Hi,
I have hit a problem that I ran out of space on the default location for VDI and snapshot files (the system drive).
I have insufficient space to "discard" the snapshots into the main VDI record. I have tried moving everything I can off on to another drive to make space available but without success.
End result is that I have a corrupted VBox definition for my virtual machine, so I want to remove it (or if needed the whole VBOX/2) and re-install.
Where does VBOX keep it's configuration - is this in an XML file that I simply can delete and then delete the remaining of the VDI and snapshots or are there also entries in OS2.INI ??
Thanks for any advice
Cheers/2

See http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=5646 for more on a similar situation. The same fix should apply for you.
If you're using WinXP host, the settings and savestates are stored in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.VirtualBox

It stores the profiles and VDI's in the %HOME% dir, as defined in config.sys. On eCS systems, this is usually in:edurrant wrote:Hi,
