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.
VirtualBox error:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not rename the directory 'C:\Users\Lenovo\VirtualBox VMs\lt-settler_default_1614481073061_45587_1661751471272_95685' to 'C:\Users\Lenovo\VirtualBox VMs\homestead' to save the settings file (VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)

2. After destroying the vagrant machine, open the VirtualBox GUI to check if it still exists. If it does, manually delete the virtual machine. See Figure 2.

3. Based on the prompt, delete the directory: C:\Users\Lenovo\VirtualBox VMs\homestead. See Figure 3.
