I released that way... but not sure if remembered to remove..
At any rate I've got it so screwed up now I think its a lost cause.
I don't recall what all I may have done now.

Yes, I did make one lonesome snapshot just to see how it worked.

After scanning thru the name.vbox (xml) file... I see how the snapshot
is spread across all drives.

I've resigned to just remove them by hand even though it means I get
that missing drive at each start.  I've created (or am creating) a new
vm and will absorb those drives and try to extract the data.

But all of it is data especially chosen to be lose-able during my
experimenting so no harm done at all.  Just some lost work time.

But also learned a bit from it about using vbox better.
