I did some unfortunate experimenting with compiling different versions of Sleuthkit and Autopsy (http://www.sleuthkit.org) before they officially started supporting cygwin.
Autopsy wipes out your PATH when it runs to make sure you are using the correct version of the utilities. This also means, it could not see any of the Cygwin dlls that the tools were compiled with (they've implemented intelligent work-arounds since then). I tried hard linking the various dlls it needed in its designated bin directory. The experiment isn't important (since they now support Cygwin out of the box), what is important is that I cannot delete my hard links. Actually, I can get it to go the recycle bin, but it won't leave the recycle bin. I can 'restore' them but I cannot empty it. Looking through my bash history file, I see I did: chmod a+rwx cygz.dll unlink cygz.dll This let me delete the file as far as getting it to the recycle bin, but that is as far as I can go. The specific error from Windows is: Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete cygz: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Since the file is in my recycle bin, this message makes no sense. Is there some way I can make the original cygz.dll forget all about a couple of its hard links because ls still shows it has 3 total instead of 1 like every other single dll.
