How to re-size a VirtualBox Virtual machine

I have recently had to re-size my Ubuntu development VM twice as I keep adding Drupal sites and their files to my local dev environment. It is basically pretty simple but can be quite time consuming, I am writing this as I wait for one of the steps to complete myself! I have just installed a new hard drive for the new VM so I am moving the location of the "Default Machine Folder" as will from the VirtualBox GUI, doing this before making the initial clone is the easiest way to do so.
