You have "disc" instead "disk"
Try "VBoxManage closemedium disk /root/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/melian.vdi" From: Thomas Trepper [mailto:thomas.trep...@blueclaim.com] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 10:11 AM To: Geoff Nordli Cc: vbox-users@virtualbox.org Subject: Re: [vbox-users] VBoxManage-Question Nope, sorry, it does not work.

But - when I then try to recreate the disc (with the exact name) it tells me, that a vdi with that name (and another uid - the old one) still exists... So to be more precice - how can I delete and remove a disc from the media-library in linux-console-mode?
