Kubernetes Delete hostPath files docker-desktop

Docker Desktop

Even after deleting the persistent volume and claim with kubectl the hostPath file remains on disk. When the pv is re-created the hostPath is picked back up and reused. I’m trying to figure out how you access the docker-desktop node that this file is stored on.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: mysql-pv-volume
  labels:
    type: local
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  capacity:
    storage: 20Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  hostPath:
    path: "/mnt/data"
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: mysql-pv-claim2
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 20Gi

by moving the path to a shared path by docker-desktop I was able to navigate to the files and delete them after the persistent volume was removed.
