The code for this plugin has been merged into Vagrant and is released in 1.9.0. The command is vagrant box prune. See the pull request.

This plugin enables you to automatically remove old vagrant boxes from you host. Just run vagrant remove-old-versions and it will check your downloaded boxes and remove every box that is not the lastest downloaded version.

Internally it uses vagrant box list to get a list of boxes, and vagrant box remove --box-version xxx --provider xxx so it still has all safeguards you expect from vagrant.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-remove-old-box-versions

Usage: vagrant remove-old-versions [options]

Options:

    -p, --provider PROVIDER          The specific provider type for the boxes to destroy.
    -n, --dry-run                    Only print the boxes that would be removed.
        --name NAME                  The specific box name to destroy.
    -f, --force                      Destroy without confirmation even when box is in use.
