Seems like there is an unclean previous installation, if you don't care about the contents of the cluster you might want to use sudo kubeadm reset (or use a new VM). Otherwise, the log from kubeadm is needed.

How to uninstall kubectl and minikube completely ( Including configuration files) ?
Can anyone please help

How to uninstall kubectl and minikube completely ( Including configuration files) ?

Answered in the other issue: #4765

Did running kubeadm reset and doing minikube start help anything for this VM ?

[akshayr01]

I tried that, but it didn't work.

The verbose minikube log might have some more clues. minikube -v5

Thank you for sharing your experience! If you don't mind, could you please provide the output of:

sudo -E ./minikube start --vm-driver=none --alsologtostderr -v=5

This will help us isolate the problem further. Thank you!

The issue is resolved, I had exported some wrong file in kubeconfig, I uninstalled the kubectl and reinstalled it got resolved. Thanks for helping me out.
