A recent VBox installation is installed with a running OS on it.
My question, is it possible to dump the guest OS yet retain the VBox installation? I'd like to change my guest's OS.
Thanks to our community for its help.

Of course you can. In the VirtualBox Manager window, right-click on the vm and select Remove.
