Links to images on third party sites are unlikely to get many views. It would be better if you gave a description of what the feature is in VMWare and why VirtualBox would be improved by having it.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Googling 'vmware workstation "clean up virtual machine"' suggests that this feature is an automatic disk compact after the guest is shut down.
To get the developers to see about the idea you would have to submit it on the Bugtracker as an Enhancement Request.
That said....
Oracle's development on free Virtualbox comes from developments on Oracle's pay-for virtualization system which is derived from Virtualbox. The license to begin getting developer support on Oracle's pay-for virtualization product starts at $1220 for the "Socket" version (whatever that means) or $6100 (that's $61 per license, 100 license minimum, for the multi-seat license). The developers have said they have their hands over-full handling Oracle's customers' development needs, so enhancements suggested by free users may not be be high on the list unless the enhancements coincide with rich paying customers' needs, or unless the developers see it on the Bugtracker and fall head-over-heels in love with it. That said, users can contribute code, and free Virtualbox is open-source, so someone could figure out how to implement what they'd like Virtualbox to have and submit a code suggestion.
