The best way to do this is to launch Cygwin's 'setup' application and 
remove any packages that you don't need. Deleting any 'debuginfo' 
packages that you don't need will recover the most drive space, without 
affecting functionality too much.

It's better to remove packages using Cygwin's 'setup' rather than 
arbitrarily deleting files...
