Any thoughts on why this is happening? Also, is it safe to force exit?

Edit: I found out forcing exit deletes the VM. is sdelete something I can disable? what cons are there to this?

This is an issue with sdelete 2.0 - I reverted to an old copy of 1.61 and it works fine. You can remove it, but your .box file will be bigger.

Confirmed - happens in my setup as well Works fine for win 8, takes lot of time, but eventually exists. In case of win 10 probably never exists. I tried to remove -q (quite) from the command line. SDelete does not produce any output
