You have “disc” instead “disk”
Try “VBoxManage closemedium disk /root/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/melian.vdi”

Nope, sorry, it does not work.
I tried this one:
--------------------------------
VBoxManage closemedium disc /root/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/melian.vdi
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.12
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.
Usage:
VBoxManage closemedium disk|dvd|floppy <uuid>|<filename>
Syntax error: Invalid parameter '/root/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/melian.vdi'
--------------------------------
I tried with uid, name, name with path, etc. nothing worked.
And this is the message I get, when trying to create a disc, even if
the matching entry was removed in VirtualBox.xml:
--------------------------------
VBoxManage createhd -filename "melian.vdi" -size 81920 -register
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.12

I was search for a counterpart to "createhd", something like "removehd"...

Hi Thomas.
What about this:
VBoxManage closemedium disk|dvd|floppy <uuid>|<filename>
[--delete]
Does that work?

Yes, I tried that,
first unregistering the machine (with --delete) and after that deleting
the vdi and removing the matching entry from the xml.
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?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi all,
I am trying to delete (removing from media-library) a

I am using 3.0.12. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Presuming your on *nix you can just delete the config file and the
.vdi file.
They are under ~/.Virtualbox
