I deleted a folder containing a running Vagrant box before realising it was still running.

How can I delete it from Vagrant (global-status) now?

I already removed the Virtualbox VM.

To discard old boxes listed in vagrant global-status (eg. you deleted the folder containing the .vagrant dir from the filesystem) you just need to run:

vagrant global-status --prune

You might need to remove the Virtual Machine directly from your provider (VMWare, Virtualbox, ..) control interface.
