If you have run out of space you may have corrupted the image.

The settings and path for the image file are kept in 
~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml

You can edit these there, move the image to whichever partition you want and 
try to start it up once more.  With a bit of luck no damage happened, 
otherwise you will have to delete it and start again.

PS. Don't forget snapshots, which also are saved in the same area of your ~/

HTH.
