Problem with Vagrant up - Homestead-7 already exists

Question

Dear Friends, I need your help. I am trying to install the Windows using the Master. I followed a step-by-step but could not access index.php, so I decided to do it all over again. But when I give a Vagrant up it appears that there is already the machine Homestead-7, even after I have deleted it with Vagrant Destroy.

$ vagrant destroy
homestead-7: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'homestead-7' VM? [y/N] y
homestead-7: Destroying VM and associated drives...
$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'homestead-7' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> homestead-7: Importing base box 'laravel/homestead'...
==> homestead-7: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> homestead-7: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead-7' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.

Answer 1

Try to access your virtualbox with the graphical interface, there should be a virtual machine there called Homestead-7. Delete it and try again.

This happened to me and deleting the machine by virtualbox the error disappeared.

Answer 2

Use vagrant global-status to view all the virtual machines you have configured and the status of each of them:

$ vagrant global-status
id       name    provider   state    directory                           
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2720c15  default virtualbox poweroff /home/giovanni/Vagrant/wordpress    
6c7b42f  default virtualbox poweroff /home/giovanni/Vagrant/wildfly      
384662f  default virtualbox poweroff /home/giovanni/Vagrant/mariadb 

Then you can use the command vagrant destroy referring to the id from the machine to remove it.
