“Docker Desktop is stopping” on macOS

I had this issue with infinity loading and Docker did not started at all. I found a lot of recommendations to reinstall Docker and delete all Docker data (e.g. https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6576#issuecomment-1315409976).

BUT. Before you will delete all data first check file ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker/settings.json. There is an array of shared paths:

"filesharingDirectories": [],

Set this array empty or just check and remove wrong paths. I had one broken path there. After updating this file Docker started to work finally! And I saved all Docker caches and built containers.
