Deleting running VM snapshot leaves the .sav file on disk

Description

The snapshot file for running VM (.sav) remains on the disk after deleting the snapshot. Issue appeared with 7.0.4 and was not there in 6.1.xx.

I have multiple running VM snapshots so it takes time and effort to identify the unused .sav files and delete them manually.

Issue is replicated easily as mentioned on the forum's thread.

Hello,

We just released VirtualBox 7.1.8 which is available on the Downloads page. This issue should be fixed in this version.
