Uninstalling Minishift

Overview

This section describes how you can uninstall Minishift and delete associated files.

Delete the Minishift VM and any VM-specific files:
```
$ minishift delete
```
This command deletes everything in the $MINISHIFT_HOME/.minishift/machines/minishift directory. Other cached data and the persistent configuration are not removed.
To completely uninstall Minishift, delete everything in the MINISHIFT_HOME directory (default ~/.minishift) and ~/.kube:
```
$ rm -rf ~/.minishift
$ rm -rf ~/.kube
```
With your hypervisor management tool, confirm that there are no remaining artifacts related to the Minishift VM. For example, if you use KVM, you need to run the virsh command.
