Problem with virtualbox on openSUSE Leap 15.6

[Paul Williamson]

Hello!
I need your help.
I’m using Linux openSUSE Leap 15.6.
Last night, I was working on a virtual machine when the power suddenly went out. After this unexpected shutdown, I can no longer start my Windows 10 virtual machine in VirtualBox 7.0. It contains very important files.
Based on the screenshot, it seems that the Windows10.vdi file is either missing or corrupted.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue and knows how to recover the virtual machine or at least retrieve data from it?
Unfortunately, I didn’t make any backups and never thought something like this could happen…
I would be extremely grateful for any advice or help!

If you navigate to the folder /home/PaulWilliamson/Documents/VirtualBox VMs/windows 10/Windows 10/ does that contain the file or any file of approximately the right size?

I suspect that it was being written when you lost power and filesystem repair may have deemed it to be lost.

Here is the contents of the folder

Yeah it's missing the .vdi disk files... did you reboot since? e2fsck might have been run on it. Open a terminal as root and check the lost+found directory at the root of the concerned filesystem, you can consult the output of 'lsblk -f' for the current layout.
