<p>You can remove a VM from <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> or move the VM and its associated
|
|
files, such as disk images, to another location on the host. </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b outputclass="bold">Removing a VM.</b> To remove a VM, right-click the VM in the <ph
|
|
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> machine list and select <b
|
|
outputclass="bold">Remove</b>. </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The confirmation dialog enables you to specify whether to only
|
|
remove the VM from the list of machines or to remove the files
|
|
associated with the VM.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the <b outputclass="bold">Remove</b> menu
|
|

|
|
and select <b outputclass="bold">Move</b>. </p>

|
|
<p>When you move a VM, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> configuration files are updated
|
|
automatically to use the new location on the host. </p>
|
|
