VirtualBox: How to Increase Disk Size (Windows Host) Ubuntu VM
Quick tutorial to resize/increase the disk size of a Ubuntu VM on Windows 10 host without formatting/losing data and commands like VBoxManage. Recommended to have a dynamically allocated disk and no snapshots. If this is a problem, you can just clone it into a dynamic type and only keep the current state. Eliminates the need for VBoxManage. Uses built in tools
See updated method that handles snapshots more easily and uses clone to avoid corruption errors:

Key notes: This was used on a .vdi file with a dynamically allocated disk with no snapshots!
If you have a snapshot, I recommend making a clone/copy and testing it on that.

Extra Note: Ensure there is no snapshots, easy option is to clone the VM and then follow this tutorial otherwise changes might not take effect but looks like it does in some of the menus.
