Moving a vm, question about 'leftovers'
Posted: 21. May 2019, 21:31
VBox 6.0.8 on Win10
Just discovered, and used, the 'move' function to relocate a VM from my C: drive to a second, internal drive, designated as F:. Everything seems to have worked fine, but I have some question about what I'm seeing.
Let's call the vm vbdb121-01.
After the move, on my c: drive I still have a folder 'vbdb121-01'. In it, there is a 'logs' directory which is empty, and a 6kb file named 'vbdb121-01.vbox-prev. What is this file, and why is the directory left over on the original location?
