Hi, I've had similar problems. I noticed that the problems existed due to lack of permissions. When I set permissions (on the Windows side) as Full Control to Everyone, the deletion of old installation and the re-installation of new version worked.
It seems that permissions of the C:\cygwin directory (the install directory) should be set as Full Control to Everyone. Otherwise it is easy to get problems on re-installation.
