If your VM is in the Saved state, and you don't need it: In the VirtualBox Manager, right click on your VM and select Discard Saved State.

Do you mean that Discard Saved State is greyed out and therefore not selectable, or that you cannot find it, because you ignored the VirtualBox Manager part of my answer? ;)

That doesn't make sense to me, and I still think that you misunderstood me. But let's find out:

In the VirtualBox Manager, there is a list of your VMs. If you right click on your VM inside this list, there is no Discard Saved State menu entry? Please post a screen shot of the VirtualBox Manager, including the context menu of your VM inside this list.

Hi,
so far the language is german the translated version would be "gespeicherter Zustand verwerfen/ablegen" which I dont see in the options while right clicking? may be Im doing something wrong?

The "Verwerfen..." option is visible in your screenshot.

ooooh boy! I was confusing that with "entfernen", which means "delete" (the VM).
And I didnt want to ever try it. THKS

Problem solved

As is the expected "gesichert" underneath the VM name. ;)

Well, sort of: Prepend means adding in front of it, on the left side. I deliberately even provided the space character for you. ;)
