I need to install PUM image & the following error prevents further installation.

I've updated the File > Preferences > Default Machine Folder: C:\VirtualBox\VM & I've complete access to this folder. There's 199GB free space on C drive.

Changing the path to C:\VirtualBox resolved the issue.

I had used a subfolder under VirtualBox earlier - root cause.

Ah, makes sense. Pointing at a non-existing default VM directory means that there's no way to find out how much space there is on this disk. I can see that the symptoms are misleading/confusing.
