OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: virtualenv on python.

I am working on window 10 os. I use vagrant for my python environment. But when I try to create new virtualenv in sychronized folder between Window and vagrant. I always get errors: 

[vagrant@localhost develop]$ virtualenv --no-site-packages -vvv labEnv

But when I try to create virtualenv in other folder except sychronized folder. it's ok.

It's likely you have created this virtualenv before. Try workon [name of project] and see if it's able to switch to it. You can simply type workon to view available virtual envs.
