Ticket #2943 – Description

-              initial
+              v2
 If you delete the snapshot files/folder by hand, you still can not delete the snapshot from the VirtualBox. You just receive a "file not found" error. However, it is now possible to delete the locked child hard disk. After this point, you can remove the snapshot, and remove the virtual machine completely.
 A summary:[[BR]]
+. Snapshotted virtual machine cannot be deleted.[[BR]]
+. Discarding a snapshot results in duplicated hard disk.[[BR]]
+. Reverting and trying to discarding a snapshot results in another duplicated hard disk.[[BR]]
+. After this point, snapshots cannot be discarded or reverted.[[BR]]
+. One of the child hard disks can not be deleted or released regardless of the snapshot status by using Virtual Media Manager.[[BR]]
+. Deleting snapshots by hand results in file not found error.[[BR]]
 . After deleting snapshot files, removing the child hard disk, snapshots and virtual machine in this order is possible.

 ''PS: Removing a virtual machine has to be simpler, and less complicated for the user. The process has to be automatic, and file removal must be asked to user. Throwing errors is not a good way.[[BR]]
