Can I delete snapshot but keep current state which is coming from that snapshot?

Can I delete a VirtualBox snapshot but keep the current state which is under the snapshot? The situation is depicted below:

enter image description here

What I want to do is, delete the "it's working" snapshot to save 10GB of disk space but I want to keep the current state. Can I just delete the snapshot or will it erase current state as well? If not, is there a way to keep the current state while I get rid of the 10GB of the snapshot?

I think this is what you want:

Delete a snapshot.

This does not affect the state of the virtual machine, but only releases the files on disk that Oracle VM VirtualBox used to store the snapshot data, thus freeing disk space. To delete a snapshot, right-click on the snapshot name in the snapshots tree and select Delete. Snapshots can be deleted even while a machine is running.
