<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am running Vbox 3.1 Beta 3 on a Windows 7 Host. I
believe the “empty” value hasn’t been included showvminfo
print out. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I have a VM registered that has controllers with “Empty”
mediums attached to it. The VM below has an empty DVD attached to the IDE
Secondary Master, and a Floppy attached on “Device 0”. From
the command line there is no way to know something is attached on that controller,
which makes it difficult to delete the VM. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Ideally, I would really like to see a “--force” switch,
which will allow you unregister and delete a VM, even if there is something attached
to it. <o:p></o:p></p>
