Probably true 99.9% of the time, although couldn't it also be possible that another Windows program is opening a Cygwin file in a mode that prevents deletion? (I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't be surprised to get this message if you're viewing a directory that is being uninstalled.)

If you installed the new one into another location, you presumably don't need or want the other one. For most packages at least, SETUP doesn't automatically try to update it if you haven't installed it. gsw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
