Redmi Note 4, the successor of Redmi Note 3, was a huge hit when it was introduced in the Indian market through the online flash sale. Before, Redmi note 4 came Redmi Note 3 which grabbed the attention of the Indian youth with the latest features at an affordable price. The same did happened with Redmi Note 4 and it banged the Indian market.
But, since nothing is perfect in this world and therefore as everything has its own flaws. Redmi Note 4 also came up with Mi cloud account, which was developed by Redmi to provide security to their customers but at the same time it became the worry of customers.
Like every Redmi phone, one has to create an Mi cloud account while logging in to the phone. Once you get logged in and create your mi cloud account you get a dedicated account number which you can use to backup all your files that has been synchronised to the Mi server.
Removing Mi cloud account on Redmi 4-Is it pain in the A**?
Removing the mi cloud account can be the pain sometimes when you don’t know the actual procedure to remove it. Suppose you are away from home and your account gets locked, you cannot even do anything on your phone. You phone will be like a dead phone to you without any use.

However, if you are not tech friendly guy then reaching out to the nearest Mi service centre would be the best problem solving method to you. But, once you know the actual procedure and the files that is required to remove or unlock mi account then you can do it very easily sitting at your home or in a hotel room (if you are away from home on vacation).
Required files to remove Mi account
The process to remove mi account from Redmi Note 4 is easy, yet there are some of the files which needs to be already present in your laptop or PC. The first file you need to download is QUALCOMM drivers. All the MI Redmi Note 4 phone uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 Chipset. The drivers for chipset are most important to keep the phone working in a good condition.
The next file you need to download is Mi flash tool. This tool can be very in the condition of firmware update, Flash recovery, unbrick bricked Android device etc.).
Now you have to download the last file i.e., Mi account remove file. The file is about 300kb in size. However, Mi account unlock tool can also be used to unlock mi account.

I have seen that some of the devices gets stuck at the boot menu after the Flashing of the ROM. This is mainly due to not using the stable ROM and using some other custom ROM.
