Removing Devices

Most virtual machine devices can be removed from the virtual machine configuration (except for the main memory, CPU, and video memory).

Note: You can disable any device, except for the memory, without removing it from the virtual machine configuration. To this effect, clear the Enabled option on the corresponding device's pane in Virtual Machine Configuration.

To remove a device:

1. Open the virtual machine the virtual device of which you wish to remove. Make sure that the virtual machine is stopped.
2. Open Virtual Machine Configuration by choosing Edit Configuration from the Virtual Machine menu.
3. Select the device you wish to remove and click the Remove button in the bottom part of the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog.

Note: If you accidentally click the Remove button , click Cancel in Virtual Machine Configuration. Once you click OK , the device will be removed.
