A month or so back, I untarred the Linux source in a folder in Cygwin (I was curious as to whether or not it would compile with MinGW 'cause my other computer running Linux is a slow single core Sempron). I tried deleting it, but there's 1 file left, and it will not delete...
Cygwin resides in C:\cygwin
, and I untarred the source in C:\cygwin\src\linux-3.7.1
. It didn't compile... So I tried deleting the folder. It was going well, until at the end, when I realized not all files are deleted. I tried deleting linux-3.7.1
folder again, and an error popped up:
I opened the folder, and found that there's 1 source file left: aux.c
, which is in C:\cygwin\src\linux-3.7.1\drivers\gpu\drm\nouveau\core\subdev\i2c\aux.c
.
It will not:
- Delete
- Open
- Move

How do I remove this file?
