How to uninstall Xiaomi Cloud on Windows

Xiaomi Cloud (小米云服务) shows the photos, notes and other data synced to your Xiaomi account; that data lives in Xiaomi's cloud, so uninstalling the PC app does not delete it. Download anything you want a local copy of first, and keep files you already saved to this PC, which stay where you saved them. This guide covers Xiaomi Cloud installed machine-wide from the Xiaomi.XiaomiCloud winget package; it shows in Settings as 小米云服务.

Quit Xiaomi Cloud first

Quit Xiaomi Cloud from its window or tray icon. It runs several 小米云服务.exe processes at once; check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) that none is still listed before you uninstall. It added no startup item in this test.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find 小米云服务, and choose Uninstall, or run:

winget uninstall --id Xiaomi.XiaomiCloud

The uninstaller asks for administrator access, since the app was installed for all users.

Where the data lives

Location	What it holds	What to do
`Program Files\MI\Xiaomi Cloud`	Program files	Left behind in this test; check it after the uninstall and remove it yourself
`Program Files\MI`	Folder shared by Xiaomi's PC apps	Leave it while another Xiaomi app, such as MIUI+, is installed
`%APPDATA%\XiaomiCloud`	Login, settings and the app's caches and logs	Keep it if you plan to reinstall; remove it to clear the saved login
`%APPDATA%\XiaomiCloudStorage`	Local storage for synced content	Empty in this test; check it before removing
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\XiaomiCloud-updater`	Downloaded update installers	Safe to remove
Start Menu and public desktop shortcuts	Shortcuts	The uninstaller removes them

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes:

Get-Process 小米云服务 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id Xiaomi.XiaomiCloud
Test-Path "$env:ProgramFiles\MI\Xiaomi Cloud"
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\XiaomiCloud"
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\XiaomiCloudStorage"

No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown.
A completed winget list query with no match means the package record is gone; a matching row means the uninstall did not finish.
Test-Path on the program folder returning True means it is still there; remove Xiaomi Cloud itself, not the MI folder above it.
The last two returning True mean your login, settings or local storage are still there, which is expected unless you removed them yourself.

Account

Uninstalling does not sign this PC out of your Xiaomi account on Xiaomi's side or delete anything in Xiaomi Cloud. Manage signed-in devices and cloud storage from your Xiaomi account.

What Mole lists

For Xiaomi Cloud installed machine-wide from winget:

The Start Menu and public desktop shortcuts are selected by default.
%APPDATA%\XiaomiCloud is listed but not selected, since it holds your login and settings. Its caches and logs (Cache, Code Cache, Crashpad, DawnCache, GPUCache and logs) are listed on their own and selected.
%APPDATA%\XiaomiCloudStorage is listed but not selected.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\XiaomiCloud-updater, which holds only downloaded installers, is selected by default.
Program Files\MI\Xiaomi Cloud is not listed; check it and remove it yourself after the uninstall.

What this test covered

Tested on 2026-09-28 with Xiaomi Cloud 3.0.2 installed through winget, machine-wide, without signing in. The NSIS uninstaller ran silently, and every listed row was ticked and removed in this test. Not verified: a signed-in account, synced photos, or local storage with content.
