Some time ago (for reasons I cannot remember) I decided to make a clean reinstallation of Cygwin, so as a safety measure I renamed the old installation to cygwin.old. After finally deciding I didn't need cygwin.old any more, I deleted it with:
rm -Rf cygwin.old The command took much longer to complete than I expected, but what's more surprising is that there is less available space (5Gb as indicated by df) after performing the deletion than before. Does anyone have an idea on why? -- Will -- 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
