Start the GUI. Highlight the 'broken' VM'. Right click and a menu will
appear. Select "Discard Saved State". You get to keep the VM but this
will remove the crashed saved state. When you next start the VM it
should boot like a cold boot.
You obviously need more space to do this since the "Saved State" file
can be almost as large, often is, as large as the original VM.
