The easiest way is to detach that disk from any VM. After that you can delete the disk in the VirtualBox administration, obviously without really deleting the file; you will be asked for it. After that you can move the file to the desired directory and you can give it any name you want. Next you add the disk in the VirtualBox administration. After that you can attach the virtual disc at his original drive in a VM. The more advanced method is to edit the xml files in the VirtualBox administration. Somewhere there is/are (a) pointer(s) to the original location of the .vdi-file. Change the pointer(s) to the desired location and move the file to that location. I have done this without having any snapshot. -- fr.gr.
