Hi,


If you want to remove old Cygwin installation, you have 2 choices:

 - if install has been done for all users, just remove Cygwin folder from
Windows Explorer
 
 - if install has been done just for current user requiring admin rights,
just start a new cygwin session with bash or csh; go to cygwin folder and
then type: \rm -rf "Cygwin_folder";. In this case some system files have
been installed, only removable by file owner.


Regards,

Stéphane
