I havn't seen that, but simliar.  There remained setup.log and
setup.log.ful on my Desktop and I couldn't delete them.

From another Cygwin installation I was able to remove them with your receipe.

rm -rf /cygdrive/c/Users/prefix/Desktop/setup.log
rm -rf /cygdrive/c/Users/prefix/Desktop/setup.log.full
