Problem Deleting Snapshots from a Windows 2019 machine

I have a virtual Windows 2019 machine that has a number of snapshots:

I would like to remove some and effectively roll the machine back to 8/6/2024.  I tried just moving the first three to a backup directory but then the machine would not boot and it complained about one being missing.

Failed to start the virtual machine W10PX64-2019X32.

Could not open the medium 'V:\VirtualBox\Machines\W10PX64-2019X32\Snapshots/{4493f192-6fc0-434a-94bd-060798f6be4c}.vdi'.

VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file 'V:\VirtualBox\Machines\W10PX64-2019X32\Snapshots/{4493f192-6fc0-434a-94bd-060798f6be4c}.vdi' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0X80004005)
Component: MediumWrap
Interface: IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}

So how do I proceed?

    Hi,

    Please understand that VirtualBox is not a Microsoft product, and the issue is out of the scope of the Microsoft Support Community. For the VirtualBox questions, it is recommended to ask in the Oracle VirtualBox community

    I thought I posted it in the Oracle VirtualBox forum. I must have put it in the wrong browser window. Sorry about that.
