Re: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin

In the meantime I moved the directory away and I am able to install a

get rid of the old directory. Everything inside, that's a real file,
can be deleted manually by setting the appropriate privileges - what
remains are just the stale symbolic links and some symbolic links to
Windows files like /etc/hosts to C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\networks.
I'm curious. What happens if you open a Windows Explorer and attempt to
delete the top level directory for this renegade Cygwin install?
