Minikube: Bug report

[justinhj]

Trying to start minikube using the virtual box driver but it looks like it ignores and tries to use xhyve. I do have virtualbox installed

see below for my software versions

justin:~/minikube (master):$ minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox

Retrying.

Can you try running minikube delete, removing the ~/.minikube directory, and then rerunning minikube start? There is an issue where minikube may have originally stored a configuration to run w/ xhyve but if you delete and remove the dir, your settings should then work.

That worked! Thanks.
