  2. Select the Reset button under the kubeconfig sub-category.

  3. A confirmation message will appear confirming the Kubeconfig reset. Select the Reset kubeconfig button to proceed.

A new kubeconfig will now be created. Once this process is completed, the new kubeconfig can be Accessed and Downloaded as usual.
