I noticed a couple of small potential gotchas: the generated batch file has some of the filenames repeated. Also, in my installation there is one file name with spaces: e:\cygwin\usr\share\lcms\profiles\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm so here is a version modified slightly to remove duplicate filenames and to handle filenames with spaces. #!/bin/bash cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB | \ xargs --delim='\n' cygcheck -l | xargs --delim='\n' cygpath -w | \ sed -e 's/\(.*\)/del "\1"/g' | sort -u > remove-all-cyg-files.bat Regards, Vin Shelton -- 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/
