Re: Uninstall Cygwin


If, one day, I want to uninstall Cygwin. How can I do that? No icon in
Add/remove programs list, no start menu icon... I know there are values in the registry, but I don't know what values, so I cannot delete thes values. Is there one or more command to uninstall Cygwin?
Else, what can I do? Let it on my disk without using it because I can't uninstall it so loose more 1 GO and a half?

Simply remove C:\Cygwin (if that's where you stored it). There are some registry entries that can be ignored or use RegEdit to seek and destroy entries with Cygnus in them.

Or better than that would be to use setup.exe to uninstall. Then delete C:\cygwin
