Probably true 99.9% of the time, although couldn't it also be
possible that another Windows program is opening a Cygwin file
in a mode that prevents deletion? (I haven't tried it, but I
wouldn't be surprised to get this message if you're viewing a
directory that is being uninstalled.)

Have you tried simply uninstalling the Cygwin package? If you
installed the new one into another location, you presumably
don't need or want the other one. For most packages at least,
SETUP doesn't automatically try to update it if you haven't
installed it.
