minikube: error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)

The exact command to reproduce the issue: minikube start kubectl get nodes The full output of the command that failed: error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized) The operating system version: Ubuntu 18.04

I have deleted the cluster using minikube delete. Cleared everything from the config: kubectl config delete-context minikube kubectl config delete-cluster minikube kubectl config unset.users minikube rm -rf ~/.kube/config rm -rf ~/.minikube

Created a new cluster using minikube start Yet - still get the same error. Checking the config: kubectl config view --minify | grep /.minikube | xargs stats
