In my case why the cywin directory (folder) cannot be deleted was due to 'access privilege'. To delete the folder, the user needs to 'take ownership' of this folder. It cannot be done easily in Windows GUI. It is, however, fairly easy to achieve in a command prompt window using three command lines.

I know this is a bit late but I like it:
If you have Linux subsystem installed (I have Ubuntu 18.04), you can remove that file via
bash
without any of the above. Just do,Win+r
->bash
->cd /mnt/c/cygwin64/usr/share/avogadro/crystals/zeolites
->rm CON.cif
.But I might be wrong. Compact suv with manual transmission.

Problem with
cmd.exe
and explorer.exe

is not. In a way, this is the same as Lucian's answer because it makes the computer consider the file as a regular file.Uninstall Cygwin Win 10
