Hello, I wanted to report a problem with the cygwin uninstallation:
If I delete the folder cygwin on my PC (Windows 7, 32 bit), as described in the FAQ "Cygwin uninstall", then there is remaining a special file C:\cygwin\dev\nul This file cannot be deleted afterwards from windows (at least, I didn't find any possibility.) So I wanted to post the following information: In my case (no warranty) the solution was as follows: For a clean uninstall of cygwin, FIRST delete this file cd /dev rm -f nul then exit cygwin, delete the cygwin folder (as described in the FAQ). Maybe this should be verified and then inserted into the Cygwin FAQ: How to uninstall Cygwin. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
