You are probably in an inconsistent state by removing the ~/.crc folder manually. Please use the hypervisor manager, or the CLI tool on Linux to remove the artifacts. like virsh undefine crc, after which you perform crc delete -f. (note the force option)

The same issue happened even I remove ~/.crc.

This is the reason why you get this error.

Steps to reproduce

1. Both the MacOS and RHEL machines have been used to successfully deploy a previous release of crc (1.0.0).
2. After I download the new release (1.1.0), and run crc setup, then crc start:

• On RHEL, it failed at domain ‘crc’ already exists with uuid xxxxx, e.g.:

INFO Extracting bundle: crc_libvirt_4.2.2.crcbundle … INFO Creating CodeReady Containers VM for OpenShift 4.2.2… ERRO Error creating host: Error creating the VM: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: virError(Code=9, Domain=20, Message=‘operation failed: domain ‘crc’ already exists with uuid 84b5685a-03bd-4a27-9d44-266d8f2a9272’)

• On MacOS, it keeps hanging at INFO Creating CodeReady Containers VM for OpenShift 4.2.2… for ever. I’ve been waiting for a few hours, before press Ctrl+C. e.g.:

$ crc start -p ~/.crc/pull-secret.txt INFO Checking if running as non-root INFO Checking if oc binary is cached INFO Checking if HyperKit is installed INFO Checking if crc-driver-hyperkit is installed INFO Checking file permissions for /etc/resolver/testing INFO Checking file permissions for /etc/hosts INFO Extracting bundle: crc_hyperkit_4.2.2.crcbundle … INFO Creating CodeReady Containers VM for OpenShift 4.2.2…

1. Run crc stop, crc delete, crc status after start failed.

On RHEL:

$ crc stop Machine ‘crc’ does not exist. Use ‘crc start’ to create it. $ crc delete Machine ‘crc’ does not exist. Use ‘crc start’ to create it. $ crc status Machine ‘crc’ does not exist. Use ‘crc start’ to create it.

On MacOS:

$ crc stop Stopping the OpenShift cluster, this may take a few minutes… ERRO Machine “crc” is already stopped. $ crc delete Do you want to delete the OpenShift cluster? [y/N]: y Deleted the OpenShift cluster $ crc status Machine ‘crc’ does not exist. Use ‘crc start’ to create it.

1. The same issue happened even I remove ~/.crc.
