A better way of removing cygwin is to "cygrunsrv -R" any services, "umount -A" to remove all mounts, and then delete the cygwin install directory. Rummaging around in the registry is not recommended. It sounds like you still have a sshd service installed that is referencing a nonexistent path. Type "cygrunsrv -Q sshd" to see if there is such a service, and if so "cygrunsrv -R ssh" and then rerun ssh-host-config.
