Hello Gregg,
Most probably a permission problem, take ownership of the cygwin
folder and all subfolders, change permission so that you can delete it
and then drop it, best is to use a deltree replacement inside the
cygwin folder (in a cmd shell):
for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /s /b /ad %1 ^| sort /r') do rd "%%d" /s /q
But you can also do this with Explorer, obce the permissions are set correct.

Problem with deleting the Cygwin folder
Hello! After running the setup program in "uninstall" mode, it seems everything is left behind. That is nothing seemingly was deleted. Also when I manually go ahead and try to delete the contents of the folder, it gets hung up on the devices folder. Especially the one marked null, and even the thing created by the init functions. And seemingly as well the folder items inside it as well. Are there any suggestions from the group for a go around against this one? If anyone is interested, I am trying to remove the folder to make room available for installing everything for building stuff for Windows Embedded. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
