@MpumeleloCroc it seems from the logs that it is running on the WSL2 backend on windows. Given the start/stop/delete cycle I'm inclined to think that the volume might be in an inconsistent state hence the recommendation to run minikube delete. This seems to happen at the volume prep layer where the failure (exec /usr/bin/test: input/output error during the preload-sidecar volume check) is a Docker + WSL2 filesystem / volume mount problem,

Sometimes Windows Defender / other antivirus can get in the way here.

Can you try it, having cleared Docker volumes and cache then restart WSL under admin priviledges to see if it can be reproduced.

Please check out this issue to see if it solves this too #22680 and associated PRs
