CVS creates permanent files

While using CVS in cygwin it created a CVS repository file that cannot be
deleted from cygwin _or_from_Windows!  Windows complains when one attempts
to delete it that the disk may be write-protected or full (it is not)!
Permissions on the file are 444 but chmod does not work because "permission
denied".  As a result the directory cannot be deleted!  Any ideas how a
Windows file could be made "undeletable" within cygwin?  This is an isolated
Windows XP machine off of any local network.  There is only one account on
it, mine.  I am administrator and always log in as such.  Thanks.
