The easiest thing would be to simply search the whole Cygwin folder for 
a file with a content of your alias. The smartest thing would be to 
identify which shell you are using, read the FILES section of the man 
page and then to look into these files. If you use bash that would be 
/etc/profile, ~./bashrc and ~/.bash_profile.

Where ever you did put your aliases - if you didn't put them in 
~/.bashrc then you put them into the wrong place.
