Delete Snapshot from the list

Post by reburg »

Hi,
I am not able to delete a snapshot entry from the list of snapshots.
The snapshot no longer exists but the entry is still displayed. I had to restore the VM from a bakkup repository. The snapshots were not saved in the backup. I could only restore the VMDK file.

In the virtualBox GUI I get this errors after trying to delete this snapshot entry:

Code: Select all

Cannot lock hard disk '/home/VirtualBox/Suse Studio/Suse_Studio.vmdk' when deleting a snapshot.
Fehlercode:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponente:
SessionMachine
Interface:
IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976}
I know, that theese files do no more exist. I had converted the virtual machine to the VDI format. The snapshot file does not exist, okay - I don't need it anymore.

The virtual machine is working correctly. I only want to remove the entry in the list of snapshots.
I tried to edit the file "Suse Studio.vbox" manually, but that produced other errors.

Thank you in advance for tipps.
