My guess is that it's a Windows NTFS permissions issue.  Assuming you want to
blow away the entire C:\cygwin tree and start again fresh:  log on as
Administrator, take ownership recursively of the entire tree, and reset
permissions recursively of the entire tree.  You then should be able to delete
it.

HTH,

David
