Re: Deleting cygwin


I am having a problem to remove the cygwin folder, it delete most files
but mail in some!
Looks like i dont have permitions to remove the folders :s

I tryed to Chmod it, but it says that it cant change permission!

So is there any other way to remove the folder and subfolders\files (
other than format c: ;) )

I had similar issues at one time. If you right click and go into the properites for c:\cygwin you can 'take ownership' of all the files and directories in the tree and then set protection so you have full access (i.e. remove read-only...) to all files and directories in the tree.
