How to Sign Out of a Google Account on Xiaomi: 5 Ways to Work

Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones often face the need to delete their associated Google account — whether before selling a device, after resetting or when switching to another profile. However, standard deletion through settings does not always work due to the features of MIUI and FRP (Factory Reset Protection) protection. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to log out of Google account on Xiaomi devices in 2026, including bypassing the lock after the reset.

The problem is complicated by the fact that once you delete your account through your settings, it can remain active in the background services, and when you reset your phone, it can require you to re-enter data. We tested all the methods on the latest versions of MIUI 14/15 and identified those that work on Xiaomi 13/14, Redmi Note 12, POCO F5 and other models. Importantly, some methods require unlocking the bootloader or developer mode, which we will also describe in detail.

1. Standard exit from Google account via MIUI settings

The easiest method that works if you have access to your phone and remember your account password is suitable for most Xiaomi models on MIUI 12-15:

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to Google Accounts (or Memory and Sync → Accounts on older versions).
3. Select your Google profile (usually displayed by email).
4. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Delete Account.
5. Confirm the action with a password or graphical key of the device.

⚠️ Note: After deleting an account through this method, some services (such as Google Play or Gmail) may stop working before re-signing in. MIUI 14+ After the reset, a request for data entry by Google may appear again due to the FRP-defense.

💡

If the Delete Account button is inactive, check if the Device Administrator feature for Google apps is enabled. Turn it off in Settings → Applications → Special Access → Device Administrators.

2. Delete the account through the menu "Users and accounts"

An alternative method that sometimes works even when standard removal is blocked is suitable for Xiaomi with multiple user profiles:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → System system → Users and accounts.
• 🔍 Find the Google tab and tap on your account.
• 🗑️ At the bottom of the screen will appear button Delete account – click it.
• 🔐 Confirm removal through unlocking the screen.

This method often helps bypass restrictions when an account sticks to the system after an incorrect exit. If the delete button is missing, try first to disable sync for all Google services in the same menu.

3. reset to factory settings (Hard Reset) and bypass FRP

If you sell or transfer a phone, a full reset is a must. MIUI after discharge may work FRP-Factory Reset Protection, which requires the last Google account to be entered to avoid this:

4. Delete your account via ADB (for advanced users)

If standard methods fail, you can delete your account via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires USB debugging and access to your computer:

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 your phone to your PC, install ADB Tools, and execute the commands:

adb shell


pm list packages | grep 'google'




pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gms




pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gsf

These commands will delete Google services, but not the account itself.

adb shell content delete --uri content://com.android.providers.settings/settings --where "name='account_to_migrate'"

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB This can cause data loss or soft-brick (cyclical reboot). MIUI 15 Some commands are blocked - you will need to unlock the bootloader.

5 Unblocking your Mi Account as an Alternative to Deleting Google

On Xiaomi devices, there is often confusion between a Google account and a Mi Account. If after a reset, the phone requires Mi data input rather than Google, then the lock is related to the Xiaomi profile.

• 🔓 Go to account.xiaomi.com and log in.
• 📱 In the Devices section, find your phone and click Delete.
• 🔄 If the device is offline, use the Find the device function. → Unlock.
• 📧 Link a new Mi Account after unlocking.

If you have forgotten your Mi Account password, restore it via email or phone number. Newer models (Xiaomi 13T, Redmi K60) may require confirmation via SMS or face scan (if configured).

💡

A Mi Account and a Google account are different locks, and deleting one does not remove the requirement to enter the other after a reset.
