Removing Cygwin on Windows

Since Cygwin doesn’t come with an uninstaller, we need to use commands to remove it.

1. Stop and uninstall all programs dependent on Cygwin
2. Run the following commands on cmd

   takeown /r /d y /f C:\cygwin64
   icacls C:\cygwin64 /t /grant Everyone:F

3. Run the following commands on powershell

   Remove-Item "C:\cygwin64" -Recurse -Force
