Q: Deleted VirtualBox VDI while VM is running?

I accidentally deleted an ubuntu.vdi while the VM is running. Oddly, the VM is still responsive and running without issues. I expect shutting down the VM will result in total data lose. Any help would be amazing right now. Is there anything I can do to recover the .vdi or preserve the VM operatin...
