<p>I try to start the minikube according to the minikube status bar in vscode.</p>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hzdjD.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hzdjD.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>But it gives me an error:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Error while starting Minikube. Error: ! Specified Kubernetes version 1.10.0 is less than the oldest supported version: v1.13.0 ,! You can force an unsupported Kubernetes version via the --force flag ,X Exiting due to K8S_OLD_UNSUPPORTED: Kubernetes 1.10.0 is not supported by this release of minikube</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I had installed the minikube via <code>brew install minikube</code> command.</p>
<p>When I try to start minikube from command:</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>minikube start  
😄  minikube v1.14.0 on Darwin 10.13.6
❗  Specified Kubernetes version 1.10.0 is less than the oldest supported version: v1.13.0
❗  You can force an unsupported Kubernetes version via the --force flag

❌  Exiting due to K8S_OLD_UNSUPPORTED: Kubernetes 1.10.0 is not supported by this release of minikube
</code></pre>
<p>Environment information:</p>
<ul>
<li>OS: macOS 10.13.6</li>
<li>minikube version: <code>minikube version: v1.14.0</code></li>
<li>Docker: Docker 2.4.0.0 is currently the newest version available.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-code-vscode" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cloud code</a>: v1.6.1</li>
<li>Vscode version: 1.50.1</li>
</ul>

<p>Context: I started minikube two years ago. Recently, I started using minikube again, install the latest version. I can see the old minikube is activated in the Kubernetes context.</p>
<p>Solution: From this <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/4756#issuecomment-511965746" rel="noreferrer">comment</a> and <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/8844#issuecomment-664567827" rel="noreferrer">comment</a>, I tried the below command:</p>
<pre><code>~ minikube delete --all --purge
🔥  Deleting &quot;minikube&quot; in docker ...
🔥  Removing /Users/ldu020/.minikube/machines/minikube ...
💀  Removed all traces of the &quot;minikube&quot; cluster.
🔥  Successfully deleted all profiles
💀  Successfully purged minikube directory located at - [/Users/ldu020/.minikube]
</code></pre>
<p>Then it works.</p>
<pre><code>minikube start 
😄  minikube v1.14.0 on Darwin 10.13.6
✨  Automatically selected the docker driver
👍  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube

</code></pre>
<p>Additional context:</p>
<p>I didn't enable the standalone Kubernetes server in the docker desktop.</p>
