A better way of removing cygwin is to "cygrunsrv -R" any services,
"umount -A" to remove all mounts, and then delete the cygwin install
directory. Rummaging around in the registry is not recommended.
It sounds like you still have a sshd service installed that is
referencing a nonexistent path. Type "cygrunsrv -Q sshd" to see if
there is such a service, and if so "cygrunsrv -R ssh" and then rerun
ssh-host-config.
