I have my pc with dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. I have a a partition of 62 GB on which I created a Virtual Hard Disk Image using VirtualBox from within Ubuntu and Installed Joli OS. After I uninstalled Joli os and uninstalled Virtual Machine, I still Can not recover the disk space that was occupied by the Virtual Disk Image though I am unable to find the Virtual Disk Image. Can someone help me and tell me how to solve the problem?

Which virtualization application did you use? VirtualBox?– ephsmithJul 21, 2012 at 2:53

Typically the guest partition is just a file. Which host OS did you use?– ephsmithJul 21, 2012 at 2:54

Depending on the version of VirtualBox, the Virtual Disk Image files may be stored in the hidden folder ~/.VirtualBox
, more specifically ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks
.
When you say you are 'unable to find' the files, did you try:
$ find ~ -name '*.vdi'
(assuming you used the default Virtual Disk Image type of file (i.e. '.vdi'))
