How to Delete Google Account on Xiaomi Phone: 5 Working Methods

Deleting a Google account from a Xiaomi smartphone 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, the account “curls” in the settings, and after a reset, FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is blocked. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to delete a Google account on Redmi, POCO, Black Shark and other Xiaomi phones, including bypassing typical errors.

It's important to understand that simply deleting an account through a menu doesn't always clear the data from the device. Residual files can take up space in memory, and when reset to factory settings, the phone will require you to enter a login and password from the old account, and we'll show you how to delete the profile without consequences, taking into account the features of MIUI 14/15 firmware and Google security requirements.

1. Standard deletion of Google account through settings

The easiest way is to delete your account through the system menu, which is suitable if:

• 📱 You remember the password from your Google account.
• 🔓 Phone is not locked (no request) PIN/graphical key)
• 📶 Device connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or mobile network)

Instructions for MIUI 14/15:

1. Open Settings → Accounts and Sync (or Settings → Memory → Accounts on some models).
2. Select Google from your list of accounts.
3. Put your account in the right place (if there are several).
4. In the upper right corner, click Delete Account (or ⋮ → Delete).
5. Confirm the action by entering the password from the device (if required).

Once deleted, the system will suggest you save backups of your data.Back off if you plan to sell the phone, otherwise new owners will be able to restore your files via Google Drive.

2. Delete account after resetting settings (bypassing FRP)

If you have already reset your phone via Settings → About Phone → Settings Reset or Recovery, but after you turn on, you see a request to enter data from an old Google account, this is FRP (Factory Reset Protection) blocking. It appears on all Android 5.1+ devices unless your primary Google account was deleted before the reset.

The official way to get around FRP:

1. Enter the same account that was linked before the reset.
2. If you don’t remember your password, restore it through Google’s recovery page (requires access to a backup email or phone).
3. After successful authorization, delete your account through settings (see Section 1).

⚠️ Attention: Use of informal circumvention techniques FRP (through ADB, Fastboot or third-party utilities may lead to the device locking IMEI or disrupting Google services. Xiaomi does not provide support for such cases.

3. Delete your account via Recovery Mode (for advanced)

This method is suitable if:

• 🔧 Phone is locked, but you have access to Recovery
• 📦 You need to delete your account without logging in.
• ⚙️ You are ready for possible data loss

Step-by-step:

1. Turn off the phone.
2. Press the Power button + Volume up (on some POCO models - Power + Volume down).
3. From the Recovery menu, select Wipe Data → Wipe All Data (use volume buttons for navigation, power for confirmation).
4. After resetting, restart the device (Reboot).
5. When you first turn on, skip Google account binding (if possible) or enter temporary profile details.

Important: This method does not guarantee removal. FRP-If the account was linked before the reset, the authorization request will appear again. Complete deletion will require official firmware via the Mi Flash Tool (see section 5).

4. Delete your account with ADB (no root)

If the standard methods don’t work, you can delete your account via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which does not require superuser rights, but you need to:

• 💻 A computer with installed Xiaomi drivers and ADB
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original)
• 📱 Included debugging by USB phone-on

Instructions:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and tap the MIUI version 7 times.
2. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB debugging.
3. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
4. Open the command line (Win + R → cmd) and type:

adb shell pm list packages | grep "google"

Find the com.google.android.gms package (Google services) and do:

adb shell pm clear com.google.android.gms

This will reset Google services, including linked accounts, and the account will be deleted after the device is rebooted.

adb shell pm clear com.google.android.gsf

4. Connect the device to a PC. In the Mi Flash Tool, press Refresh, and your model should appear.
5. Select the firmware folder and click Flash. At the bottom, select Clean All.
6. Wait for the end (5-10 minutes). The phone will reboot automatically.
