Description
Hi,
I installed the latest Windows update (Windows 7 is my guest OS) and an update of the VirtualBox expansion pack this morning. After restart, the majority of my VMs were shown as inaccessible. When I checked, the hard disk files were not present. I looked at the VirtualBox logs and I can see VirtualBox doing the deletion in the logs. I never requested this deletion. Fortunately I have backups. Log files will be attached. Thanks! Jean

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
VirtualBox never deletes user files, unless explicitly instructed when removing a VM, and even then, there is a confirmation dialog.
Where exactly in the log did you see that VirtualBox is deleting things. If you mean the line:
00:00:00.440000 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_FAIL (0x80004005) aIID={b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0} aComponent={MachineWrap} aText={Runtime error opening 'C:\Users\caro2009\VirtualBox VMs\CentOS\CentOS.vbox' for reading: -103(Path not found.).that's not a deletion. That's a warning that your VM is not there. It was already deleted.
