Not enough space on my VDI

[CorinneS]

I am on MAC OS, with Virtualbox 5.2, and I've created an linux vdi. But there is not enough space anymore, can i extend it with creating a new one ? Thanks

Read the FAQ "How to resize a Virtual Drive".

Thanks Socratis, but I am not sure about what it means "fixed drives" is it when in the information about the vdi it is written "fixed size storage" ?
Is it better to create a new vdi ? Thanks !

information about the vdi it is written "fixed size storage" ?

You can go to the media manager and get information about the VDI. If it says "Dynamically allocated" then... it's not fixed.

Is it better to create a new vdi ?

Well, if you don't mind losing everything, then why don't you go ahead and create the VM from scratch, a new VM altogether.

Well, if you don't mind losing everything

He might have been asking whether it was better to add another drive to the VM.

I created a new vdi, but now I have problems with the network , it says the activation of the network has failed !
Shall i still install Adition for that ? I installed Ubuntu 18.04.

The network and the Guest Additions have nothing to do with each other. But, since the question does not involve your VDI space, I suggest you open a new thread with an appropriate title and describing the problem in detail.
