Like in topic.

that's because MiDrop is a system app that you can only uninstall on a rooted phone (and uninstalling system apps is not a good idea at all!)

But it wasn't installed - i installed it from Google Play ,and then wanted to uninstall

Are you trying to uninstall it from the launcher icon? If so, that won't work. Go to Settings -> Installed apps -> Mi Drop and uninstall it from there.

It's an old security measure that existed from the times when Mi Drop was a built-in system app. I bet Xiaomi will fix it eventually.
In the meanwhile, I fixed it for the next release.
