something like this will build a batch file to remove all texlive* packages

$  cygcheck -cd | grep "texlive" |  awk 'BEGIN { printf ("setup-x86.exe 
-q ")} {printf( "-x " $1 " ") }END { printf "\r\n pause "}' > 
remove-texlive.bat

use it in the same directory of setup-x86.exe (or setup-x86_64.exe)
