Perhaps.

Joshua, if you have a chance, could you add something about using mount
to remove the options.  Of course, this might be sort of a chicken/egg
thing.

You could do something like:

mount --remove-all-mounts

Then use "My Computer" to delete the cygwin directory.

This would still leave an Cygnus Solutions key in the registry, though.
