Good question! That very issue is sometimes debated on the
@samp{cygwin-apps} mailing list. Check the list archives if you want to
know more.
@subsection How do I uninstall Cygwin?
Setup has no automatic uninstall facility. Just delete everything
manually:
@itemize @bullet
@item Cygwin shortcuts on the Desktop and Start Menu
@item The registry tree @samp{Software\Cygnus Solutions} under
@code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE} and/or @code{HKEY_CURRENT_USER}.
@item Anything under the Cygwin root folder, @samp{C:\cygwin} by
default.
@item Anything created by setup in its temporary working directory.
@end itemize
It's up to you to deal with other changes you made to your system, such
as installing the inetd service, altering system paths, etc. Setup
would not have done any of these things for you.
