I don't see anything informative there.  I see it starting to remove emacs (when I tried to uninstall it), but no red flags about failures.

Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
emacs                23.0.92-2      OK
emacs-el             23.0.92-2      OK
----------------

However, "/usr/share/emacs/" only has a "21.2" directory, there is no "/usr/sbin/emacs", and when I try to start emacs-x11, it says this:

Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/sbin/emacs/23.0.92/i686-pc-cygwin/) does not exist.
Warning: arch-independent data dir (/usr/share/emacs/23.0.92/etc/) does not exist.

Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/share/emacs/23.0.92/leim' does not exist.
Error: charsets directory (/usr/share/emacs/23.0.92/etc/charsets) does not exist.
Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.
Please check your installation!
