+    <para>
+      The <command>VBoxManage discardstate</command> command discards
+      the saved state of a virtual machine (VM) that is not currently
+      running. This command causes the VM's operating system to restart
+      the next time you start the VM.
+    </para>
+    <note>
+      <para>
+        Where possible, avoid performing this action. The effects of
+        this command are equivalent to unplugging the power cable on a
+        physical machine.
