I am following this question: How to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox? and I know want to remove the .iso, but it's not the same as in that question. Here is what I see:

enter image description here

What I should do?

I also tried from Machine -> Settings -> Storage, where I could locate the .iso file in the Storage Tree, but the right click on it, is giving me a list with one item, Remove attachment, but it's disabled.

  • I see "Remove disk from virtual drive", ...looks good enough. – mikewhatever Jan 22 '16 at 21:35
  • Oh is that OK @mikewhatever, I thought it meant the hard disk, let's see. I did that, I pressed Restart Now, it remains clicked..and I wait. Is this normal, I ask myself? :/ – gsamaras Jan 22 '16 at 21:40
  • You removed the disk while the computer was running off of it. It's ok to click the X in the top left and click "Power off the machine" – Grammargeek Jan 22 '16 at 21:43
  • Thank you @Grammargeek, that should be a good edit in your answer. ;) – gsamaras Jan 22 '16 at 21:45

    Oh, and just a little fun fact, if you clicked "Restart Now", Ubuntu would have ejected the disk for you :) – Grammargeek Jan 22 '16 at 21:48

    You do read Release Notes? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes It says a bug on virtual installs. unable to press ENTER to reboot. Powering off and back on should boot you into your installed system. This is being tracked in bug 1447038 – oldfred Jan 22 '16 at 23:08

Go to "Devices>CD/DVD Devices>Remove disk from virtual drive" from the top bar on your screen.

If you accidentally remove it while the VM is still running off of it, you can press the host key (usually the Windows flag on the left of your keyboard) and R to reboot it.
