Before the Guest OS I had allocated 8GB while 10GB were free, sometime during the installation of the Guest OS the free disk space warning come up, so I closed out of the Virtual Machine, went to the VirtualBox Media Manager, detached the hard drive and then ""removed"" it. After doing this and shutting down Virtual Box, Windows Claimed I had only 732 KBs of Free Disk space left. No installation of programs or additional data was implemented during this issue. There is clearly something wrong here, I started out with 10GB of free disk space and now even after removing the Virtal Hard Disk, I'm down to 732 KBs! That is a tremendous unbearable loss. I need a solution as I have programs and personal data on this machine that I wish to retain and do not wish to have to reformat and spend days or even a week reinstalling and configuring and setting up my computer the way I like it due to a flaw in Virtal Box. Please tell me how to recover the disk space that VirtualBox allocated for the Virtal Machine.",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 3.0.10,worksforme,Hard Disk Free Space Problem,,Linux,Windows
