OK, so find all the cygwin1.dlls left on your system and delete them. Like others said, if something is using cygwin1.dll, you'll get a complaint the next time you boot at least. You can then track down and eradicate all those things. For the official Cygwin release, if you installed any services that are configured to run automatically at boot up, you need to uninstall these. Then just delete the Cygwin directory. If no other products on your system run Cygwin, that would remove Cygwin from your system (you can remove the registry entries manually if you like). That's all that's required.
