Use menu File > Virtual Media Manager... > (select the disk and
expand all/any child nodes under the vdi file (click the triangles to
expand))
You may find that one of the nodes has two {hex}.vdi files at the same
indent level.
Click both and observe the 'Attached to' field at the bottom of the window.
The one that displays 'Not attached' will be an orphan of some kind
(perhaps a failed snapshot or failed Save State or something).
Click it and then click the 'Remove' tool icon to delete it.
Then try deleting the snapshot again.
