Bidirectional moves not working on Ubuntu 18.04

VirtualBox does not work properly with Ubuntu 18.04. I have set the program correctly but I can not transfer files. Only copy and paste text works. On one site it says that you have to unmount everything and reinstall the 'guest additions'. If I do this I get this error.

Code: Select all

Could not mount the media/drive 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).
Codice di uscita: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Componente: ConsoleWrap
Interfaccia: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
Chiamante: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}
Use simple English to answer because I have problems with reading. I am Italian boy.
Thank you

That's the only Copy/Paste that works: text. You cannot Copy/Paste files.

You have a snapshot or a saved state that had the Guest Additions (GAs) CD mounted. Delete that snapshot.

How can I do this thing operatively?
There is a video or a tutorial.
Thanks for everything, you're very kind and very precise.
I apologize for my bad English but I am sure that when you read my speeches you laugh so probably I keep the good mood. :)

Right-click on the VM, Show in <FileManager>. ZIP the ".vbox" file and attach it to your response.
