Answer 1

By chance if someone deletes your vm from VirtualBox VMs folder manually, also in this case your vm would become inaccessible. However, you will not be able to get your machine back but vagrant will still show your vm in the list. To remove it completely from the vm list, go to

\.vagrant.d\data\machine-index 

and open index file. Delete the reference of inaccessible machine. Next time when you run below command, it will not show your inaccessible machine.

vagrant global-status --prune
