How to Fix Virtual Box VERR_DISK_FULL Error

1. Update Virtual Box
Make sure that your virtual box application is up to date, as few versions of the virtual box have some bugs and issues related to the VERR_DISK_FULL Error. With the new version, the bug has been patched. So it is suggested that you should update the application. For reference follow the steps.

- STEP 3. Now here, according to your OS download the virtual box application
- STEP 4. Once you have downloaded the application, install the application
- STEP 5. Check if you are still experiencing the same error
2. Check Hard Disk Space
Make sure that your PC hard disk has sufficient space. If the space is insufficient the error might trigger and your process will stop. While creating a virtual machine you have to give at least 10 GB of space to make everything work. If space is less the system files will not install and thus the error appears.
Furthermore, if you have already created multiple virtual machines then also it creates conflict with space as well as services. So you have to be sure that all the things are right.
3. Hard drive Partition
Make sure that your hard drive is been partitioned with the NTFS format. However, if you have formatted with the FAT32 or similar partition than the error might appear. This is because the FAT32 format can copy or move files larger than 4 GB which can be a problematic thing. So make sure that the hard drive partition must be NTFS formatted.
4. Download Correct File
Since there are multiple Softwares that can do virtualization it might get a little complex. Majorly there are two programs, Virtual Box and VMware. These two have different disk image file formats. Virtual box supports .ova file format, on the other hand, VMware supports .vmdk. So it might get a little confusing for the users and they might get confused between these two files. Since in this article we are specifically talking about the virtual box, so make sure that the image file you have to download is in .ova format.
5. Make sure that Host Drive isn’t Full
If you have tried all the methods above and the error still persists, then it can be because of the host drive. If it is full then the error appears. You can access it with the df -h command.
