Setup doesn't use a temporary working directory.

Any packages that have never been installed default to 'skip' for
installing.  If you deleted c:/cygwin/ and the registry keys, nothing is
installed so you don't need to remove them any further.  Just select the
desired versions of each package you want when you run setup.exe.
