Error when importing virtual machine in VirtualBox

After having a problem with my external drive, I had to re-import the old images in a new VirtualBox installation and started facing the following error:

Document is empty.
Location: 'D:\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu 18.04\Ubuntu 18.04.vbox', line 1 (0), column 1.


Ok, so after navigating to that directory and opening the referred vbox file (Ubuntu 18.04.vbox), I realized it was empty.

Fear not! In the same folder should exist another file with .vbox-prev extension. All you need to do is to delete this 0-byte file, rename the .vbox-prev to .vbox and re-import it.

Best of luck!
