After this problem I uninstalled minikube using chocolatey and installed again, it worked. Now after minikube version 16, I never faced this issue again, may be it is fixed or not sure.

Sorry I'm using the translator.

The same error happened to me, I simply deleted the minikube from my VM, which in this case is the HYPER-V, and then ran the minikube delete --all
