Hi all,
To save some HD space I started discarding snapshots. The first one
discarded fine and freed up disk space. The second one I tried to discard
produced an error message that HD space was not sufficient which I think is
incorrect because around 11gb was available. I also assumed discarding
snapshots would free up disk space and not use more disk space but that
might have been a wrong assumption.
Now I have only one node in the VirtualBox GUI named 'Current State' which
is what I wanted but now the VM fails to start with error message below.
The snapshots folder is empty.
Is there a way to recover my VM? It seems it is gone.
To prevent future disasters: is discarding snapshots a safe operation? Is
there some useful documenation that explains how these problems can be
prevented?
Thanks and Regards,
Onno
