).

⚠️ Attention: On the TVs Xiaomi Mi TV 9 with Android firmware TV 11+ Resetting via the settings menu may not remove Mi Account completely, in which case you will need a hardware reset (section 3).
