How do I delete a virtual machine?

Post by trolle »

I have 2 Windows XP virtual machines running on my Snow Leopard OS. I don't know much about this type of computing (i.e. virtual machines), but I added a 2nd XP machine because the first was not running optimally.

I wish to delete the first virtual machine. There is a discard button, however it is always greyed out.

Do I just double click the virtual machine I wish to delete and choose that option? Will all the HD space and other resources I have allocated be given back to my Mac side?

See section 1.10. Deleting virtual machines in the VirtualBox Users Guide.
