I tried to install Plan 9 in a virtual machine but it was no go. Now I'd like to delete the broken image, but I have a broken snapshot as well and I cannot delete that either.

Can I just delete the p9.vdi file, or will that cause even more trouble.

Wish I could run Plan 9 :(

ubuntu 8.10
v3.0.0 r49315


Well, no help forthcoming I just went ahead :

  rm -r .VirtualBox/HardDisks/p9.vdi .VirtualBox/Machines/p9/

I got a bit of a fright when I opened up the Sun VitualBox app and got a warning about missing disks... but I was then able simply to delete the stillborn Plan 9 machine without trouble.

So, no problems. But no Plan 9 either :(

No problems, but... Sun VirtualBox still thought the components of the
stillborn Plan 9 machine were "there", although I'd deleted them. I looked in the other files in the .VirtualBox directory, found references to the <HardDisk>'s and <Image> in VirtualBox.xml, deleted them, and NOW things seem to be OK.
