Hello

I have deleted all but var and dev from my C:\cygwin folder (which was quite painful and time-consuming BTW) and then moved the cygwin folder to my Documents folder and then deleted a Cygwin desktop icon and two Cygwin folders from my Start > All Programs menu. Is that sufficient to give me a clean uninstall so that I can do a brand new Cygwin install without problems? I did it that way because I couldn't figure out any other way of uninstalling Cygwin.

Thank you Ken for your lightning fast reply. I did google for the answer but couldn't narrow it down to what I was looking for. I am sure that that is the definitive answer. Thank you very much. I will do it.
