qemu-img stores images in current working directory by default. You can specify any target directory and file name.



So, try to remember the work directory location where you had created those images with qemu-img.



Other option is search probable locatios for the extension of image file you use e.g. search for *.vdi in your home directory etc.



Then you can easily manually delete them.
