Works fine for me. Is your VM powered off when you try to delete it? Are there snapshots?

This is actually working as designed. You have to first delete all snapshots before you can actually delete the VM. It was done in order to reduce complexity and will be addressed later.

This should work and VirtualBox 2.2.0 improved things.
Could you be more specific please? This should actually work.
