Docker desktop mac wont update docker compose

I updated docker desktop for Mac (intel) this morning to Docker Desktop 4.9.1. My docker compose version won’t seem to update. When I run docker-compose --version in my terminal it returns docker-compose version 1.25.5, build unknown. I tried installing docker-compose with brew and after some tinkering I got confirmation that it installed version 2.6.0, however after restarting docker desktop and my computer, I still get 1.25.5 when I run docker-compose --version.

How can I force docker to use a newer version of docker-compose?

NOTE: In my docker-compose.yml file I have version 2 running.

    The only way I was able to solve this was to completely manually uninstall docker desktop and all docker related items from brew. I deleted every docker file I could find from my lib and then reinstalled.

    My docker compose also came via Docker Desktop on MacOS and it did not update/had the latest the latest version of docker-compose. I resolved this by installing docker-compose via brew:

    https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker-compose

    brew install docker-compose

    Don’t forget to follow the after-install instructions:

    "Compose is now a Docker plugin. For Docker to find this plugin, symlink it:"

    mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins
ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/docker-compose/bin/docker-compose ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
