In that case, the behavior is entirely up to what setup.exe can do and
what the GCC packages tell it to do.

setup.exe _can_ delete files (as opposed to GCC's own build system,
which can install, but not uninstall). I don't understand how you
managed to get all those versions on your system; if you just kept
upgrading GCC, I would have expected the previous versions to be
deleted.

Perhaps it's time for you to run   cygcheck -s -v -r   and attach its
output, as described in
