I was in the process of freeing up space on my computer, and I found that cygwin was taking up more space than I thought, I was trying to uninstall it, but it was failing to delete /dev/nul, the problem was that dos systems are forbidden from deleting files with that and a few other names (see https://superuser.com/questions/282194/how-do-i-remove-a-file-named-nul-on-windows) I believe that this information should be included in the removal documentation.
