Hi there. I am working with Oracle VirtualBox==>Ubuntu 12.04 VM as the guest OS. A week or so ago I clicked on Take Snapshot button somewhere and after a couple of minutes the Tab on the left (in the left pane of the VB) changed from Ubuntu-32-VM (The name I gave it when it was created) to Ubuntu-32-VM (Snapshot 1) and since then stayed there.

I also tried to create a clone and was successful but the clone showed on a separate Tab. When I clicked on Take Snapshot I expected it to be also as a separate software like the clone.

How can I get rid of the SnapShot 1 qualifier?

Thanks, - Alex

A snapshot is a frozen version of your files, to which you can revert at any time.
Have a read of http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#snapshots

Jeremy hi,

Thank you for the pointer. I went to the link and found some useful information. Still I want to get rid of the Snapshot since I found that it takes disk space and I have no intention to use it in the future (that state of the VM that I saved). So far I haven't been able to get rid of it. This is the quote from the link you gave me.

In the VB I have if I right click on the snapshot which is my sole VM now I can see only one option: Discard Saved State. So, I clicked on it and nothing happened. I mean it took the VB a couple of minutes to process it but the qualifier (Snapshot 1) did not disappear. It stays there even after I rebooted VM.

I finally found the place where I could delete the snapshot for real. Thanks, The problem is solved.
