7461 Cannot delete old and unused VM snapshot. Shlomi Fish "Hi all.
I've created a snapshot of my Debian Testing VM (running on Mandriva Linux Cooker) a long time ago, and now I don't want it anymore, but VirtualBox won't let me delete it.
I'm getting:
{{{
Failed to delete the snapshot Before hard-disk resize of the virtual machine Debian No. 1.
Hard disk '/home/shlomif/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Debian No. 1.vdi' has more than one child hard disk (2).
Details:
Result Code:

Component:

}}}
The VM is turned off and the snapshot is occupying unnecessary space on my hard disk. Please help me delete it.
