How to remove the missing old optical disks' VBoxGuestAdditions.iso after uninstalling & installing VirtualBox v7.0.16+?

Post by ant »

Hello,

In my updated 64-bit W10 Pro. PC, I uninstalled my VirtualBox v7.0.14 from C:\winstuff\VirtualBox and installed v7.0.16 into my custom C:\Program Files\VirtualBox7.0.16andUp\. I noticed Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager's Tools' Optical disks tab shows missing old VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file from my uninstalled C:\winstuff\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. I am unable to remove this one. How do I delete it?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I uninstalled .16 and reinstalled .14 into my old c:\winstuff\VirtualBox. I saw the .16 ISO listed and was able to remove it easily. It seems .16 is buggy. I am going to stay with .14 for now.

.18 still has this problem. No one knows how to remove it? :(
