Normally, I just replace C: with a bigger drive. Thankfully, diskpart allow
for partition and filesystem growing nowadays.
If that is not an option, then just shutdown everything cygwin related, move
whole directory away and make a junction back from new place.
Or, the long way, edit the mount points. But a directory junction is faster.
