how can i add vbox file to the vbox manager?

2. A Windows VM2 Import in Vbox 6.0.8 (vbox file created)

3. Delete VM1 and VM2 in List in Vbox 6.0.8

This can happen in several ways, but the most obvious is that the newly added VM is a linked clone, and you have to restore the master VM before you can restore the linked clones.
