Hi

Recently I accidentally deleted some file in one of the virtual box 
directory because I saw a message that it could not rename a certain file 
because it did not clean during the last shutdown. But when I removed it 
and started "vagrant up" it went through and but when I tried to access my 
CMS wordpress site on my localhost machine at 192.168.33.10 it gave me a 
panel that shows it was going re-install my wordpress even though my 
wordpress files are intact.

I was afraid to proceed because I fear that all my work done on my 
website/themes in my public folder on my laptop might get overwritten and I 
will lose a lot of work done.

Can anyone please let me know how I can get back on track again: Below is 
the message I see when I do "vagrant up". I am running windows 10 (64bit).

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'scotch/box'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'scotch/box' version '3.5' is up to date...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: WPDistillery-Demo
The name of your virtual machine couldn't be set because VirtualBox
is reporting another VM with that name already exists. Most of the
time, this is because of an error with VirtualBox not cleaning up
properly. To fix this, verify that no VMs with that name do exist
(by opening the VirtualBox GUI). If they don't, then look at the
folder in the error message from VirtualBox below and remove it
if there isn't any information you need in there.
(P.s. I checked in my VB GUI there was no VMs with the same name)
VirtualBox error:

VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not rename the directory 
'C:\Users\user\VirtualBox 
VMs\build-stuff_default_1496193404567_88071_1577851854867_22901' to 
'C:\Users\user\VirtualBox VMs\WPDistillery-Demo' to save the settings file 
(VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component 
SessionMachine, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "SaveSettings()" at line 3206 of file 
VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

I submitted the above issue on *Vitrual Box forum* and below is the 
response :
*"Vagrant does unexpected things with Virtualbox, so we don't support it 
here. You'll need to try Vagrant's forums."*

I ping ponging now between vagrant and virtual box forums...

can anybody help me get on track again without losing my work?

Best Rgds
Help much appreciated
