Uninstall/Reinstall a CygWin Package Advice


Hi,
I've never needed to uninstall a CyGwin package,so actually didn't know how.

My zsh was never being updated even though I could see that it was being downloaded and installed,
when I I ran setup.exe.

First of all INSTALL/REINSTALL/UNINSTALL/KEEP is all controlled by SETUP.EXE from the (marvellous)
"Select Packages to install"   window

REINSTALL should normally be enough HOWEVER

in case of problems such as mine I would RECOMMEND.

(first backup any config files eg  in my case .zshenv)

UNINSTALL

then if/as necessary manually delete any lingering binaries (TAKE CARE)

Then rerun setup.exe and select

INSTALL
