Change VirtualBox VMs Folder Location

Post by HaftBR »

Hello!
 
I installed Virtualbox and chose to install on another partition of my main HD, because I did not want to use the space of my main HD, however, i verified that the VirtualBox VMs folder was installed in my main user: C:\Users\HaftBR\VirtualBox VMs, occupying 8 GB in size (which i've specified for the VM's HD).
 
How can i change this folder to the other HD partition? In this case, i'd like to know how i can move the files contained in this folder to the desired location:
Logs
Rwindows 7 (VirtualBox Machine Definition)
Rwindows 7.vbox-prev (File VBOX-PREV)
Rwindows 7 (Virtual Disk Image)
 
Thanks.

For any VMs that you've already created, see Moving a VM.
For any new VMs that you want to create, change the default VM location: VirtualBox » Preferences » General » Default Machine Folder.
