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.-- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
I have deleted everything in C:\cygwin that I could figure out how to and then moved the cygwin folder to my Documents folder. I managed to delete everything before the move except for what became C:\Users\Mike\Documents\cygwin\dev\nul and C:\Users\Mike\Documents\cygwin\var\log\sshd.log. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the dev folder which tells me when I try to "Invalid MS-DOS function" or the var folder which tells me when I try to "Try Again" and that the folder is shared. It's just two files and a few nested folders.
I would be very grateful for any help. I'm trying to do this the right way because I don't want to get bit again when I try to do the fresh selective install because of something lying around from previous installs. I want to start from scratch.
Thanks in advance Mike -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
