As the error message says, the "win7.vbox" and "Windows7L.vbox" files are empty. This does not fit your description that says you deleted some(?) files, you would get a "File not found" error, not a "Document is empty" error.

Do you have a "/media/veracrypt6/win7/win7.vbox-prev" and "/media/veracrypt6/New group/Windows7L/Windows7L.vbox-prev" files? If so copy them to the non "-prev" counterparts. If no, you have to restore these files from a backup.

You did make a backup before starting deleting files, right?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
