Hey that's nice, thanks.

Yep. It's in /etc/setup/installed.db. Here's a shell script to generate a
dos batch file to remove all your cygwin files.
#!/bin/bash
cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB \
| xargs cygcheck -l | xargs cygpath -w | sed -e 's/^/del /g' \
remove-all-cyg-files.bat
This doesn't take care of the left-over directories. Running the list
through dirname sort uniq xargs cygpath and sed 's/^/rd /g'
another-batch-file.bat is left as an exercise for the reader.
I noticed a couple of small potential gotchas: the generated batch file has
some of the filenames repeated. Also, in my installation there is one file
name with spaces:
e:\cygwin\usr\share\lcms\profiles\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm
so here is a version modified slightly to remove duplicate filenames and to
handle filenames with spaces.
#!/bin/bash
cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB | \
xargs --delim='\n' cygcheck -l | xargs --delim='\n' cygpath -w | \
sed -e 's/\(.*\)/del "\1"/g' | sort -u > remove-all-cyg-files.bat
