I just manually delete the folder with snapshots on my encripted machine stored in *.vbi file. All other files are ok.
Can I somehow make virtual machine work again or it is broken forever?

Broken forever.
Well, actually just the fist one, the base snapshot, will be the only one that's going to work. Read the "Snapshot basics" to understand why.

Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Even recovering the base VDI won't be a gimme when encryption was used. It seems that someone really hated the data in this VM.
