Error deleting a snapshot -> duplicate of #15831

Description
Linux host with windows guest and three .vdi disks. If I try to delete the snapshot the process starts, but after merging the first image the progress window closes but the screen still shows the snapshot as existing. However, the first snapshot physical file has been deleted from the disk, but not removed from the .vbox configuration file. The other two .vdi files are untouched. I can no longer start the VM. This has happened on multiple different VMs.

Yes, this is a duplicate of #15831.
I was able, sort of, to get rid of my snapshots by creating a clone, and then deleting the original VM.

Thanks both. Closing as duplicate.


Take a look at #15831. This looks definitely like a duplicate.
