I have received a computer with some software already installed and I have to 
clean it up.
One of those software is cygwin, I tried to follow the instructions but without 
success.

1. I can't locate the cygrunsrv: there is no file with this name and there is 
no command in the bash shell with this name!
I have also checked the windows services but I can't find any of the mentioned 
services: sshd, cron,
cygserver, inetd, apache,
postgresql, etc
To remove services that installed by cygrunsrv install it again:

  cmd# setup.exe -p cygrunsrv

locate it and run shell prompt:

  cmd# cygrunsrv -L   # to list installed services
...
  cmd# cygrunsrv -R sshd   # to individually remove each installed service

Next you can remove whole cygwin installation directory...

That is.

2. I can't delete the cygwin folder because I receive the "Permission Denied" 
error, although I have marked all the files as not read only and changed the ownership to 
my account.

Can somebody help me out?

This can happen because some process have open handles to this directory.

Try run procexp.exe Ctrl+F and type path to find and kill such processes...
