There is advice about how to uninstall cygwin at http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all Since you still found the problem in safe mode, I don't think there is a process running that is holding the files open, because it shouldn't have started in safe mode. Instead, I think you have hit the permissions problem described in point 3 of the FAQ entry; please try using explorer to take ownership of the files as described there, then try again to delete them. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
