Now I want to uninstall Cygwin, but get the message Windows is unable to delete .ssh. Seems some exotic file protection is in place Windows can't handle. The only removal instructions I can find for windows are "delete the complete cygwin directory", which is, as mentioned impossible by normal means. Any suggestions?
