Hi,
Sorry that I'm late here.
Tried updating cygwin to no avail, guess that was a foregone conclusion. Thought of moving useful files around and formatting the partition, but then I ran windows disk check, it didn't report any problems but then deleting with cmd did the trick. I'm not sure if cygwin would have worked, but probably yes I guess.
Thanks a lot guys!
