Safe to remove vmdk file use for migrating from VMware?

Dear all,
I recently migrated my VM from VMware Fusion to VirtualBox using a collated vmdk file from the former. This now sits on my desktop.

Can I safely change location of this file (Desktop was a bad choice aesthetically) now that everything is up and running? (I assume deletion of said file is out of question.)

Many thanks,
Andreas

You would have to detach it from the guest first in the Storage settings, move it hopefully inside the guest folder, then reattach it as an existing disk.
