Re: Problem with deleting the Cygwin folder

Hello!
After running the setup program in "uninstall" mode, it seems
everything is left behind.
Hello Gregg,
Most probably a permission problem, take ownership of the cygwin
folder and all subfolders, change permission so that you can delete it
and then drop it, best is to use a deltree replacement inside the
cygwin folder (in a cmd shell):
for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /s /b /ad %1 ^| sort /r') do rd "%%d" /s /q
But you can also do this with Explorer, obce the permissions are set correct.
