My guess is that it's a Windows NTFS permissions issue. Assuming you want to
blow away the entire C:\cygwin tree and start again fresh: log on as
Administrator, take ownership recursively of the entire tree, and reset
permissions recursively of the entire tree. You then should be able to delete
it.
HTH,
