I'm not sure it applies in your case, but sometimes (and this happened 
to me under Windows 7), when you have folders or files, or maybe a whole 
disk, that are from an older installation so to speak, it can be hard to 
remove such files. I had that happen to me when I took a disk from an 
another computer that wasn't formatted and had cygwin on it among other 
things. I could not delete the cygwin folder even though I was running 
as admin. I solved it by running two commands (and here the old cygwin 
folder I wanted to delete was located on e:\cygwin):

First, take ownership of all files (recursively):
$ takeown /F E:\cygwin /R

Then, change permissions recursively:
$ icacls E:\cygwin /grant Administrators:F /t

after that I could remove those files and folders from that secondary 
disk. Maybe it doesn't apply for you, I'm not sure about that, and use 
with care, but I hope it helps.

How are you trying to delete ?

Windows won't let one remove a folder if it is the current working
directory of any process.  An easy mistake in Windows Explorer is to
have  as the working directory when trying to delete it
from the left panel directory tree.  I'd try using Windows Explorer,
going to , and deleting from there.

Another approach would be re-booting (a) into safe mode or (b)at
least keeping things from automatically loading.  (I forget exactly
how to do the latter so I just hold down shift, alt, and control
when booting - one of them works.)

If the person is available, you might ask whoever gave you the
computer (and presumably installed cygwin) for help or advice.

Please excuse me if you've already tried any of the above.  The
email string suggests that you might have tried some, but it is
not clear to me.

Good luck,

- Barry

Re: Remove cygwin

[Casual Trash]

Thanks to everybody for the replies.

I have tried to install again the cygrunsrv, setup.exe doesn't return any error 
but I can't find the cygrunsrv anywhere.

And procexp.exe has found any process in the cygwin folder.

So I can suppose that there is no service running and no process is blocking 
the cygwin folder, but why I can't delete it?

Somebody has an idea?

Thanks

Hi there,

could somebody send me details or a web link to fully uninstall cygwin 
so I can start over from scratch?


Just removing the C:/CYGWIN directory is not enough.  everytime I 
reinstall parts of the OS remain in place.


I want to fully start over.

Hi Scott,

you may just remove all path components from PATH which are part of cygwin.

I use the following bash function to do those removing since long years ago:

rmpc()
{
  local C=$2
  local R=""
  local OIFS="$IFS"
  IFS="$IFS:"
  set -- $1
  IFS="$OIFS"
  for i in "$@"
  do
if [ "x$i" != "x$C" ]
then
  if [ "x$R" != "x" ]
  then
R="$R:$i"
  else
R="$i"
  fi
fi
  done
  echo $R
}

to work correctly make sure your wrapper script starts with bash in magic line -
#! /bin/bash
for example but not
#! /bin/sh 
because when invoked as bourne shell necessary functionality may be missed


you may add this function directly after the magic line for invocation


then just before calling your dos batch scripts remove the unwanted
path components from PATH

you shouldn't do this earlier in your code because no cygwin applications
and scripts are found after this unless they are hashed by bash in a
pervious call


PATH=`rmpc $PATH /bin`
PATH=`rmpc $PATH /usr/bin`

you may remove any path component this way

PATH=`rmpc $PATH .` # remove .
PATH=`rmpc $PATH ""`# remove blank path components


caution: this mechanism remove all multiple occurences of a componente
from PATH


when returned from your dos batch script you are lacking the most cygwin
functionality.
to get it again you have to save the PATH previous to the changes:

SAVE_PATH=$PATH

and just restore it after the dos script returned:

PATH=$SAVE_PATH



Hi Kurt,

Thanks for the reply (as well as others who have contributed).  This 
looks like it will fit my needs perfectly.  I'll give it a try and post 
back if I have any more trouble.


Thanks!
Scott

PATH is just a regular variable like any other.  If you want to remove
something from it, use whatever text processing tool you like.  The
shell lets you set environment variables only for the command being
executed using the syntax "var=value command arg ...", so:

PATH=$(perl -e 'print join(":", grep([EMAIL PROTECTED]/(usr/)?bin@, 
   split(":", $ENV{PATH})))') cmd.exe /k batch-script.bat params

What I do is have a batch file I call before executing any dos commands 
(sort of a ".dosrc"), and in that I set my dos path. So for example I have a 
bash function "dos" that looks like this:


function dos() { local s=/c; if [ "$1" == "" ]; then s=/k; fi; cmd $s 
"%ETC%\login &" $*; }


... where %ETC%\login.bat is my ".dosrc" file. This enables me to say to 
bash, "dos" and get a dos prompt, or "dos foo" and execute foo in a dos 
context. LIkewise for things such as shortcuts to cmd.exe, I use "cmd.exe /k 
%ETC%\login".


I know this is not exactly what you're looking to do but perhaps something

Remove Cygwin Path for Called Batch Script

[Scott Wegner]

Hello,

I am trying to create a "wrapper" Cygwin bash script to add 
functionality to an existing Windows batch script.  In my Cygwin script, 
I would like to call the batch file with something like:


...
cmd.exe /k batch-script.bat params
...

Calling the script in this fashion seems to generally work (in that the 
script executes).  However, I have trouble because the Cygwin path is 
prepended to the Windows path in the batch script.  As a result, trying 
to use the Windows "find" use Cygwin's instead.


My question is, whether there is a way to easily strip the Cygwin 
entries from the path for the batch call.  Hopefully the solution would 
be portable, and not affect the environment outside of the bash script.


Thanks,
Scott Wegner

As I understand cygrunsrv, when you remove a service it
also assumes you wish to stop that service.  If the service
refuses to stop -- which isn't that uncommon for services
started under cygrunsrv (for testing) since they don't know
they are "services" -- then you will see that error.

I believe that cygrunsrv has already changed the registry
(unconfirmed) and therefore the service will be gone on
next boot.  (If not, I would consider this a bug in cygrunsrv.)

It might help (pure speculation) to enable one of the "signals"
when creating Cygwin-Apps as services.  This way the "stop"
will include a HUP or TERM.

[ I am new to cygwin so factor this into my answer...]

cygrunsrv -R SERVICE_NAME

Example:  cygrunsrv -R sshd

You may also use the Windows services.msc Control Panel
to "disable" or set a service to "manual".

Note that manual service MAY still run if some other service
starts them -- manual doesn't mean a user/admin must start
them, only that the OS will not start them automatically
unless requested to do so by another process or by an actual
manual user/admin request.

I have been unable to use cygrunsrv to "modify" a service;
so far, I have always removed the service and re-added it.

Remove cygwin services

What do I do in order to remove installed services of cygwin like sshd, init and
so on?

Thanks.

Well, yes, but I thought I let this as an exercise for the reader...

I've never had a problem with this, but: oughtn't he ensure that all
Cygwin services are stopped before he deletes c:\cygwin?  If not, I
fear he'll get "access denied" errors when trying to delete the
relevant .exe and .dlls.

There shouldn't be any cyg* files in the system folder.  If you want
to have it entirely clean, you'd have to delete all registry keys
*/Software/Cygnus Solutions/Cygwin with * being HKLM as well as all
HKU subkeys of users which have used Cygwin.

Is all I have to do to remove Cygwin from Windows 2000 Server SP3
 is remove any and all cyg*.* files from C:\WINNT\sytem32 and
delete the C:\cygwin folder?
