Can't turn off encryption in Fusion 5, MBP Air

$

I installed Ubuntu in Fusion 5.0.3 on my MacBook Air (latest Haswell) and turned on encryption. Now I have changed my mind and would like to only use FileVault in the Mac.

 

But I can't turn encryption off again. The password is correct (I can use the VM without problem), but I get a message box saying "Unable to decrypt virtual machine: Disk problem".

 

I have allocated 80GB disk to the VM (initially I accepted the default but I have increased it since). The checkboxes for preallocation and split into 2GB files are not checked. The size of the vm directory is 11G.

 

Am I doing something wrong here or should it be impossible to 'unencrypt' my drive? Is there another option if I don't want it encrypted (and don't want to reinstall Ubuntu, gah), it seems a bit of a waste to double-encrypt with both FileVault and in VMWare.

 

I would be very grateful for any help!

 

Best,

Carl
