Hard drives stuck in Virtual Media Manager

Post by dfatvb »

I have two .vmdk files in the Virtual Media Manager that have the warning exclamation sign, but can't get rid of them? I deleted the snapshots folder from the virtual machine folder and still can't remove or release (both options disabled). I'd like to remove them, how do I do that?

Don't use linked clones if you don't understand the implications. Full clones will be far safer for you.
