How to completely purge minikube config or reset IP back to 192.168.99.100

Question

I want to completely purge Minikube so that I could start over as if I installed it for the first time to avoid some configuration clashes. Mailnly to have initial IP 192.168.99.100, unfortunatelly it increases on next minikube start to 192.168.99.101, etc. I've run to delete Minikube:

minikube delete rm -rf ~/.minikube rm -rf ~/.kube

I'm running minikube version: v0.31.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 with driver VirtualBox 5.2.18

Answer 1

I found this problem on the Mac with VirtualBox as well. I tried removing the Host Network Manager, but it did not work for me. However, I did find another solution.

After issuing minikube delete, I removed the following file:

/Users/{username}/Library/VirtualBox/HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0-Dhcpd.leases

Starting minikube again reset the address to .100.
