I have a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1) and I have minikube installed. The installation was done following https://medium.com/@seohee.sophie.kwon/how-to-run-a-minikube-on-apple-silicon-m1-8373c248d669 by executing:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-darwin-arm64
sudo install minikube-darwin-arm64 /usr/local/bin/minikube

Have you tried to follow any online material to delete Minikube?? Test if this works for you and let me know if you face any issues.

Try using the below command :

minikube stop; minikube delete &&
docker stop $(docker ps -aq) &&
rm -rf ~/.kube ~/.minikube &&
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/localkube /usr/local/bin/minikube &&
launchctl stop '*kubelet*.mount' &&
launchctl stop localkube.service &&
launchctl disable localkube.service &&
sudo rm -rf /etc/kubernetes/ &&
docker system prune -af --volumes

This works. I saw this reference before I posted but it was not clear to me if I can trust it – Amir Paster Sep 06 '22 at 08:30
Just watch out for: `docker system prune -af --volumes`, because it **clears ALL your docker volumes**. Not only kube related. – Mariusz Olszowski Jul 27 '23 at 10:52
