Hi, you can search in the file .VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml and delete
the section DVDImages, eg:
<DVDImages>
<Image uuid="{cd24b126-904a-47ba-956f-826a31a4e191}"
location="/home/ISO/file.iso"/
</DVDImages>
and make the same in the file Machines/machine.xml
<DVDDrive passthrough="false">
<Image uuid="{cd24b126-904a-47ba-956f-826a31a4e191}"/>
</DVDDrive>
You can search the UUID by the commands:
grep 156f7991 .VirtualBox/*xml
grep -r 156f7991 .VirtualBox/Machines/*
Of course all th VM and VB should be stopped ;)
best regards,
Antonio
