Hard Dive space missing

When I removed a Windows 7 VM, space of 45 GB, all my space wasn't recovered. It was at 19GB with the VM, now its at 35. Is this because not all of the virtual machines space was filled, or am I missing space? I also deleted Virtual Box in hopes that it would help, but it did nothing. I am running a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X Lion.

The space has not been freed up because you replied "No" when you were asked if you wanted to delete the physical files. If you want to delete them now - and are quite sure that no other VM is cross referencing the disk - then you can find the files at <userdoc>/VirtualBoxVMs/<former VM name>/.
If you don't find the files there then VirtualBox is not the space hog.
