Clean up intentionally deleted Virtualbox drives manually
So I deleted 2 virtual disks from a Virtualbox VM the wrong way: I removed them from the guest config, but forgot to remove them from the media list, and deleted the files and directories from the filesystem. So I see the disks as errored in the media list, they have associated snapshots, so I get errors about them being in use and if I try to delete the associated snapshots via the GUI or vboxmanage, I get
VBoxManage.exe: error: VD: error VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND opening image file [location]
Of course the snapshots are also gone (well....these were old vmdk files I mounted, so the snapshots may not even be real). So how do I manually remove these ghost entries from my Virtualbox config? I suspect there's a config file or a registry entry, but I'm not sure where to look.
