Given: A W2K laptop on which Cygwin once ran fine, while logged onto a Windows domain account. Company was sold, and domain account terminated (though the profile still exists on the laptop). New user profile created for local (workgroup) use. User (with administrator privs) is unable to update, install, or uninstall cygwin. Not sure where the original conflicts came from. After several attempts, all I know for sure at this time is that Cygwin is royally hosed. Need to do a full uninstall/delete and reinstall. However, cannot delete various files in c:/cygwin -- windows will not allow those files to be deleted. Any ideas on how to completely remove cygwin so the machine can have it properly installed again? Thanks for any guidance.
