I'm no Mac expert, but I assume OSX has created a backup in case you want to roll back the update. Windows does something similar and has a clean-up tool if you wan't to delete backups. I assume there is either a clean-up tool or some add/remove programs equivalent in OSX as well.

Please post a ZIPPED VBox.log from the VM.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

OSX guests are only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). See: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.
