I think we kind of did a mistake in the previous release not to think about this, the rightthing to do is,
in the delete --purge code. we need to Check What folders we are deleting...and if there is any folder other than minikube sub folders we should Warn the user if they wanna proceed.

I noticed you left a comment on issue #19769 that describes an alternative solution:

alternatvely we should enforce users to set their minikube home folder to something that is called .minikube, so in the purge we only delete .minikube folder

I replied to the comment detailing why I think this alternative is the best approach and that adding a prompt while keeping the current MiniPath() behavior will actually be not aid in the overall goal of getting users to use a directory named ".minikube" as the config directory.

I'm a little confused about what solution to pursue of the two options presented in the comment. If you want a yes/no prompt that verifies whether the user wants to delete a directory when it's not named ".minikube" then I can rewrite the code. Just let me know, because I'm a little unclear on what direction I should go in.

legacyMinikubeHome := filepath.Join(minikubeHomeEnv, ".minikube")
if _, err := os.Stat(legacyMinikubeHome); !os.IsNotExist(err) {
return legacyMinikubeHome
}
return filepath.Clean(minikubeHomeEnv)
return filepath.Join(minikubeHomeEnv, ".minikube")
}
