<p>You can remove a VM from <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> or move the VM and its associated
files, such as disk images, to another location on the host. </p>

conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> machine list and select <b
outputclass="bold">Remove</b>. </p>

The confirmation dialog enables you to specify whether to only
remove the VM from the list of machines or to remove the files
