Delete Vagrant box

Vagrant Docs

BOX REMOVE

Command: vagrant box remove NAME

This command removes a box from Vagrant that matches the given name.

If a box has multiple providers, the exact provider must be specified with the --provider flag. If a box has multiple versions, you can select what versions to delete with the --box-version flag.

Ref: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/box.html

You can delete them inside Virtualbox as well.

vagrant box remove laravel/homestead --box-version=0.1.7 

I gave you what you needed but of course someone replying with the command without getting you to read the docs is always better :)

done my friend :D

Didn't mean for you to change it but thanks :P long live documentation!

Yep i should definitely use more my brain and think a bit more about problems .. :D

I forgot to mention: Thanks to @bashy for the info! :)

Thanks @bashy this worked perfectly!

Just made a plugin that makes this quite alot easier, just run one command that removes all old versions of boxes on your host mach9ine :)

https://github.com/swisnl/vagrant-remove-old-box-versions

why can not use vagrant box remove --all ?

PRUNE: This command removes old versions of installed boxes.

To see which will be removed and which will be kept if you ran the prune command: vagrant box prune --dry-run

If you like what you see: vagrant box prune to actually execute the deletion

example output

> vagrant box prune --dry-run  
The following boxes will be kept...  
laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 5.0.1)  
ubuntu/trusty64   (virtualbox, 20171012.0.0)  

Checking for older boxes...  
Would remove laravel/homestead virtualbox 2.0.0  
Would remove laravel/homestead virtualbox 4.0.0  

> vagrant box prune
The following boxes will be kept...
laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 5.0.1)
ubuntu/trusty64   (virtualbox, 20171012.0.0)

Checking for older boxes...
Removing box 'laravel/homestead' (v2.0.0) with provider 'virtualbox'...
Removing box 'laravel/homestead' (v4.0.0) with provider 'virtualbox'...

the more specific the answer the better. in the docs I don't see an = but this solved:

vagrant box remove laravel/homestead --provider=hyperv

vagrant box remove laravel/homestead --provider=virtualbox --all
