Re: Uninstalling cygwin
I'm having the same problem (see
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2004-06/msg00080.php ). I tried
your first instruction and got the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>rmdir /s /q C:\cygwin
C:\cygwin\user\share - Access is denied.
C:\cygwin\usr\local\pgsql - Access is denied.
C:\cygwin\usr\share\POSTGR~1\data - Access is denied.
C:\cygwin\var\POSTGR~1 - Access is denied.
