Not important to keep.  Perfectly alright to delete.

>reinstall) for me to update the existing install?

Go to http://cygwin.com/ and click on one of the links to < setup.exe >.
They point to < http://cygwin.com/setup.exe >.  This will download
setup.exe again.

You might want to read < http://cygwin.com/install.html > and
< http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html#internet-setup >.
