Hi,
How can i clear the recently used media list for a VM?
Virtual Media Manager (Optical Disks Tab) is empty so all good there. However VM settings [Storage - CD Icon] shows a list of recently used media mounted to the VM (choose Virtual optical disk file). This list is steadily growing and I'd like to clear it down? could someone point me in the right direction ?
cheers

Re: How to clear Recently Used Virtual Media ?
On my two running guests I have the same "recent media" list in both guests showing CD images I definitely did not put in either of them, but in other guests that are not running now.
The meda list is global, it will show the same images on all your guests. I find that as I load images, the list stops at five images, plus my host's two physical and virtual DVD drives. Chances are that your list will stop growing, too.
But if you really want to clear the list you can try this command on the host:
It removed the list of images I used from my guests, and left just the host DVD drives.
