| If you have installed minikube before and when running `minikube start` is throwing error `machine does not exist` then simply wipe existing configuration files. |

Not just machine does not exist error, I faced another issue where removing the config file helped.
- Minikube startused to get stuck at starting the VM, and when checked the logs, I would only see a timeout error in a never-ending loop for a particular API call (Not sure which one particularly)
Maybe can we frame this a little generic?

@iamneha This needs better wording. Consider:
Starting fresh after a previous installation
If you have previously installed minikube, and run:
minikube startIf this command returns an error:
machine does not existYou need to wipe the configuration files:
| @daminisatya @daminisatya What the generic update you suggest? | 
| No @iamneha , not this. I will try to reproduce the error and give you the logs if possible. |
