Remove Windows XP partition without deleting virtual machine?
I accidentally created two partitions of windows XP on a virtual machine (Mac Host). How do I remove the extra one?

This is not a VirtualBox question. What you do inside your guest, is your guest's problem, not VirtualBox's. You would call Acer/Apple/HP/Lenovo or another computer manufacturer with that question, would you?
Since this seems to be a new VM, I'd suggest re-installing the VM.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Partitions? I rather doubt that you mean that. You'd have to work hard to create an XP install with extra partitions on the system drive.
Do you perhaps mean that you added two drives to one VM? If yes then remove the unwanted drive and/or controller using the settings Storage panel. Make sure you remove the correct drive, perhaps back up the VM folder first.
