Snapshot mess

Post by Stickybit »

Hi Guys

I'm having major problems with my snapshots. I use snapshots quite a lot, and it works just fine - until I start deleteing them. Then snapshot files are lost, and cannot be found when trying to delete more snapshots. :-o

Could someone please tell med how to clean up this mess .. so I end up with just the base snap?

It would help if you post your snapshot configuration. E.g. a list of 'VBoxManage list hdds' and the VM config file. A dir listing of the snapshots folder will also help. Then we may be able to figure out what you have and how to solve it.
