<p>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 <code>minikube start</code> to 192.168.99.101, etc. I've run to delete Minikube:</p>

<p><code>
minikube delete
rm -rf ~/.minikube
rm -rf ~/.kube
</code></p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>After issuing <code>minikube delete</code>, I removed the following file:</p>

<p><code>/Users/{username}/Library/VirtualBox/HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0-Dhcpd.leases</code></p>

<p>Starting minikube again reset the address to .100.</p>
